jvision Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Where are whiteworms found? Mostly from other hobbyists. I have some and could get you a starter culture when you're ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayen Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 You could always route it to the side and go with a white (wall) background. Also, i think more wood is always welcome. Patrick might have a few really nice pieces left, go see GillsNFins. Looking forward to this . Is it flourite black or normal flourite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snaggle Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 You have a good start, I might have missed it but what are you using for sand. Also are you taking you pics with a fish eye lens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also are you taking you pics with a fish eye lens? Thanks! I'm using a mix of sand/flourite and gravel/flourite Yes I am using a fish eye lens cause I don't have a standard wide angle atm to take pics with in my small room, plus, it looks cool.

strayner Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Filled the tank, put in the substrate and rocks and everything is up and running! The tank is still settling, and the water isn't the clearest yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strayner Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 also - not super clear in these photos but it is very sloped from front to back, particularly in the right corner. goes from about 1 1/2 inches to 4 inches in the back.

strayner Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) Tank has been dosed with ammonia (Safeway brand - Ammonium Hydroxide + water), and seeded with the puny filter media from my 5 gallon. Added a couple small strands of Java Moss to the tip of the mopani wood to get tree-like growth. Edited January 27, 2010 by strayner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added a couple small strands of Java Moss to the tip of the mopani wood to get tree-like growth. Some pieces of java fern can also give it a tree like effect , and this is what I have with java fern. However, it depends on the kind of tree that you are trying to create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayen Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Philippe Oliviera has made a couple nice tanks with moss tree if you want some inspiration. My friend tried emulating it in his custom ( it's in my journal section if you want to take a gander). I would try making a carpet around it, hairgrass and e tenellus would be good choices.

I'm getting some E. tenellus this friday! I have big ideas for this tank, hopefully it will look half as nice as I picture it now :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
