I am new addition to the site. I have been lurking for a couple weeks, love the information and the pictures that the site contains and that it is in Alberta.
I have been keeping for about 30 years. Started as small lad and had a love for the hobby ever since. I have kept freshwater, salt water and brackish tanks from 5 gallon up to 100. At one point I had 10 tanks going and even bought an out of business pet stores bank of 30 fish tanks.
My current passion for the last 10 years is the planted tank and down to one tank at the moment.
I currently have the following:
Tank: 40 Gallon Oceanic
Lighting: T8 Flora-Gro (15 cm) 12 Hours per day and natural lighting from window.
Filter: Fluval 203 (Bio balls and filter material)
Substrate: Fluorite
Fertilizer: Tropica Aquacare
Water Changes: 25% per week
CO2: None
Plants
Anubias barteri var. nana (3 Large and 6 Small)
Cryptocoryne undulata ''broad leaves'' x 1
Cryptocoryne wendtii ''green'' x 1
Cryptocoryne crispatula var. balansae x 3
Microsorum pteropus (Java Fern) (40+ Stems)
Vesicularia dubyana (Java Moss)
Fish
12 x Hyphessobrycon columbianus (Columbia Tetra)
6 x Corydoras aeneus (Bronze Cory)
2 x Mikrogeophagus ramirezi (German Blue Ram)
1 x Epalzeorhynchos kalopterus (Flying Fox)
1 x Ancistrus spp (Albino Bristle nose)
Hundreds of MTS
Future plans include a new hundred gallon planted tank and I will try to upload some pictures of my 40 gal in the next while.
I am looking forward to the discussions and the great content.
Cheers,
Chris
