OK, so after about 3 weeks' delay, I finally have the time to set up this tank. I was going to, but I was busy for awhile, so now I am back at it! I've been reading so many Journals by people lately (mostly by Brian_Nano12G), and I decided I will do one for this tank. This is my first ever planted tank, which means lots of questions (I've been asking all of them in this thread: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f24/plant-questions-271811.html), but thanks to many people (specifically but not only Rivercats and Brian_Nano12G), I think I've mostly gotten through that phase. Here are the specs on the tank:
Equipment:
Filter- Fluval 105
Heater- Aqueon 50W Submersible Heater*
Standard 10 Gallon tank (20x10x12)
Finnex Fugeray LED 7000k Light
Top Fin Floating Glass Aquarium Thermometer*
Black Background*
CO2 Drop Checker* (not sure what brand yet, recommendations are welcome)
Hardscape:
Substrate- Eco Complete
White Sand*
Décor- Rocks (in pictures)
Driftwood*
Fauna:
-12 Celestial Pearl Danios*
-10 Red Cherry Shrimp*
Flora:
These are plants I am interested in, I probably won't have all of these.
-Java moss*
-Java fern*
-Crypt parva*
-Crypt wendtii*
-Vallisneria americana ‘natans’, ‘mini twister’*
-Blyxa japonica*
-Dwarf Hairgrass*
-Dwarf Hygrophila*
-Dwarf Hygrophila “sunset”*
-Water Wisteria*
-Giant Ambulia*
-Windelov*
-Riccia fluitans*
Fertilizer:
-API Leaf Zone*
-Seachem Flourish Excel*
-Seachem Flourish Comprehensive*
-Seachem Flourish Root Tabs*
*I have not acquired this yet
So anyway, that's my setup thus far. The system only lets me post 4 pictures in one post, so I'll post the other ones separately. I'll post anything new on here.
Thanks for reading!!!
