Haha well I'm sure the space will appreciated

But don't forget the pics!

Or I will find you and come see the tank in person lol

 

[Shane l]

Lol if u can make it to south Africa then sure I got a pic of my 10 g with all the stuff il be moving to my 20g and theres a lot of tannens from my dw

Sorry my grammar is shocking

 

[Scouser]

I like the plants in the tank.

Gives a nice scale with the large stems, kinda like a forest canopy.

And don't put it past me to go to SA, I'm in need of a holiday lol

 

[Shane l]

If u ever come down there's a great fish store down here at a place called lifestyles.

That plant is a amazon sword and there's a lil one underneath it that is growing in that shade so he will be so happy in the new tabk far a way from his dad

And my black w tetras love the cover for
The sword they never leave that corner but shame the 2 pick on the one and he's become pretty stressed but I'm sure in a new tank twice the size with a few pals they will all get along

Oh and I'm so glad I got payed double at work today so more stuff for the tank

 

[Scouser]

Double pay is always a nice thing!

And once I get myself working again I may have to pop down.

All my friends have been to places there and love it, one even stayed lol!

 

[Shane l]

Awesome it's really great here with all the life. I'm only 16 ( we can legally work here that age ) and I had to pay for all my tanks and fish and my carnivorous plants.

Lol it's 12 here pm

 

[Shane l]

The tank is here with with everything
Got my gourami
It also has 20 pounds of sand and a hood

 

[Shane l]

All done but it's the wrong light I need a white light or is Pinckney fine for plants

 

[Scouser]

I don't know if that light is ok.

But it looks great so far!

 

[Shane l]

Thanks il ask in the plant section then

 

[meegosh]

You'll want a bulb in the 6500-10000k range for plants to thrive.

 

[Shane l]

It's not in kelvin it's in watts but the box says grows plants

 

[Shane l]

I was also thinking of getting 4 bronze Cory cats good or bad idea ? And I'm having problems feeding my 1 because all the other fish eat the food before they get to him

 

[meegosh]

The bulb itself may have a marking on it. 6500K is more of a yellow (full spectrum/daylight) and 10000k is getting more blue. Yours is at the other end (reds) of the spectrum.

 

[Shane l]

Ok great I will check now

 

[Shane l]

That's all

I put in my 3 black widow tetras (the filter is seeded and all the stuff from my established tank is in there ) just so that the bb's have a food source and that they don't die

Get some bigger sinking pellets for the corys. Something to big for the other to get in there mouths.
