Can't wait to see it when setup is finished.

It's been a few years since I've done a dirted tank so I was itching lol

Majoriry of Plants will be here tommorow so I'll def post pics tommorow night

Hoping this grows in nicely. Since the tank was reef ready and I didn't need a sump for a tank like this not to mention the petco $1 per gallon sale was going on I decided to add a 55 last night into the system. Have no idea on stock yet but the water temp in the system will be around 75-76 for the fish in the 45 so whatever stock I decide will have to be in that range....

Any ideas on stock for the 55?

Everythings finished except for the fish.... now to wait and watch it grow

Looks great, I really like that setup!

I love it! Very bright lights though I must say, growing a storm there?

It's is a little bright lol.... I have a finnex 24/7 on the 45 and its raised to about 13-14 inches from substrate.

The 55 has a USA satellite plus. I didnt really scape or dirt the 55 as I was just gonna randomly see how it grows out with trimmings and root tabs

Still don't know what the stock will be for the 55

3 week update. Added the manzanita and took a few seriyu stones out... everything is growing in nicely.... had some algae issues, which i figured would happen with the 24/7 finnex at 13 inch height with no co2 so I moved it higher to 18 inches. Added the clean up crew about a week ago and they have been doing a good job. I have slightly changed stock. The fish will be here tommorow and I'll add more pics with them

4 snails
6 amano shrimp
25 ghost shrimp

30 neon tetras
15 black neon tetras
12 diamond tetras
1 bolivian ram
