Sick tank

 

[floridaman]

Thank you.. still a work in progress.. I'll post weekly pictures as it grows

Once that dwarf sag gets going you will have a thick carpet. Let's hope it stays short. I've had both short and tall dwarf sag growing in the same tank (from different vendors).
The moss on DW is nice feature.
What kind of canister are you running in there?

Thank you all.. the sag should stay low with my co2 it we will see.. I'll trim it if anything

@fresh2o I'm running a sunsun 303b .. thinking of getting a 304 though .. this is 370gph the 304 is 525.. more filter and circulation

 

[Fresh2o]

I'm running a SunSun 302b (265 gph) in a 20 long. I removed the spraybar and just use the short elbow. I felt it produced greater flow than the spraybar. Circulation is decent and the fish are not being "pushed around".
The output is on the left rear corner and is directed to the right side of the tank (a few inches below the surface). The intake is about 2" to the right of the output. I'm using a CO2 atomizer and I've affixed it in the path of the output. The result is a mist of very fine bubbles. This is at a rate of 2-3 bps.

 

[floridaman]

Yea I have my diffuser at the bottom under my spray bar .. about 2 bps roughly .. I'm still adjusting it to try and get my kh where I want it to be

 

[Ellis98]

What is that in the front? The ones you have "carpeted" across the bottom. I really like them!

 

[floridaman]

That's dwarf saggitaria .. and I have micro swords in between 2 pieces of drift wood I believe I'm going to move to the left front corner
