I FINALLY have it planted to where I'm (mostly) happy. Still want foreground plant (dwarf clover or tears?). I am going to move the micro sword, but I wanted to make sure it would live after treating it with alum then peroxide. The plants have a lot of growing to do still to look right.
Finally got lighting I'm happy with: ray2 (for plants) and current led+ for full spectrum. LOVE them together. Plants happy, plenty of light and it looks so nice with the super low profile. Didn't like the t5ho fixtures. Replacing the hobs with xp3 to complete the clean look at the top. Liquid co2, but getting pressurized with inline reactor (NOT in to DIY - with babysitter costs, I would not end up saving anyway). Also got black wrapping paper that I am going to try to use as a background with double sided tape hidden by the rim and seals. We shall see!
My stock:
2 female platies
5 false julii cories
3 male endlers (they get along well -took one out since he was a bully)
2 mysteries
3 horned nerites
Want:
6-10 harlequin rasbora (a few of them will be purple)
7-8 fork tail furcata rainbowfish
8-10 galaxy rasbora/celestial pearl danio
1 dwarf gourami
Does that sound ok? Water is liquid rock (well) and tetras have not been happy, so not interested in trying with tetras anymore.
