Well, since my 30gal turned out to be a 20gal I decided to make a brand new thread for it. This thread will come complete with pics, fish, and names for everything I can name! So, dive in and enjoy my 20gal Long Tropical Community Tank!
^ So, this is a pic of my new Blue Ram. At about 1/2 an inch long, he is at once the smallest and most beautiful fish I have ever seen in my tanks! The picture sucks, my camera isn't good at seeing small things. If/when I get better pics I will post them.
^ The ram is so cute he deserves another picture
^ This is the full tank shot. On the left we have driftwood in a sort of "root" structure (at least, that's what I was aiming for) and on the right we have a rocky sandy planted section, meant for the active swimming fish like my Black Skirt Tetras.
^ This is just another picture of the the 20gal long.
So, for a list of equipment, stock, and extra.
Equipment:
-Marineland Penguin 350 (removed biowheels to make it quieter, that worked!)
-Heater
-Thermometer (new addition)
-T8 Lighting, single strip bulb
-Hood, very nice, fits the room and the tank and the stand. I like
Eventual Stock:
-1 Mystery Snail (in tank now)
-1 Blue Ram (in tank now)
-5 Black Skirt Tetras (in QT)
-4 Bronze(?) Corys (in QT)
-1 Pearl Gourami (in QT)
Drift Wood, Rocks, Plants, and Substrate
-Sand and Gravel substrate, a little mixed
-between 5-10 pieces of driftwood, varying sizes
-various pieces of rock, some dead corals from a collection, some slate, some with metals in them, most from my back yard
-2 Sword Plants
-Numerous samples of Ludwigia
-Several samples of Dwarf Baby Tears, because I just wanted to try it out
-A few small (1inX1in, .5inX.5in) bathroom floor tiles that I had never noticed before lol
-A ton of hair algae on the driftwood
-Java Moss
-Other Moss
I know the tank is going to be somewhat overstocked, but the filter can handle the fish, and I plan to stay on top of my WCs so they will be fine. I can't wait to see the tank fully stocked, I'm betting it will look truly epic! So, any comments, advice, ideas, extra that you have to offer, I will be happy to hear!
