Aquarium Advice Addict
Hello everyone! As you may know, I have a FW 60g planted angelfish aquarium. Along with that, I have a 5.5 gallon FW invert tank. I had a 10g FW community tank but i got rid of that as well as my 8g SW nano tank. So, I was planning on re-doing my 5.5 gallon, and I knew I wanted a rimless tank. This is when I stumbled on Brain_Nano12g's "GLA 6g rimless..." thread, and I immediately knew that's what I wanted. So I went on GLA and got me a 6g 36-L rimless tank like his and some CO2 equipment. I also got some Eco-Complete and I plan to cap that with ADA's Amazonia Powder Type AquaSoil if I can ever find it I also plan to use some biomax and other filter media from my established 60g canister and use it in the new filter so I wont need to do a long cycle. So, now that you have the background info, here is my plan.
Setup
Tank:
GLA 6g rimless 36-L glass tank (15x9x11in.)
Lighting:
Finnex Ray 2 LED
CO2 plan:
Use a manifold to split my 5lb. CO2 tank running my 60g
Filter:
Fluval 106
Heater:
Hydor 25 watt Theo
Substrate:
Eco-Complete possibly w/ an AS Amazonia Powder cap and white sand
Planned Scape:
Seiryu Stone or Ohko Stone with a hill on each adjacent side of the tank, a white sand "river" through the middle valley. Small peice of driftwood, going for the look of a "tree."
Planned Flora:
HC to make a carpet
Blyxa Japonia
Blyxa Auberti or Cyperus Helferi
Lilaeopsis Mauritiana (Possibly)
Planned fauna:
I am going for another shrimp tank, plan to have some CRS if not some RCS. Maybe a few Harlequin Tetras.
Fertilizers:
Along with pressurized CO2, I plan to dose PPS-Pro along with some root tabs regularly.
So that is my plan, the tank comes tomorrow, Monday, January 7th 2013. Ahhh I'm still writing 2012.
The tank comes Monday, Eco-Complete has already arrived, Finnex Ray 2 should be coming this week, Fluval 106 comes Monday along with all the filter media, have not ordered rock or driftwood yet so that is next on my list, and then plants and shrimp/fish!
What type of stone do you suggest I get?
