10 gal planted office tank

[ampersand]

I've had this thank set up for one year now and I'll start posting some pictures of it's progress.

Initially: (This is about 8 months after set up) Feb 2010
Lighting: 2-15 watt bulbs (really old) I had them sitting around for a while

And after a few trimmings, some water changes, DIY CO2, and a few weeks of growth (3/24/2010)
Lighting: 1 of the old 15 t8 watt bulbs and one brand new 15 watt coral life t8 bulbs

Sorry for the blinding green light.


Flora:
-Crypt wendtii red & green (Cryptocoryne wendtii)
-Java Fern
-Bacopa australis
-Java Moss
-Riccia (recent introduction)

Fauna:
-Crystal Red/Black Shrimp
-Cherry Red Shrimp
-Pygmy Corys (Corydoras pygmaeus)
-Least Killifish (Heterandria formosa)
-Pond Snails
-You can see that I used to have flounder (Achirus lineatus) in there too

Substrate: Eco-complete Planted aquarium substrate

Fertilization: Flourish tabs and Grow-it

I just ripped out a fair amount of the riccia if anyone is interested in it... I'll be posting it in the marketplace forum soon. So more pictures to come!

Absolutely beautiful... makes me remember the horrible OS office tank in a place where my Mother used to work. Proof that aquariums make ANY place look better.

There is a lot going on in there. But the plant choices were good.

Very nice. Makes working in the office nicer I hope. I am working on an office tank too. Keep up the good work.
