130 gallon dirted tank

[Wepwawet]

Nothing interesting really test still good. I did dose both excel and liquid ferts to see if my numbers change. I figure can't hurt other than giving algae something to munch on but that's an easy fix.

Oh MTS around 10 added today for good measure

50% water change today. Found out my old way is way to slow for doing this big of a tank. Thinking maybe a pool filter pump or the like. Added a circulation pump, co2 and co2 reactor, and added 2 more plants.

The last picture if you look close for the octopus like arms that's the new plant

It looks good! So Is it just the camera making the water look cloudy? And what is that thing in the second picture of the second post???

 

[Wepwawet]

Tannins leaking from the driftwood/bad wall color/playing with the filter while hooking up the co2 reactor is all playing their own little parts of making it look bad.

As for the second picture that is a fungus common in the first week of setup.

I do use my cell for the pictures so that's not helping

Oh lol I was just wondering But everything looks really good! And yeah, the first few weeks of my 60g's life, the DW was covered in that white fungus I think mine went away naturally in two weeks tops tho

I'm thinking the MTS will enjoy the treat My L052 plecos seem to be enjoying the DW haven't touched the algae waffers

Step 1: cut to fit tank
Step 2: use double sided type to adhere to surface.
Step 3: smile and enjoy

Looks 1000% better imo

 

[simplicitysarah]

I agree!!! Looks awesome!!

The black background makes a whole lot of difference.

 

[Wepwawet]

Yea the wall color just don't look good viewed thru an aquarium

 

[TidBitz]

Wow looks awesome.

 

[Wepwawet]

Don't worry I haven't forgot about you

Added 12 Harlequin rasboras today Plants are doing good a cpl are having issues but just think I need to move my wave maker around. Trying to find the perfect spot will take a few days.

 

[DanTheGuppyMan]

Wowwww! It looks amazing! What's that colored plant lining the back wall towards the left side of the tank?

 

[Wepwawet]

I have 4 species of ludwigia and rotala colorata they are really turning red with co2 and excel and lots of light. I need to get the id tags you see in the dirt of flowers etc at a garden center

 

[DanTheGuppyMan]

Neat! They look great! What's the plant in the far right side, directly left to the driftwood in that somewhat open area, it's kind of bushy/spikey looking and green.

 

[Wepwawet]

Can you narrow it down a lil better? There's a cpl that were topped off another dying plant in a buddies tank to see if my tank can grow it healthy as he's struggling with it.

But spike/bushy sounds like blyxa
