So I was talking earlier how there is no places around me for plants or ferts or ANYTHING really, well i was checking craigslist and apparently there is a aquatic society around me and they were having an auction in two days!! (That was two days ago, I will tell you everything)
So I got my MTS today from a member of the forums THANKS A TON BY THE WAY. Well they arn't really moving yet, because I just added them but excited to see them one night!
So today! The auction, my first ever! Well I ended up spending around 60-80 bucks and man what a load I got! I dont remember half the plants, but I will tell you what else I got. I got a 10g tank and hood for 10 bucks! I know I know I could of probably bought it cheaper, but it was the first item I bidded on and was excited! Well that was the first thing I got, so I decided that I am going to make it my QT tank since I do not have one yet, I already have a filter, now I just need another small heater.
So I also got two other bottles of stuff, I got a bottle of leaf zone, I got the leaf zone for I think 5 bucks, pretty big bottle and since they didnt seem to be selling the other ferts, I just got this. I also got a big bottle of what seems to be a CO2 supplement, I do not know exactly how it works, but once I get home I will get some pictures etc.
The plant setup in the post above is not how the plants are gonna look when I am done rearranging and aquascaping. I just had to leave in a hurry so I just wanted to plant them, put in my liquid CO2 and ferts and see how things seemed tomorrow.
I got some crazy good deals on some plants, I mean insanely awesome. I got what I think is abuot 5-8 java ferns for about 4 bucks.. which at least I thought was a good deal, 50 cents a plant is amazing, AND they are pretty big. I also got some other plants prices ranging between 2-10 bucks. The 10 bucker was a crazy amount of plants. If you can see it floating in the top right, I didnt have time to plant them all because they were all clustered so I just let them float, and I really wanted them.
I forget what most of the plants are, but I love them. It was funny, I was on my phone while he was auctioning off reading up on some of the plants. Now some might not survive (thinking some of the red leaved ones) because I am sure they are high light, but hey, why not give it a try.
I also got 5 platys for pretty cheap which are very nice.
Im sure I am forgetting a bunch of things that happened today but basically I got some liquid ferts and CO2 and I hope they work well. And I am SOO excited for my MTS finally arriving!
Anyway, off to enjoy the rest of the night thanks for reading! I will update pictures once I rescape! Any ideas for scaping let me know!
