Planted Breeder Tank Log.... Pics 9/28/06 - Aquarium Advice

Lonewolfblue · 09-10-2006, 09:22 PM

Well, I decided to move 3 fish to my 10G planted with my Wisteria and other plants. I figure since the uptake is so high, I wouldn't see any spikes with 2 fish in the tank ultimately. I moved 1 baby female to the 10G, as well as a pair that was in the 75G. Right off the bat the pair started chasing the smaller female all over the tank. So I removed her and moved her to the 75G to possibly pair up with one of my other males in there. If she does, then I'll move them to the other planted 10G tank once I get it all planted out. Should be getting my new plants from Aquabid this week, as well as some from a member in this forum. So far so good. Here's a few pics of the first tank....

All I've done to this tank is dose nitrogen, phosphate, potassium, and traces. No CO2 and for lighting, 2 screw-in 20W bulbs.

Tank looks great! What is that green foreground plant? Love the look of it. Good luck on your latest adventure

I'm not sure, but I think it's Elatine Triandra. I think I got it from Purrbox.

Spot on. It is indeed Elatine Triandra.

Lonewolfblue · 09-10-2006, 10:18 PM

So how is it looking? I think it's filling in awsome.......

Jchillin · 09-10-2006, 10:38 PM

Nice...looks like the perfect "softwater" planted tank. Great for raising baby rams and apistos.

Lonewolfblue · 09-10-2006, 11:09 PM

Yup, and not super high light either, probably lower to middle medium light.

kh 60
gh 60
ph 7.4

Wish I could get the CO2 working, lol.
