Aquarium Advice Addict
So right now here is my 29 gallon.
Filtration- aquaclear 50 HOB on the left, live sponge filter from angelsplus on the right.
Lighting- flourescent strips, 15w each, for a total of 30w, they are old and need to be replaced, so I will be visiting home depot at some point in search of plant growing lights.
Substrate- sand, just added malaysian trumpet snails
Decor- One piece of driftwood so far, (more to come) a terracotta pot broke in half for caves
Live plants- java fern and two amazon swords bought at local fish store, in the mail I have coming- Anubis, assorted crypts, more java fern, dwarf sag. I have also ordered root tabs and some basic fertilizer additive (seachem flourish)
Livestock-
8 cherry barbs
6 cory cats
4 otos
2 bolivian rams
1 bristlenose pleco
1 apple snail
I am not sure if I like the bubble curtain or not, I only put it in there becuase I thought it looked off balance with the bubbles coming out of the sponge filter on the right. I am considering putting a second sponge filter in the left, moving the aquaclear filter to the center and removing the bubble curtain completely. It sounds trivial, I also want to eventually move that thermometer to the bottom and hide it behind the plants once they start growing really good.
