lol thanks guys, but i really shouldnt have uploaded such a messy tank. I cant seem to get rid of the floating plants!!!! grrrr

The current stocklist is
3 cherry barbs
3 harley rasboras
5 rummynose tetras
7-9 micro rasboras (seriously dont know how many)
1 bolivian ram -male
1 clown pleco
1 lonely and very adventurous dwarf cray

I plan to get atleast 5 more rummies, 3 more rasboras, 2-3 cherry barbs, 2 female bolivian rams and maybe a bn pleco.

I would get some oto cats but in my last tank they died towards the end since there was no algae around

What happened to your other female Ram?

Truly a nice tank there, the messy part is the best part because it gives you a blank canvas to work on. But instead of paint, an Aquarist uses plants, wood, rocks, and fish.

The other female died for unknown reasons. I came home turned on the light and saw her swimming in circles.. Was a real shame since i had her for so long and went through so much trying to get her to eat. Ill have to checkout a lfs tomorrow maybe ill start my new stock with the rams.

though yes the mess gives me something to work with, then again i felt like selling almost all the plants and just starting off from scratch. That way I can do everything a plant at a time and place things in their right locations.

ehh who knows. I should be getting rid of the last of the extra plants on monday. Still nagging my friend about sending me a co2 regulator, so who knows might have pressurized soon.

Those red plants of mine got you going don't they BK? (lol) :dance2::grinno:

Great job BK. Its really coming along.

Thanks cfsinc, shh about the red plants lol just have to rub them in my face?? lol

Thanks derek. Coming along but not really. Im thinking once the lighting is back to normal and co2 is at a constant level then i will probably do a big rescape once again.

Well just to kill time i took a video of the tank..
Kick back and enjoy the tank to some peaceful music.

[WaywardSon]

Sweet video - it's amazing to me how quickly it came together. I know it was a lot of work on your end, but boy does it look great!

 

[derekp]

The best results always come from the most work...well done.
