Sorry i haven't updated for awhile! I have added the barbs. I have 15 total a mix of standard tigers, albinos, regular green, and moss green. I also got an tiny baby convict because they were so tiny! I know he'll grow but i figure if he starts life in the tank smaller then the barbs they'll...

That sounds like a thumbs down lol. I don't know if I'm digging it yet. I definitely didn't like the heater cord being so visible but not sure of a better solution. I'm going to try and tame it down but going to let it settle a few days first before playing with it again.

Plants are in! I can't wait for them to start growing they look a little scraggly compared to the plants in my other tanks. The anacharis around the cords was harvested from my ten gallon it was getting to be a jungle in there. I'm going to let it settle in then try and neaten it up once i...

Thanks! Can't wait to see pictures of what all you guys are doing!

Thank you so much! I'm pretty proud of this one. Tomorrow I'll be finishing the planting, its just going to be easy plants, a bunch of crypts, couple java ferns, couple Amazon swords, an Anubis, and enough anachris to hide the heater cord and blend the air line. I'll get the pictures up as...

Thank you so much for saying that cuz its what i was going for!

Thank you and yes! directed a flash light beam from the front to light the inside, this is the view from the side of the tank: The picture came out sideways but you get the idea :-)

Hard scape finally complete!

Background movement. I am going to plant crypts in front of it and keep the flow of bubbles low. Something to blur the backdrop to create the illusion of depth as though there is cave beyond it. If it looks too fake once the scaping is complete its gone. It sounds good in my head, we'll see...

Added equipment. I'm going to do a second filter when its fish time but just the main filter for now, cartridges will be seeded from my 36 gallon tank. The bubbly wall has the air hose that looks like a plant, going to use anachris around it to hide it more and the slate will hide the heater...

Thought about it, but i want to be able to rearrange if i need to in case of aggression. As it is, its very stable, i kept playing until i got the pieces interlocked like a puzzle. also score one for photos so i can refer to it to put the puzzle back together after cleaning, lol.

Thanks! Make sure you start a photo log of yours too! Even though i haven't come very far yet i like being able too see the progression.

This is what i came up with for the right side of the tank using lace rock, sponge rock and Mexican river rocks. Hopefully i can make it with the same structural integrity when i put it in the tank! Still have some rock boiling to do. This is from the side, this piece is going...

I'm up by Cleveland. Think you're too far south for me to transport fish.

Which region of Ohio are you?
