MTS rescape for my 50gal

2 new occupants.

I know...these will be in two different threads, but i feel like for the congruity of this thread they should be here.


Trucks drove up at the same time lol.

Nice little tank there. A little overboard on the plant list, but that is the "collectoritis" plant hobbyist state of mind. Mineralized topsoil is the way to go. Good stuff and will last a very long time. I have been doing this for years and run all my planted tanks with MTS.

lol collectoritis, good way to put it. I am sharing a bunch of these with a fellow hobbyist but it kindof is allot eh?

This whole system was designed to support these two. I LOVE plecos, and these two are thrilling.
 
Also a little bit back to MTS...the longer i have the stuff the more i like it. IT IS AMAZING TO PLANT IN, you can simply place your finger on top of the root of your pant and press down...then as you slowly lift your finger away the substrate litteraly rolls into the divit, filling it in and securing your plant. Only thing left to do at that point is gently brush the crater ring down and you're set. Every plant i put in has already begun to grow new shoots and my floating plants are now getting culled by the handful daily. I'm certainly no amazing fish keeper but at this point I 100% approve of my chosen substrate...and just a reminder...it cost $75 shipped.
