I built a DIY hood for my 10G.... basically a plywood box with a acrylic bottom... pretty simple, and cheap since I had to buy was the acrylic. For the fixtures I purchesed the 2x13W bright kit from AHsupply.com It has served me well; but I wish I got the deluxe kit with effecient reflectors...

Yea, decomposing fish will release alot of ammonia into the tank; probably more then your existing cycle bacteria can handle. Wouldn't be surprised if that was your issue.

Is a 10G enough space for 1 male and 2 females? The Cichlid forums 'cookie cutter' suggests a M/F pair and a few white clouds or zebra danios. Are they using these as dither fish? Are apisto's shy enough to warrant dithers? Another question, most sources seem to suggest a sand substrate for...

It's usually a 'natural' sand color. Like a tan. It's very inexpensive too. I had some in my planted tank and it worked out pretty well.

Thanks for the tips everyone, I was thinking cacatuoides, as these are attractive and the most common, so they will more easy to find when I set up my tank. I've seen some nice specimens of agassizii as well. I'm open to suggestion though.

Nice tank! The Blyxa japonica in the mid-ground gives the tank alot of depth.

Everything spoken for. Enjoy everyone!

I've got enough plants for another small package of the above if anyone else is interested. $5 shipped. I also have some random aquarium chemicals I don't need anymore, I'll give these away for shipping if anyone wants them. I've got an almost full 8oz bottle of Leaf Zone fertilizer An...

Hello all, I'll be tearing my tank down for a move on wednesday, and will be thinning out my plants in the process. I have enough of the following for one fairly hefty package: Dwarf sag R. rotundifolia Bocapa australis Echinodorus latifolius As I rip the tank down, I may find I have more...

All the work is starting to pay off! Nice work czcz; There's something like this floating around in my head as well... someday :-)
