Starting New Tank: The Candy Bin

[LemurLad]

Definitely liquid. I honestly just got the API Ammonia and pH tests. Couldn't find Nitrate/ite in a separate package. I'll just run a water sample down to Petsmart sometime this weekend. Been busy busy busy with school lately. Quarter's nearing it's close and my classes are shoveling on the work. >.<

Some updates now that the tank is cycled!

Flora:
Planted Rotala a little while ago.
Added clover today.
Got a nice piece of driftwood for the tank.
Little bit of algae inside, thinking about getting an Otto in to clean it. Or I could just scrape it off.

Fauna:
Had a couple white clouds in the tank, one jumped ship unfortunately. :/
Moved some zebra danios from my 10Gal into it. They'll be there temporarily until I move them to a koi pond.
Have hundreds of snails to feed the puffer fish.

Leakage:
Still none!

And here it is for your viewing pleasure! (sans puffers and driftwood) There were a few bubbles at the surface the other day and it created that very neat pattern, heh.

Well, now that it's planted and just about done, I'll start a thread over in Planted tanks. The driftwood looks AMAZING.
