Start of a long relationship (planted tank journal)

[fort384]

Lol.

I doubt it would be cheaper...

 

[Crepe]

14 bucks off amazon. heh. Sorry I just love being evil.

 

[fort384]

Uh oh... That's pretty cheap...

 

[Joyler]

Hahahaha!! You guys are mean!

Ok, picked up some jugs today. Hope they work, I think they will. They are 32 cup capacity, which google says is approximately 7.5 liters. I'll mark a dedicated fill line on each one so that I get consistency. Think they'll work? They were 2 for $5, so if they don't, I'm sure my wife can find a use for them in the kitchen.

 

[fort384]

Looks good to me!

 

[mfdrookie516]

Some random shots from today... some showcasing my vast inventory of BBA and hair algae...

 

[mfdrookie516]

And some more...

 

[mfdrookie516]

And some more...

And by the way... if it is not clear by now, my camera is severely lacking in the ability to take a half way decent up close shot. The macro setting on this thing is horrible. One of these days, I hope to take some half way decent looking pictures.

Love the pics. Your tank looks great.

 

[RamCichlidLover]

Wow! Nice tank!

 

[Joyler]

Wow...I'm in serious tank envy...I mean SERIOUS tank envy! Looks so good

 

[fort384]

Wow, it is really looking great! Your RCS looked redder than mine, which is weird

 

[mfdrookie516]

Haha, thanks guys. If only it looked as nice as you all made it sound!

Fort, those RCS are BRIGHT red. Well, at least half of them are. There are still several that look like ghost/rcs hybrids, they just have a touch of red in the middle and are clear everywhere else. They're also a little over an inch long now.

 

[fort384]

Probably the difference between male/female is part of what you are observing.

 

[itsgracia]

Beautiful tank. I'm having tank envy too!

 

[Aspencer]

Very nice!

 

[meegosh]

Looking good man! I feel for you with the BBA. I had it a while ago and hated every minute of it.

 

[daileene]
