Jets were painted tan and covered in sand to help hide them.

The driftwood was only planted 2 days ago so nothing has rooted yet.

I look this one of the firemouth right adter I put him in so his color is a little dull.

Did you cycle the tank or use bio spira or a similar product?

 

[seamus]

Thanks all.

Bigriver: I will be adding more fish. I didn't have the room till now.

Savage: The bio media in the FX5 is Eheim Substrate Pro which had been in my other tank. I also used Bio-Spira for good measure.
