Guess who's back? Back again!
Heres whats been happening:
I moved from Ohio to the Dallas area in Texas over the summer. Now I'm living in an apartment smaller than what I'm used to, and since you can't really ship fishtanks, I left them all at home in storage. I wanted to set up this tank again a long time ago, but we couldn't really use the money on such a thing yet, so I just waited. Instead, I focused more on my recently discovered hobby for running. I joined the cross country team at my high school and will be in Track in the spring. Last week, we finally bought a little table suitable to support a 29 gallon tank, and since I shipped ALL my equipment with me, I cold now start my long-awaited project again.
I plan on making a 29 gallon South American biotope with Cardinal tetras, Hatchetfish, a German Blue Ram, a couple Otos, and some Cherry shrimp thrown in. It is currently empty except for the washed sand in it, and the back is painted black too. In the next week or so I will be constructing an oak canopy similar to the one I built for this tank. It will be the same with four 27 watt 6700K fluorescent lights DIY wired, providing me with 3.1 WPG.
I'll try to get pictures of my progress.
