Hey Guys,
Have been excited about building and scaping my second tank. First tank is doing really well, simple 12 gallon tank stocked with Tiger Barbs, Dwarf Corycatfish and Shrimps (not the small ones), Also thought it would be cool to record and share the start and progress of this tank =)
So while waiting for my plants to arrive, i began scaping out the new 25 gallon, after which i filled it up and let it cycle for about a week. Today some of my plants arrived early, or the guy had stock so i went and got them and began planting the tank. Took out the cycled water, and planted what i had, then filled the tank added some water from my other tank and stocked it with some stock that i had already got for this tank.
Looking forward to going back tomorrow and finishing off the planting, then stocking it in a few weeks! =D
Whats in this tank as of 08/01/14 (includes shipment of 09/01/014)
x2 Drift Wood
Lexia grass (local name )
Brown Grandue plant
Java Moss balls
Flame Moss
3 plant species which i dont remember the name of right now, will add them later
Cardinal - XL
Farlowella acus (apparently a dwafted species, was wary in getting it, but i plan to get a 60+ gallon in a few months so if it gets bigger then what i was told will move it )
Red Cherry Srhimps
I will post progress pictures of the tank as i go along with plant and stock updates =)
Setup 08/01/14
Ignore the current light and mess, its temporary till my orders arrive tomorrow =)
