155 gal, 6 plants - Aquarium Advice

Xzap · 11-13-2006, 10:08 PM

Hey everybody

Set up 10/14/06. Cycled in 4 weeks with 3 tetras and seeding.

6 jungle val planted and I will let a few runners grow. One bunch of hygro floating. Two pieces of driftwood, one piece of grapevine.

Today I added 3 glow tetras, 10 gold danios, 2 zebra danios & 3 blue rainbows.

Thx,

Dave

Tank is looking fantastic. The only thing I would recommend is a background. The wallpaper takes away from the beauty of the tank. Black would look fantastic IMO. That is a very gorgeous tank.

BTW, I've got 2 little danios in the overflow this morning *lol*

Thx,

I got the background on and I'm pretty much stocked.
I added 2 new 96 watt cf lamps.

I can't rem. the types of all the fish *lol* they're all small, colorful tetras, danios, the cool ones that look like they have red eyes, silver and red and black.. about 40 -45 total, 1 royal plec & 1 king plec

6 -10 jungle val, 1 bunch of floating hygro.

Thx,

dave

Looks lovely!!
What filter are you running...?
Also, I think your feeding basket is upside down.

Xzap · 12-22-2006, 07:19 AM

It has a double wet/dry system.

I turn my worm feeder upside down on purpose; some of the fish won't go all the way to the top to get a worm

Thx,

Dave
