Phish's 40g upgrade to 75g breeding Ram build

[phishfriend]

I see your Nesaea 'Golden' came emmersed growth too. I'll be curious how long it takes yours to change to immersed growth. Mine seemed to take forever, can't remember how long anymore but it was slow. It also grows slow in my tank. I'm glad I've got someone I can compare with. You'll like the yellow color it gets as it makes a great accent.

We shall see! I really like it! All the pictures I see of it look like the leaf is narrower than what I bought. I was giving the lady a hard time about it too! Lol. I told her that if it wasn't the right stuff. That I would tell a few thousand people she could tell the difference between a apple and an orange! Haha!

Check out the Neasea in this pic and see how different the leaves will change into, it's on the far right next to the sword leaves... Aquarium Advice - Aquarium Forum Community - Rivercats's Album: 220g update 12/18/12 - Picture. It also loses it's pretty pink stems once it changes.

I can live with that but I wish it wouldn't lose the stem color....

 

[phishfriend]

The 75 watt version is much smaller. I think 6 inches.

Well, I may get those! They would work better on the 75g

Unfortunely that is the first thing that changed.

Is 6" better for my tank? It's only like 2$ cheaper. I thought the bigger one would give more reflection and I'd prefer only 2. Then I don't have to spend an extra 10 bucks for only 1 light.

Nice fish and scape you have there! I am following by the way!

 

[phishfriend]

I would go with the 10's. I'm going to switch to them myself.

Thanks redsea!

 

[Sillyfishies]

The 10s?

 

[phishfriend]

I'm sry I meant 12's. I have no idea where the 10 came from.

Picked up some amazing dwarf baby tears on rocks. They were selling them for 2.29 for a 3 x 3 rock that was covered. got six. Two for the 40 and four for the 75, Also, found some really cool LED lights for under 50 buck. that work perfect for moon/mood's for the 75. They were such a great find I started a thread on then. Here is a link to it.

LED moon/mood lighting for under 50 bucks! Video!!

HC looks good... I hope you have better luck with it staying on the rocks than I did. Mine slowly pulled lose and floated away. It looks nice and healthy tho.

Maybe yours will do better since you don't have any loaches noising around in it all the time. HC just has such tiny short roots it never sticks well IMO but if you don't have any fish messing with it you stand a better chance.
