10G and 29G Videos
I just noticed this thread for videos, so forgive me for double posting my 29G.
First, here's my 10G planted, Celestial Pearl tank:
10G Freshwater Planted Aquarium: Celestial Pearl Danios - YouTube
I need better lighting to show off the CPDs and female bettas.
And here's...
Video of my 29g planted tank - no CO2
Is ok I post a video of my 29g planted tank?
Anyway, here goes:
29 Gal Freswater Planted Tank: Cardinal Tetras, Male Endlers, Female Bettas - YouTube
No Co2
20 Cardinal Tetras
3 male Endlers
2 female Bettas
More details on the title screen of video :)
So the next million dollar question that popped into my head is...
Compared to what I am using now, which is a Coralife CFL 10k 65 Watt, how much more light till the Ray2 and FugeRay provide compared to it?
Ok, thanks Farnaby... that makes sense. The Fugeray will sit ontop of my glasstop just...
Would I need to take away my glass top for this fixture? I think I read that in one of the AMZN user reviews.
And, not to get too sidetracked... but does anyone know if there's a big difference between the Aqueon Versa Glass tops vs. Marineland glass tops?
Thanks
Rivercats: When I purchase the dry ferts, would I still need to supply Carbon via liquid Excel?
Hmm, it's hard to ignore Finnex Ray LED lighting with more than a few recommendations I read elsewhere. My 29 gal is about 30 inches long, thus I found this on AMZN (wasn't too sure if I'm allowed...
Thank you both! :thanks:
Now I need to investigate T5HO lighting.
I'm assuming my algae growth is due to not injecting CO2, though I'm using liquid carbon via Excel. From all the reading here, it seems, some think liquid carbon is a CO2 substitute... I tend not to think it is, though liquid...
I've gone through several incarnations of my planted tank over the years, and I've found I always "slack off" because I don't keep up with the fertilizer regimen... usually I just don't want to spend the $$, so the plants slip... algae take over and I'm back to figuring it out... LOL.
Anyway...
I'll transfer in my bacteria-seasoned filter pad, either the night before or day of, when I intend to buy a betta... and maybe a couple of snails for algae, or 2 otos may be pushing it.
Thanks.
In a 10 gal, I am considering:
3-4) African Dwarf Frogs
with:
up to maybe 8) Red Cherry Shrimp, or similar species in size
and/or 3-4) Amano Shrimps
Couple of Nerite Snails
3) Otos
10 gal planted tank already with hornwort, Amazon Sword, driftwood, a little wisteria.
My concerns are with the...
If you're asking about the tank I'm getting the bacteria from... my 29 gal is already cycled and established with plants, driftwood, fish (11 cardinal tetras, 4 male endlers, 4 otos). You gave me a better idea... I'll just use one of the dirty filter pads from my 29gal, xfer it to my 3 gal...
I stuck a piece of thick filter foam (cut into a 4"x5" rectangle) into the front out-take slot of my HOB filter on my established 29 gal tank with the intentions of populating this filter foam with beneficial bacteria that I can drop on a 3 gallon tank as I just had to clean it out and it'll end...
