Kwirky Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Here's my new freshwater aquarium. It was a 120g reef tank converted to a planted aquarium. It's not heavily stocked in fish yet, because I'm taking it slow. It's 120g, 48x24x24 inches. Pressurized CO2, T5 tek lights, and XP3 filter hard plumbed into the tank. Flourite substrate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q39Y1Z9VscY tell me what you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishful Thinking Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Looks fantastic! What type of other fish are you going to be throwing in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwirky Posted July 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Lookin' good. I see lots of pruning in your future yeah lol. luckily I like the "wild" look, so I won't be doing much nit-picky pruning. Just going in with the scissors and chopping away once in a while. Looks fantastic! What type of other fish are you going to be throwing in there? dunno. I've been contemplating some catfish, because they'd swim amongst the plants. Anyone know of any shoaling fish that'd go in and out of the plants? the danios stay in the open water. I've considered cory's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Chicklets Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Cories would do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacey Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 neons, cardinal tetras Excellent idea! I like the thought of a whole bunch of tiny fish in a big tank. My cardinals certainly seem happiest in my planted tank.......which, by the way, looks no where near as good as yours. Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cardinals certainly seem happiest in my planted tank.......which, by the way, looks no where near as good as yours. Nice job! Some think big is better. For fish, I think more is better . I added 8 dwarf ram cichlids. They've hidden themselves quite well amongst the jungle, like I had hoped they would. I'm thinking if they end up breeding, they'd do it in the jungle growth. Anyone know if SAE's are bad for eating fry or eggs in general? Edited July 31, 2007 by Kwirky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FLIP Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Just don't get a CAE what ever you do lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Ram Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Can I ask where you purchased the tank or did you have it made. It looks rimless?? I'd like that size for my discus. By the way discus would look awesome in there with a large school of cardinals!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
