Got my plants.

Pretty nice. I kinda just planted everything just to get it in there and healthy and to build up plants. After everything grows and gets healthy. I know nothing about aquascaping. I was thinking about doing the high plants on either side with smaller plants going to the middle.

I have

Corkscrew Val
Jungle Val
Contortion Vals
medium Amazon Sword
Large Red Rubin Swords
Anacharis
Cabomba
Narrow-leaf Ludwigia
Medium Ruffle Swords
potted tennellus Chain Swords

Just some quick pics. They def. need to get healthy. But it's nice that just after a few hours they are already giving off a little bit of o2.

I did sit down and make a sketch of how I wanna do my tank.. But that's minus the driftwood. Need to get that and see how it all looks.

I will later on. I'm going to wait till they get a little better looking. I ordered my wood, but I'll still have to soak it when it get's here. And I'm still trying to work out how I want it to look in general.



Was thinking of something like that.. I only have 2 swords, so I might move the crypts to the sword area and place one sword to hide the filter intake and put the other around my vals. I'l like to get some foxtail and maybe another type of leaf plant.

Alot of my ideas I need to wait for plants to fill out so I can start trimming. I might move the one group of chains on the right over a little further.

Yeah, Cabomba grows like crazy. Don't think I had a prob with algae on ludwigia in the past (but that was like 5 years ago). heh.

Man. my vals are a bummer right now.. Next time I order online, I should check out reviews. But the only decent thing is, they look better then any that I saw in the LFS these past weeks.

Sent ya a PM on that.

I also got bored.





Putting some of my homebrew gear to use. 5 gallon plastic carboy and using a airlock as a bubble counter. Stick air line down into the top of the airlock and siliconed it in place and have no leaks on that.

No good reactor for it, so right now tubing goes into the intake with a air stone on the end.
