Jpappy's planted 20 gallon long "build" thread

Thanks, so far there haven't been any other deaths.

I'm pretty excited about the stock. Already placed my order with Mg, just waiting to hear back from Rachel to see pricing. Probably wont get anything until next week though.
 
It looks just about all filled in! I know what you mean with diatoms, I am finally having the "bloom" of them in my paludarium. Hopefully they go away in a couple weeks, I hate having to look at them on my sand, glass, and plants (I could care less about the background or wood..).
 
very nice, it looks perfect and wild. Did all the fish from your stock list arrive?

Yep everything arrived...only one "DOA" sparkling gourami, although it was a few hours after delivery when I got home to get the package so it may have died after arrival. Regardless, one out of 32 fish is not bad at all!
 
Im working with a really crummy phone camera...pretty much impossible to get good closeups. Going to try an old digital...

Either way diatoms are making it hard to get good shots, everything looks yellow/green...

I just read all of the posts in this thread and it was awesome. Great tanks ! I love the look of the 5.5 and the 20L. The driftwood really just puts it all together and makes it amazing. Great job and i hope the diatoms go away soon. I havent had to deal with them after i got some otos for my 10gal. I hope everything continues good for you! :)
