Here's some updated tank pics. I've added 9 neons and 6 guppies(2m, 4f). Total stock: 9 neons, 6 guppies, 3 whisker shrimp, 3 otos, 3 apple snails, and a juvenile platy.

Here's a pic of the two onion bulbs. I think they've been in there for three weeks. But it took like 2 weeks before they showed anything.

I bought that assorted pack also. Only the onion bulbs sprouted, and are growing fast. The other bulbs started to get fuzzy but never sprouted. I took them out and felt them. They were all squishy and smelled horrible! I tossed them away.

I ordered some HC a few weeks ago and had the same problem. It was difficult to remove from the pot and wouldn't stay planted in the sand. They wouldn't root and started dying. I just gave up on it two days ago and pulled them all up. I'm thinking of trying some glosso instead. Here's a pic...

This is an anubias nana that I've had for awhile but just replanted to a more appealing position. It has tons of white roots, that I buried into the 50/50 Floramax and black sand substrate. Is this rhizome exposed adequately? Don't tell me ALL of the roots have to be exposed, do they?! :( I...

thanks for the nice comments! Here's a pic I took today...

Here's my blue snail nomming on something. Taken with Samsung Admire phone

The red myrio are the ones in back.

Myrio, Red (Myriophyllum heterophyllum) I got a few bunches of this plant and they are beautiful; long thin leaves, varying colors, fast growth. I love them.

mostly, it's bacopa australis. There's anubias nana and red myrio in there as well.

Lol, yeah, I'm a Futurama fan.

Thank you, it's my first planted tank. I have a chair positioned right in front of it and sit there forever, awesome time.

50/50 Floramax and black sandblasting sand, with a handful of some normal sized black gravel sprinkled on top.

heres the tank, lots of bacopa and anubias.

I have a three week cycled planted tank with 3 apple snails, a platy fry, and two small oto's. I'm starting to see some algae and love watching the otos do their thing. If I don't get any other fish, how many more otos could I get? Marineland 350 2x39watt T5HO

can you post a pic of the wisteria in your tank?

I have some wisteria, but it hasn't grown enough to trim yet. Where along the stalk did you cut it? Did you pull off any leaves before planting the new stalk?

Yeah, this list doesn't have the abbreviations used for different fish or plants...like... RCS-Red Cherry Shrimp GKF-Ghost Knife Fish HC-Hemianthus Callitrichoides(baby dwarf tears) Those are all I can think of right now, anyone care to expand this?

heres the egg crate in the tank.. I had to trim it to size, I just used wire cutters, worked great. I placed the driftwood on top of the egg crate, placed it where I wanted it, used a Sharpie to outline the base on the egg crate, removed the egg crate and driftwood, then used thread going under...

I'm looking to get some RCS soon. I hope you keep this thread going with updates, and pics maybe? These first 8 posts were informative, awesome. Thank you

I got a sheet of egg crate from Home Depot and cut it to shape. I also anchored my driftwood to it.

Once the shot glass fills with co2, will it slowly dissolve into the water?
