75 gallon Planted Office Tank Journal

Next time I will try that trick. Learn something new (about aquaria) every day. For this tank, I guess the test will be $60.00 worth of Amano. :hitting:
My boss now wants a tank in his office, being 10 feet away from mine is not good enough. Looks like I get to do this all over again! Keep sending in the tips.
Geek, you should do like 90 gallons for your boss and ask him for a bit larger budget and make him a discus tank. My 125 is housing 7 discus right now and it is a beauty man. You like to order fish online, but I go to discus breeders that have good quality juveniles for $25 a piece. Think about it. Discus are my favorite freshwater fish, but also the hardest fish to take care of in my house. I have my first marine reef tank as well. I found it on craigslist for $80 for everything including fish and live rock.

Every time I try and do a google search on EI method, I get the same couple of hits, which are fine, but they dont always explain everything start to finish in full detail, because it is assumed you should already know a thing or two, and the intructions are simple because EI is meant to be simple. But what if you want your hand held, like I did, when I was researching switching from PPS-PRO to EI? Well today I dug a little deeper, and found this fantastic link I wanted to share.

Yeah, I am lucky in that sense. Bosses take care of me pretty well. I told him we should do marine for him, but he went from hating the idea of a planted tank, to loving it once he saw it starting to take shape in my office, so now he only will consider another planted tank. I will inquire about the advertising relationship you mentioned.
90 are nice, but for some reason the 75 seems to be the perfect tank to me. Not too high, nice and deep. I think he actually will need a smaller tank, I dont know if we can squeeze a 75 into his office. I like discus alot, but I showed him a picture and he called them "ugly". :banhim:
I am going to show him some discus tank pics, or maybe what 100x tiger barbs, or some other little fish look like in a massive school. Maybe we should try a non-planted semi agressive tank, like the larger african cichlids. I need to sell him any idea I come up with, but I tell you what, I dont have to have an exact replica of what I have in my office, what would be the point of that?
Shrimp are in! This is the first shipment I received that same in "breather bags". Since I didnt know anything about them, I do a google search. I came up with this link, which explains why/how they work. (note: I bought the shrimp from AC member msjinkzd, not the vendor at the link below)

Floating bag now, pictures to come later in day.
