You going to have shrimp in there too? You could put cherries or even crystal if you can afford it.

If you go the route of shrimp, I am sure all the invert fanatics can guide you. I preferably would put some moss in the tank instead of HC, but that's my choice.

What light do you have over that tank?

By the way, Welcome to AC!

Nice little iwagumi layout you have going. I'd move the tall rock a little more towards the middle, it's the centerpiece of the tank but is too far left. Perhaps place one or two Blyxa japonica among the rocks.

looking good. Any plans for stem plants towards the back? or perhaps some blyxa to bring out the right side more

Any co2 setup?
Filtration only the red sea nano filter??

And welcome to AC!! :headbang2:
i took out the red sea nano filter and put in those zoomed canister filter 501. was thinking about some blyxa but cant get it at my lfs. I dont want to deal with buying plants from online.

Will you be dosing the tank??

whens that paintball reg part coming in?? Hope it comes in before wednesday because the hc can really use that co2 boost.

Why no online buying of plants??

not sure when its comming. bought it from aquaticmagic(really.... really..... slow shipping). i orderd my co2 glass diffuser exactly 20 days ago and it hasnt even came yet. im dosing flourish excel for now until im finished getting everything for my co2 system. i have the hagen plant gro liquid fertilizer(i think) should i dose that or is excel enough?
