Thanks folks...I really am enjoying this tank, but not completely satisfied yet...lol....(perfectionist)...I'll toy around with the arrangement and add some more plants and rock stuff....but not bad...not bad at all !
It's a 15 gallon tank and I have a mini penguin bio-wheel and a 10 gallon size sponge filter in there along with an airstone. I add 1 Tbs of aquarium salt per 5 gallons as recommended for the guppies...and in several places I've read that the panda corys will tolerate that fine.
I'm lovin it !! :dance:

Warning..pretty big picture. I decided to see if I can sorta get a closeup shot of one of my larger congo tetras (nearly 3.5" long) and let me tell you its a scary sight. Not so cute and friendly when it looks big

I just got my 20L setup for some german blue rams. The only stock I'm putting in this tank is the pair of rams..which I've raised from fry...and 4 or more otocinclus.
The plants need to grow out and I need more of them, but it's a decent start. The substrate is Echo-Complete for planted tank....some of which I've taken from an established tank. I have a sponge filter which is seeded and will go in this tank as soon as I get an outlet to plug the air pump into...lol. I am using a whisper filter for a 20 gallon tank...no carbon in the filter bag. I'll pick up some kind of sponge to put in there along with the floss bag...as soon as I get a chance to get to a fish store.
There is a dual flourescent fixture with 40 watts total of lighting, but I don't think the bulbs are 6700K. I'll wait and see how these bulbs do before I go out and replace them. I have high hops for this tank....oh, I'm also dosing with flourish excel. We'll see how it goes !
