Carlos & Siran Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 We finally have our tank the way we want it and have added our fish after a year of getting the plants established and dithering.

Carlos & Siran Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 They are just branches from a Macrocarpa tree that had been cut down, we siliconed them to the bottom of the tank and zip tied them together in the shape we wanted.

zeebee Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 I see you have an aqua one? 980t? Are you using the stock lighting or have you upgraded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos & Siran Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Aqua one yes. Its an aqua grande 120. Just 2 plant grow tubes and 1 sunlight. What can you do to upgrade the lighting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Wow the plant growth is amazing !drool: Awesome layout :thup: Why do you have an air stone in there? With all those plants you'll be getting plenty of oxygen in the water, and if anything the air stone will be driving out any CO2 in the water which the plants like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos & Siran Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Thanks. Mr Wiggles died, just don't understand why, everything in the tank was fine and dandy. Makes you question your skills when a cool fish like that just up and dies for no apparent reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 It does hurt when you lose a fish/eel for no apparent cause ... and then you wonder who's next. BTW, is this a low tech ( no CO2 injection ) tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, is this a low tech ( no CO2 injection ) tank? Hi, yes it is, all we have is the ferts we put in, the fish and plants, plus the bubbler. Haven't got the $$ to set up CO2 yet. One day.
