T&J Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I've spent the last few months setting up my 55G freshwater and I got around to taking some current pics of it tonight. White sand substrate, stock filter & heater, homemade stand. How it started, basic 55G kit with crap lights (2X15W), fishless cycling: How it looks now with loads of plants and a much-upgraded light fixture (260W of CFL's plus moonlighting) Golden gourami, she's surprisingly aggressive. Sterba's Cory (pretty sure anyway, they weren't identified at the LFS), got 3 of them and they're awesome. Got a few more plants to add and a better CO2 system, but she's petty well finished for now - at long last! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbemis Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Nice photos and tank looks good. Be cool to see when it starts to fill in more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
