2 tanks into one.

Well I finally got tired of having 2 small tanks. I had a 10 gallon and a 9 gallon biurbe. So I got a 20 long from a friend, painted a black background, got a aquaclear 50 hob, and some pfs. I'm running the hob filter from the 10 gallon along with the aquaclear to seed the tank. I put the filter sponge from the biurbe in the aquaclear as well. I have just a few fake plants for now. I must say I like the sand! So here is a before and after.

Sorry the 9 gallon was a biube. Had it wrong.

Looks good, big improvement IMO! What kind and how many fish you got in there? You need some live plants and the tank will really pop!

 

[racedvl]

Well, the stock is gonna change here soon. Current stock is....
Creamsickle molly.
2 long fin black skirt tetras.
2 peppered Cory cats. (Wanna add 3 more cats.)
2 Harlequin rasboras. (Wanna add 3-4 more.)
And 1 scissor tail rasbora.

I know the tetras and the scissor tail need more friends ... but the Bio load would be too great. I might rehome or just keep them the duration. I have had the tetras for almost 3 years in just a group of 2, and the scissor for about a year and one half. I know better now than when I bought them.

And thanks. I do wanna toy with a couple low light, low tech live plants. I am really happy with the turn out of this one so far.

Looking good!

 

[racedvl]

Thanks!

The cories might need some friends too!!

 

[Borderlesscott]

Totally agree

The cories might need some friends too!!

Definately leave space for more cory's - love those guys. Seriously the first tank I look at in the LFS is the one with like 50 Sterbai Cory in it, fantastic!

I have 6 pandas and they're my favourite!

 

[racedvl]

Oh yes more corys for sure....
