10 Gallon Photo Log
Well I finally got the 10 Gallon Tank set up that I've been planning for a while now.
Tank: Standard 10 Gallon 20"x10"x12" CO2: 2x1 Liter DIY CO2 w/ DIY Inline CO2 Reactor powered by a ViaAqua 180 Water Pump Lighting: Current Satellite 2x40 Watt w/ Moonlight (1 Dual Daylight and 1 50/50) Substrate: 30% Onyx and 70% Turface MVP Heating: 50 Watt Visitherm Stealth Heater Plants: Rotala Rotundifolia, Rotala Rotundifolia "Colorata", Cryptocorne Willisii (questionable ID), Cryptocoryne Wendtii, Cryptocoryne Lucens, Elatine Triandra Should be receiving some moss soon which I plan to tie to the driftwood. Once the plants fill in and I'm sure that the tank is stable, I plan to add some Red Cherry Shrimp.

It's going to look great once it's all grown in. Good job...

*squirms excitedly* I agree with lwb, that is going to look awesome once it starts to grow in more. You definately have to keep us updated on growth. So how many pieces of driftwood are being used? It looks like 2-3 big pieces and a smaller once in front, but I can't tell for sure.

There are three large pieces of driftwood. There are two leaning against eachother in the back left and the third is the arching piece on the right.

Nice shape and depth with the driftwood
The moss will help set it off even more. Some Light stones might look nice to counteract.

Well the tank has hit the two week mark and has developed Diatoms right on schedule along with a few other types of algae to make things interesting. I'm just letting the plants grow and fill in for now. I won't worry about whipping it into an aquascape until things have settled down and reached a nice balance. As a result the Elatine Triandra looks a lot more like a stem plant than a ground cover at the moment.
