Planted 20 long - Aquarium Advice

JustOneMore20 · 01-28-2008, 11:10 AM

My 10g project has moved to a 20g long tank to give my Celestial Danios and shrimp more room to run (or swim).

I made the switch this past Friday and wanted to share some pics of the new setup.

The setup is:
20g long tank
55w AH Supply kit with 7800K bulb
pressurized co2 via glass diffuser
Aquasoil I and Aquasoil II substrate (about 6 liters of each-ASI was the old, ASII is the new)
manzanita driftwood
EI fertilization

plants are:
Rotala rotundifolia
Ludwigia arcuata
Rotala wallichi
Flame moss
HM
Anubias nana 'petite'

Inhabitants:
8 Celestial Pearl Danios
11 Red Cherry Shrimp (for now)
5 Amano shrimp

still a tad cloudy and not the best pic :/

RCS

I have plans for the foreground (HC) and am getting more RCS sometime this week.

More pics to come!

Looks great so far - a good mix of colors!

I agree. The colors contrast quite nicely in the tank.

I wish I could get some RCS. My lfs is like always out of them and never get anymore forever! Your new project looks awesome though.

It looks awesome! I love the scaping.

I know this is an older thread, but I do like it and am thinking about doing the switch from a 10G to a 20G long myself.

The pics look nice so do the RCS. I just got myself some today and they are nice.

Thanks for the comments.

Since the thread was resurrected and I failed to update, here is a recent full tank pic:

I pretty much leave it jungle like for the shrimp and CPDs. They like it that way.

And some Cherry pics:

Again great pics!! How many RCS do you think are in the tank?

Have you had any issues with Ferts and the shrimp?

**Zagz** · 06-28-2008, 10:52 PM

Wow that is some great growth! The RCS are very healthy looking!
