Andrew's 36 gallon Bowfront

[TheFishBoss97]

If your friend gets a BN Pleco or any other type of Pleco, he will have to get a piece of driftwood since all Plecos suck/bite driftwood to sharpen their teeth. Get some Rotala Indica. This plant will thrive in any light condition and will grow very fast. The rotala indica in my low light 20 Gallon Planted FW with a 18watt bulbs grows on an average of 3-4 cm per week without CO2 and with a dose of flourish once a week.

BN's need driftwood in their diet for digestion, for most others it isn't a requirement.

Hey Andrew, how's the cycling going?

 

[BostonGahden]

Still waiting on the Ammonia levels to drop. Been about 9 days and still reading between 4ppm and 5ppm.

Driftwood is still soaking too - still floating to the top. Hopefully that will be done soon.

Gahden are you in MA? I can give you some old filter media if you want it to help cycle

I am, thanks for the offer. For now I want to see if everything will run the course that it is supposed to.

How's your wood andrew?

 

[silentcircuit]

Could easily take days, weeks, months for driftwood to sink. I've had a piece in my tank for well over 2 months now that refuses to sink.

Kind of a personal question....

The wood still floats, but hopefully that will be taken care of this weekend (with some slate screwed to it).
