Hey guys, I wound up getting everything I needed figured out and whatnot, so I started with the 10g! My plans are to do a low tech build for now, and work my way up the ranks to a high tech build.
So today I set the tank up. I put together my modded stock light hood for now with a 14watt CF spiral bulb, which I'm only using to test the fixture out while I'm waiting for my 40w 6500k bulbs to come. I took all my tank water from my other established tank, and then took the prefilters out and threw them in this 10g for some instant cycle action! I'm aiming for 3 WPG right now.
FTS: Waiting for the dust to clear!
I ordered a 50w Stealth Pro, AC20, the AQ Master Test kit, and a Coralife digital thermometer from Big Als, they definitely have better prices than the LFS and Big Als is right across the Canadian border, so I should have them tomorrow or Wednesday!
I have a few plants on order for m 10g and 75g tanks. Being shipped right now is my Xmas Moss, Weeping Moss and Java Ferns. I'm going to order java moss next week after I get paid along with the RCS!
Does anyone have any plant suggestions? I'm hoping for an instant cycle on this tank with the prefilters from the 75g that havent been touched for about a year now. Any comments?
I'm also looking for suggestions for a carpet plant. I'm going to pick up some slate this week and add some elevation to the rear left of the tank.
Thanks for looking!
