czcz Hobbyist Posts: 62 Kudos: 37 Votes: 0 Registered: 24-Nov-2004 | keithgh thought I should share newest pic (6/7, adjusted by Keith 6/12) of my tank, so here it is. If a premie can link first image from my webserver its appreciated. Site is a log of the tank, and past pics/updates are in the bottom of the page, if interested.

keithgh *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003 | czcz Joe as I explained in chat that is one fantastic tank. Can you include all the measurements please, that is what certainly impressed me. Bernard what do you think of this for a small tank and basically a beginner to aquacaping? Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT? VOTE NOW VOTE NOW |

czcz Hobbyist Posts: 62 Kudos: 37 Votes: 0 Registered: 24-Nov-2004 | Sure. I've got a long way to go as I'm still dealing with algae Main tank dims are ~24x6.5x12.5 (wxdxh) started 11/04 (first tank since killing tutles as a little kid) 8g tank (3.25wpg and recently added 23w spiral CFL for 4 hours/day) + 10g reverse photoperiod sump (<2wpg) 140-300gph one-way current through main ~15ppm NO3 from KNO3 1-2ppm PO4 from tap and pinch of KH2PO4 2x a week ~20ppm K from above + K2SO4 CSM+B with extra Fe to .2ppm (I assume good Mg from high GH) kH 5.5-6.0, pH 6.6 for CO2 +40ppm (2*2L yeast) --- http://justanothertank.com |

Hoa dude_dude Mega Fish Posts: 957 Kudos: 888 Votes: 72 Registered: 28-Dec-2004 | I dont think your giving your glosso a chance to grow I liked the way it was last the best though still a great tank |

czcz Hobbyist Posts: 62 Kudos: 37 Votes: 0 Registered: 24-Nov-2004 | Thanks. The glosso was actually planted in Feb throughout the foreground, and due to inefficent light (likely due to restrike from 2*23W spiral cfl over 8g) had to trim and replant as it grew vertically. I also have kuhliis which like to uproot it, so its a contest of stubbornness. I think I won, though You can see glosso progress in the archive pics at the bottom of my page, if you want. I spread it out and rearranged some things last week and will post new update sometime this week. --- http://justanothertank.com |

czcz Hobbyist Posts: 62 Kudos: 37 Votes: 0 Registered: 24-Nov-2004 | Thanks mangor34 I bought those plants as "Red Dwarf Lilies," and think they're Nymphaea stellata -- is it the same as the lotus you have under Plant Intro? You certainly have permission to use pics! I'm all excited. I've bookmarked your site -- nice layout and speed. And great tanks! Dunno if you're interested, but I'll have new pics up in a day or so. I'm expecting Stargrass and Hygro corymbosa "compact" and plan on taking before (current rearrangement) and after pics, in hopes people can help me learn to aquascape and maybe create illusion of more depth with some Dutch-ness on the right side. (I've no idea what I'm doing as I have little artistic understanding or talent. ) Last edited by czcz at 21-Jun-2005 20:20 --- http://justanothertank.com |

Forever-mango Fish Addict Posts: 611 Kudos: 586 Votes: 35 Registered: 01-Dec-2003 | czcz, the Stargrass is a nice plant, Im trying to find some myself. You should try to get some Red Cabomba...looks hectic! Mango Last edited by mangor34 at 21-Jun-2005 23:53[/font] |
