My 29 Gallon Planted Tank Thread!

So, one day last year I was sitting in my apartment at college and I thought "I want an aquarium..." My girlfiend thought it was the most random thing ever, but I started looking up stuff online and reading books, magazines, etc. After about a month a picked up my 29 Gallon bowfront "kit" as my first aquarium.

It was a kit that came with Power Filter 30 HOB and a 100W Heater, some flake food, a single strip 24" Florescent fixture and a hinged glass hood. I got the pea gravel substrate and the "big resin rock" to go inside...and a terra cotta pot




After a few weeks I got some plants..the corkscrew grass quickly melted away :headshake2:.




I put it on the desk in my apartment and added a blue background... I had no idea how ADDICTED:devil: I would become!!




This Summer (6/08) I got some grasses to go in there... Mondo Grass (whatta newb!) :headshake2: was worthless in the aquarium.




I moved this aquarium to my house (~3 hours away). Then I got some more plants... Wisteria (Hygro. Difformis).

More to come...:headbang2:

So, here is the start of the Wisteria in the 29G...




The tank was moved again to my new apartment back at college in August 2008. And I also got a Nikon D60 DSLR camera just before this, so the pictures will be way better from here on.




One of the Gouramis I have...and I chipped the rock during the move.




I also added a Cryptocoryne Lutea




Here is one of the White-Finned Rosy Tetras that has been there from the start.






Here is a picture of the tank at the first of 10/08 (BEFORE a trim )





After a little trim...





They all look the same! Here's a picture of the awesome L-56 Pleco!! I love him!






Here is the most recent picture I have from a week ago (10/08)






I changed the background around to the black side! I looks a million times better... My camera charger is messed up, so no pictures for a few days but, hopefully soon!! My album shows all of the fish we have and our other tank (90G).
