My planted tank SA style...
- Thread starter craigthor
- Start date
More pictures. The big fish will be leaving me in about an hour and be moved to my brothers tank till I can sell them. Here is the stocking list of what will be brought home today:
4 Powder Blue Gouramis
35 Platys different species
15 White Cloud Minnows
10 Cory Cats probably Pandas
Ph is 7.7 when I hooked up the meter it is to 7.6 after 1/2 hr of my CO2 on. I'm shooting for 6.6 or so for my aquarium. I may grab a couple of plants while at the store any suggestions before I leave in an hour till I get my plants in the mail.
I also removed the paint from the sides of the tank for more veiwing area. The tank has had quite the transformation in the last week and I love it more then ever, can't wait to see some plants growing now.
Special thanks to WyldFya for his help and to Rex Griggs for the great regulator and support for setting up my CO2.

I could be wrong, but I think that Mondo Grass is a terrestrial plant. If so, they won't live too long under water. Nice tank though.
