Just a blog type thing for my new 40g adventure.
(Old tank, new adventure)
How this came about:
55g as shown in my sig, had the back glass crack from top to bottom around 2am about a year ago.
Gave all the contents to my brother to put in his 40g(this one).
We've been wanting to remove the indoor pond for a while now. So he's letting us use his 40g to house our Syn. eupterus that we've had for somewhere around 18 yrs.
He's typically hung around(upside down) under a rock(cave) in the pond for a long time. So I wanted to try to come up with something for him to "hang out" under.
Here's how it's starting out...
So far 2 "Cat Ports"(as we call'em) made out of some scrap acrylic sheet and tubing I had laying around.
Just giving the few plants some time to grow some roots. So they don't get up rooted because he just happen to swim by.
This is around day 5 for the 4(Wysteria) in the back, and day 3 for the two in the tubes. Not sure about the 2 up front. Should be anubias lanceolata, anubias afzelli.
I didn't think about taking picks of the "Cat Ports" before putting them in.
The back part has Flourite Black Sand in it.
The floor is bare except for a little flourite thats made it's way there.
The back and bottom were painted flat black(outside).
HOT 250 Magnum on the back for filtration.
