Low-Tech 10g Planted Build

[Aquarium1]

well a dollar, and then I bought from dk and it took a % of that and she paid me back so I could buy the fish, and it took another % out of that lol.

If she refunded your money, I don't think it would have taken it back out (if that was an option), but if she sent it as a new order, I think they take out like 5%+$.30 or something like that.

 

[Aquarium1]

She didn't really refund, she just payed me back lol.

 

[Aquarium1]

Still have plenty of ostracods, maybe the CPDs will like em lol. Got a little work to do today. Gonna try to trim the Ludwigia and Rotala, then I'll pluck some of the hair algae. It's starting to get a little annoying lol.

 

[logansmomma1228]

Lol, tomorrow they will be there! Yay

 

[Aquarium1]

Apparently, the bottom leaves haven't really grown out that much, so it kinda looks ugly right now haha. I moved the trimmings over to the other 10g. USPS still hasn't updated my CPD shipment

 

[logansmomma1228]

awww.... i got an email saying, your package is on its way! YAY

 

[Aquarium1]

Picture Time

Crypts, which are coloring nicely

Ludwigia growth, the one I didn't trim

Marselia

Rotala

The ludwigia doesn't look so good after trimming so you're gonna have to wait a while for an FTS lol

 

[logansmomma1228]

Lookin good! Can't wait for that moss

 

[Aquarium1]

Today's the day Got up early so I can do pwcs before the mail gets here.

 

[mommytron]

yay!

 

[Aquarium1]

We have fishies I'm floating them now. Although I'm still not sure whether to dump or to drip, I know sm said in her experience, I should dump so...

 

[mommytron]

score!!!!!!!! pics? lol

 

[Aquarium1]

gotta wait til I acclimate them , however I acclimate them lol.

 

[Aquarium1]

I think I'll try the float and dump method with one bag, since thats what sm recommended, see how they do, and then decide whether or not to do the other.
Wish me luck

 

[mommytron]

luck!!!!!!!

 

[Aquarium1]

The first 6 are in there, one of the males seemed to just float on his back to the bottom but he's still alive, so idk if it was just him or if it was the acclimation

 

[Aquarium1]

Ok, he's swimming a little bit, still at the bottom tho.

 

[logansmomma1228]

Aw I hope he is ok! Super excited for pics!!!!

 

[Aquarium1]

Ok, he seems to be swimming a little more now. Most of them have all went by the tree except for the one, but hopefully, he'll find them soon lol. I'll let them settle in a little while before I turn on the lights and take some pics.
