Yes it is blyxa in the first pic. You are right, eventually when things grow in they will have plenty of cover. I did add some rock anyway and am liking the look. Kind of finishes off the sand under the tree. I doubt the micro sword will grow in the shade so it should be bare under the dw...

Thanks! Its definitely not cabomba. I think it might be giant hygrophila but not 100% sure. This tank is running co2, pps pro, excel, and medium light with dirt sub. In my nano low tech it grew a max of 2-3 inches with rather high light for the tank. Im thinking about adding some more black...

I will add some close up pics later tonite. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

No jungle val. Not sure of all the names but large leaf neon green stem plant in back left corner, with blxa as midground, narrow leaf ludwigia in back middle, and some other midground plant in front of the crypts. I have had great success with the micro swords carpeting in a non co2 nano tank...

Thanks man. Excited for it to grow in. Ive got narrow leaf micro sword in for the carpet, fissidens fontanus on the outer most edges of the dw, anubias nana in the middle and java ferns tied onto the back. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Heres an update guys! Finally got down to tearing it down and rescaping. Should look good when it grows in. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Yeah i liked the looks of the red a lot better but read that it will just rot off in the tank. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

It is manzanita wood. Its not cheap but well worth it. A lot of people sell it online Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So my wood came in a week or two ago and I have finally found the time to lay it out. So the cardboard is the same dimensions as the tank. Gonna go with fissidens fontanus moss on the tips of the wood, anubias nana in thr middle, and java fern at the base. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium...

I did turn the co2 up a bit to 2-3 bps. Pretty pumped for the driftwood to come in. Even better is that I just got a 30% off all fish and live plants coupon in the mail from That Fish Place which is a 20 min drive from my house. Broke out the quarantine/spare 20 gallon today.

Okay thanks. I actually ordered a drop checker last night and some 4dkh solution. I have a lot of extra ph test kits here so im thinking that i can use that for the solution since it should be the bromothyl blue that comes with most kits (The dc i got on ebay came with no liquids). Still...

Also thought I would add that the diffuser it came with is a small ceramic disc encased in rubber that suction cups onto the tank. I have it right under the intake to my fluval 405.

Here again with another update! All the co2 stuff came in and is setup. Watched a few videos on youtube for the setup still need to dial in bubbles per second, and how long I should run my lights. I have the co2 running at less than 1 bubble per second right now and lights running 3 hours on...

Quick Update guys! I ordered the aquatek regulator from ebay with paintball adaptor, co2 lines, and diffuser for just over $70 shipped and ordered a 24 oz paintball tank from ebay for $25. Now all I need to do is shop for some new hardscape materials! Will update when I get hardscape stuff...

Oh haha. Maybe I will just buy new then and avoid the hassle Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Okay thanks guys. Im gonna go with that then and buy a couple used paintball tanks on cl. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Okay so looks like a 5 lb tank is gonna cost me around $50 which isnt that big of a deal. Is it worth the extra money for the big tank or would paintball tanks be a cheaper/more convenient route to take? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Basic Aquatek CO2 Regulator with Integrated Solenoid R 76 | eBay What do you guys think about this? I can go with buy it now option and get it for $75 plus 5% back through ebates. Guy says its been used for 3 months and comes with paintball adaptor, diffuser, and tubing? Is it worth the few...

Okay so looks like im either going to go with an aquatek or milwaukee regulator. Is there any specific model/size etc. i should look for? Seems to me like the milwaukee and aquatek are essentially the same thing so I guess I will go with whatevers cheapest. So with the regulator looks like im...

The lighting? I wouldn't mind trying my hand at some higher light plants. For example the lighting I have now wouldnt grow a lot of stem plants such as ludwigia and other one like it. The plants would only get leaves in the upper portion of the stems, lower leaves would die off because the...

Thanks for the responses guys. Gonna do a bit more research on co2 kits like you suggested. Ive read a little bit about ph controllers but dont really know anything about them. Seems like one would make the system a bit more automated which for me would be perfect. Could someone enlighten me on...

Hey guys, Its been a pretty long time since i've been on here. I have majorly downsized my tanks and setups as over the summer I have been busy with work and sports. So I no longer have my 200 gallon garage setup, 10 gallon, and 4 gallon cube (long story, had slow leak and caused a lot of...
