55w retro kit from ahsupply.com

The red one

I am trying to figure out the name of this plant and wondering if it can be trimmed and planted

36g bowfront started in April, 7 harlequin rasbora, 7 red eye tetra, 4 rummy nose tetra, 1 angelfish, 21 Amano shrimp

I ended up buying a DIY kit from ah-supply, it's a 55w kit with a polished reflector, came with ballast and all the stuff to retro fit a plastic light kit.

No idea of what I want, something that gets to about 4 inches or so I think, and isn't going to give the other fish a hard time.

Ya the wood has white fungus all over it, the shrimp have cleaned up about 75% of it though.

I have a 36g bowfront with quite a few plants in it, and aquaclear 50 hob, and a eheim 2215 running. The current fish in the tank are, -7 red eye tetra -7 harlequin rasbora -2 rummynose tetra -3 peppered Cory's -21 Amano shrimp Am I overstocked, do I have room to add anything else, centrepiece...

Ya its the 2215, very nice filter. For the first 6 weeks I had the tank running I had an aquaclear50 and aqueon35 HOBs and the tank water was yellow and had lots of particulate in it. Within 3 hours of turning on the eheim the water was crystal clear. I am still also running the aquaclear50 just...

Actually my wood is really leaching out alot of tannins, I put 2 100ml bags of purigen in the eheim and you can see the yellow in the water is gone.

It's a piece of mopani wood I think, it's real though. And no you are right, I put the pictures backwards by accident the pic on the left is the after,

There is actually 6 red eye tetra and 18 Amano shrimp in it right now and when the picture was taken, plan on getting some neon or cardinal Tetra and maybe some rummy nose tetra or mosquito rasp.

New to keeping fish, just got this set up and cycled. Before and after I set up my eheim 2215.
