I had a 55g test tank to see what plants I liked. Now I'm setting up the 90g and planting it. Currently doing the switch. I posted a the dates of some pics so you can see the difference in growth rates.
55g
130W Coralife PC
Red sea CO2 system
Pea gravel substrate
Various plants over time
Fish: 2 Angels, 2 GBRs, 5 ottos, common pleco, vampire shrimp, 30 cherry shrimp, 5 amano shrimp, 2 red dwarf gouramis, 5 zebras(the starter fish).
90g
130W Coralife PC(6,700), 54W T5HO Hagen(6,700)
Flourite Regular(7 bags)
Fish: same
Red sea CO2 system (use a Rhinox 5000 now, find it much more efficient)
Plants: limnophila aromatica, samolus valerandi, anubias barteri,Alternanthera reineckii 'Pink', Marimo ball, Hygrophilla polysperma, Nesaea crassicaulis
1: Dec 15, no CO2 or ferts. Slow growth.
2: Dec 31, added CO2, excel dosing. Moderate growth.
3: Jan 16, CO2 and Dry ferts. Fast growth.
4: Jan 22. Can see the results of it starting to be balanced. Trimmed it weekly because it grew so fast.
