Rbp tank changes update

[dudey]

Changed the tank around a bit. Took them out of their 125 and put them into my other one. PAinted the background black, changed the substrate from play sand to black ecocomplete substrate mixed with fine black sand. and planted it.
Light is a 48 inch 4x65 watt bulbs 10k bulbs, trying to add a 24inch fixture or just buy a 72 inch fixture.

fish were eating the day after I added them
last two pics is what it used to look like

pics were taken with camera phone so excuse the quality

ya seems adequate. The more the better, but it looks like you have enough. I just run a fx5 and magnum 350.


And jp, not sure yet. I just set up a 75g brandtii tank, planted. c02, 1.9 wpg, with two hour burst at 3.8 wpg. hopefully when that takes off I can take clippings from that and add them to the 125, but might just leave it open.
