Ogre's Tank - almost here
- Thread starter OgreMkV
- Start date
Full
Added Prime. I'll wait until tomorrow for the water to settle and then start up the pump. I got a great deal on the xP3. Cost at Shop $179.99. Cost after internet search and AC advice $74.99.
Plants and bio-loaded filter pack will come in Monday and 3 Zebra danios on Wednesday (or there abouts). 4 Neon Tetras will come in by Saturday May 26th.
After that... more Zebras (long-fin probably), more Neons, and some cool Cory cats.

I have fishes. Yay me.
4 Neons and 3 Zebra Danios have joined the tank. It's still kind of bare, but it's getting there. They seem so happy in their giant new home. I'd post a picture, but I'd like to wait until it's a little more interesting.
The tank took about 4 days to cycle. I had some help in the form of a filter from the established tank that these 7 fish were already in. Still doing water checks though.
The temperature is still vexing me. It's 72 in the house. The Stealth is set at 68 and the water temp is 79. Is there such a thing as a too powerful heater? 79 is within the range for the fish I want... barely. We'll just have to live with it.
My cats are already enjoying their new 'TV' too.

It may be still losing heat from the fill up depending on the temp of the water you used. Also some heat may be being added by the filter. Some of my tanks can maintain temp at times just do to residual powerhead heat.
Nice looking tank you got.

Planted
Latest pics somewhat planted. Yes, I know, there's a big piece of driftwood floating in my tank. I don't want to talk about it :huh:
