![]() | Thinking over my new tank Set-up |
Tetra Fan![]() ![]() ![]() Mega Fish Posts: 1203 Kudos: 1081 Votes: 63 Registered: 11-Apr-2004 ![]() ![]() ![]() | Well it's a 29 gallon tank and I'm pretty sure what the stock is going to be. 2 Blue Rams (pair) 6 Scwartzi Cory's 10 Cardinal tetras But I am not sure how I want the tank to look. I drew a mediocre diagram of what I think might look good, but I'm not sure. Any suggestions? Diagram: Nameless attached this image: ![]() |

You can also attach some Plants with the Driftwood. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |

I was thinking of mixing 3/4 of an inch of sand and small, dark pea gravel over top of about a quarter of an inch of eco complete. Sound good? [edit] by the way I think maybe we should start having plant profiles soon ![]() Last edited by Nameless at 24-Jul-2005 13:05 |

Small pebbles are better. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |

The sand will pass through the space of the pebbles. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |
