Looks nice. I saw one or two of my rocks lol.

 

[mfdrookie516]

found some more lol... the acei kept hiding by the filter or under rocks, im hoping theyre just kind of intimidated and not sick. i guess only time will tell... and aq1, how did you only see a couple? almost every rock in there came from you lol

 

[Aquarium1]

really? o now I see them. They look a lot lighter than the ones in my tank, mine are really dark brown but maybe that was just how I unkowingly picked em out lol.

here are a few pics of the tank... right now im battling columnaris, but the fish are showing some signs of improvement, and ive only lost one of my fish (aside from the 3 acei that died right after i got them) since getting the bug... I did my daily 50% pwc today and decided to rearrange the rockwork and do a good cleaning of the tank... Here they are. The pics may look a little grainy and the water looks a little cloudy, but thats just the microbubbles from the pwc... i took them with my iphone too, so theyre not the best in the world

and some more... ill try and get better pictures up later or tomorrow

[mfdrookie516]

looks great making wish my tank was bigger, love the rock scaping kinda reminds me of mine, still looks pretty emepty fish wise

 

[mfdrookie516]

well, i plan on getting more rock one of these days... as far as fish are concerned, im somewhat scared to get anymore after what the acei did to my tank. I may end up using that 55g i was gonna set up as a tang tank as more of a qt/grow out tank for new arrivals... who knows

Im new to the boards so i dont know how much my opinion counts but ive literally sat here for the past 45 min and viewed your whole thread...great job man!!! I have to say i like the newest photos best. I myself am more of a plant oriented guy but i really dig the rock set up. How long if at all did you cure your rocks and pots?

 

[mfdrookie516]

Thanks As you can see, i started a complete noob, now im just a weathered noob lol. I tried plants and my fish tore them to shreds, so that is a no-go in my tank... thats why i have two 10g's that are planted... As for the rocks, i got them from Aquarium1 who is a member here as well. He got them from the creek behind his house. I took a wire brush and water hose to them and stuck them in the tank. Looking back, i probably should have soaked them for a day or two first, but ive had no ill effects from them. The pots i got from walmart and broke in half. No need to cure them, just rinse and theyre done.
