My first tank with substrate! :D

After a year and a half of bb tanks, decided to take the plunge.

Went with PFS sand

Just a different view of some of the caves

Very nice! Should look amazing when it clears up

 

[fishman888888]

Thank you

Should I add more driftwood?
I could stack/overlap the wood to give my L204s more crevices... but it might start to
Look crowded in there. Any thoughts?

Im also afraid to add slate, it looks pretty natural at the moment

 

[Mebbid]

I think it looks good as is. I would try to get some different plants in there for height and call it good.

 

[fishman888888]

I wanna keep it extremely low tech

L204s need high oxygen levels....
Does excel/metricide have any effect on the oxygen level?

Definitely low light tank. Just a 36" satelite +.... newest edition

Plant suggestions?

 

[Mebbid]

Excel doesnt change the o2 at all actually.

Would some amazon swords work?

Would some amazon swords work?

Absolutely, assuming this is a low light tank then you could do Crypts, Anubias, Java fern, Java moss, amazon swords, and a few others. Here's a better list.

Excellent List of Low Light Plants

Some crypts would look amazing in there. Especially balansae and some wendtii and undulata. Could almost imagine a big overgrown clump of java fern on the dw.
Awesome tank. I know you're keeping it plec only. What other plecs you considering?

 

[fishman888888]

Im just gunna put a really bushy amazon sword in tonight and see how it looks

The 75g is for my L204s only

My 125 is for my bosemani rainbows
With just some otos, farlowella cats and SAEs

I also have my bn plecs in there, but ill set up a4 0 breeder solely for them when i move in december
Parents already complain about my 3 tanks... dont need more o that

I sold my angels. They werent very friendly community fish in my tanks. They made everyone scared.

 

[fishman888888]

Added my smaller amazon sword, my big one is too beautiful, i dont want to mess with it in my other tank

Should i add a 3rd AC110?

,..still going to get some small powerheads

Possibly add a few more pieces of driftwood. The L204s absolutely love it. They barely leave it, except for feeding time
