Got my filter and light n today finally, as well as some frogbit that seemed to have frozen over on the way down from Conn. sadly. I'm hoping it wasn't damaged too badly, though it did have some ice crystals and some of the leaves have turned brown. It's in an 81* tank now with a 6700k bulb(T5HO Hagen Life Glo) and 18000k bulb(T5HO Hagen Power Glo) lighting it up now. The tank is still quite barren, in my eyes. I'm hoping to order from mgamer tomorrow and get a shiptment of wood and 20 or so plants sent out on Monday. The I can really work with some aquascaping.
My idea / goal is to have the back of the tank lined with driftwood with some piled/stacked towards the left of the tank and on the right of the tank have the rocks piled a bit higehr with a few smaller pieces of wood stacked in/around it to make it a bit more natural looking. Hopefully I can get the moss to grow there real well. Hopefully I'll have a planted left side, grassy right side and backdrop of ferns in teh back along the other wood with an open middle.
I'm really stoked things are starting to piece together.
No Flash - the tank is this bright
Tank is darker in these pics with the flash on:
