Taylor's 12 gallon planted build thread.

I have a strong feeling this is going to be a pretty cool build thread :thumbsup:

yeah, nice light choice. I love my current fixture, even though it's not the right size for my tank. lol.

any ideas how you want it to LOOK?

Sorry for the delay, I crashed early yesterday. I also made an iffy decision to get a german blue ram. Haha

Get more plants in there ASAP. With the ammonia levels from the Aquasoil, it won't take too long for the algae to set in, cram the tank with as many plants as you can.

wow, I like the wood and the mosses.
That ram also looks sweet!

Looking good!! get some plants in there soon or you may start to see algae soon.

Nice start!

Rams love established tanks so don't be too discouraged if you run into rough luck with the first. Also they love to be in mated pairs (if you buy them from your lfs look for a pair that already appear to have "chosen" each other. You are gonna love Blue Rams! :thumbsup:

Also, your GBR(s) will appreciate more plants but be sure to maintain some open swimming space for them! This is going to be a great tank!

I totally agree... I wouldn't have used aquasoil without a full tank of plants on hand. I'd see if you can grab a handful of water sprite or floaters until you have your other plants.
