Relax. It was very successful. The water was still pretty cloudy around 5pm then I went to my friends family bbq. I'll take pics tomorrow. I came home to my moonlights being on and it seems to have cleared up a bit.
Did you wash it first?
I did, but not as well as I should have. I came home from breakfast this morning to find my 3D background had lost its silicone bond to the back of the tank and ripped off. not sure if it wore over time or if my redtail had something to do with it. I'm assuming one bead came undone then the weight of the rushing water cracked the rest of it off the existing beads. So the background was pushing against the front glass and the top trim in the back because it floats and the water pressure kept it tight. Sooo I had to get it out because I couldn't reattach it wet. Filled up a 30 gallon tub, HOB filter, heater, put this fishies in it while I did some work. Used the opportunity of a 1/2 water change to add my sand. I wanted to do it quick since my fish were in a tupperware tub. So now I'm back to a black background and tan sand. But this PFS is awesome. My RTC darts around on it all night and it doesn't even cloud. My moonlight looks so sick with this color scheme too. Tan sand looks great and they stick out great against the black with the blue LEDs
Here's a few of the PFS, full tank shot [boring but I kind of like it, and still unsure what I want to do with it seascape wise] then a side shot, and a bonus pic of my indo. He's not really that stable, the light is deceiving. Enjoy!
Go up a few posts and read what happened. Its IBC root beer, sir. haha. I had it in my old set up to simulate real life, but it kind of looks semi out of place in my new setup.
