55 gal tank log

[Zagz]

Sorry about the blurriness of the pics, the bird was chasing my feet. It's rather hard to take steady photos when a bird nips your toes!

55 gals, play sand, it will have a fluval 304 and emporor 280 on it. Using media from the FX5 to kick start the cycle.

I'll pay you shipping to 57701 for it

Lookin' good Anne All of your tanks are amazing and your advice is priceless!

Looking good, it fits the decor of the room as well.

I love the stone house/castle. Call me crazy, but in the last pic, the plant to our left of the house/castle looks (at the very top of it) like Yoda cocking his head.

"Cycled must your tank be before stocking it you can.”

(I'm not meaning to be instructional--just jokey )

Nice looking tank! If you need any plants just send me a pm. I have a couple of good LFS that carry Tropica plants close by, plus I am always trimming something back. With you being in Canada I could get stuff to you pretty quick. Keep us posted

Day 2. I added the seeded material from my FX5, if this doesn't make a fast cycle, nothing will! LOL.

Some pics of the seeded junk, I mean media.

 

[black hills tj]

I don't think i'd be able to tolerate a tank looking like that for more than a couple days.

 

[Zagz]

LOL it's already cleared up over half of that.

Day 5, ammonia is .5, nitrite is 0ppm and nitrate is 5ppm! Almost there.

 

[Zagz]

Hooray for seeded media. One week and the ammonia is 0ppm, nitrite is 0ppm, and nitrates are 10 ppm. The angelfish and the bala have been moved over to their new home and are loving it!

Very cool.....I have never seen a stone house like that before for an aquarium. Where did you find it?

 

[Glenc]

Very nice! Your tank is looking great! I will get those plants in the mail for you asap. Haven't been myself lately. Becketti will be great in that tank!
