Well, the tank has been cycled for a couple of weeks now. Near the end of the cycle I added 4 more White Clouds to make 8 total. 5 Red Eye Tetras were added. They nipped the tails of the White Clouds, so they were returned the next day. In return for the Red Eyes, I got 5 Skunk Corys. After about a week, they started dying one each day-never found out why. Checked Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and they looked fine until death. 2 of them remain-hope they survive. Next week I may get 3 or 4 Albino Corys.
Here's the most densly planted tank I've ever had-lots of plastic plants and plastic "rock" cave.
The White Clouds go to this side when I'm in the room-probably because they're fed on this side.
The 2 Skunk Corys that remain can be seen here.
On the right side is the AC 50. On the left is the AC 20 power head with quick filter attachment. I put some Aqua Clear Biomax balls in it for more biological filtration. In the middle is a $10 Aqua Tech 5-15 that will be used to seed a 5.5 gal live plant/White Cloud project. The light is a Coralife I ordered from AquariumGuys.com. It's very small-1 inch tall and 3 inches wide. I like the size if it. It has a T5 Colormax bulb.
And here some closeups.
