rayfong Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Jerry, I've got lots of val and I'll take a look, but I think I've got a pair of Lamprologus brevis as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oneiroid Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Val: As ridiculous as I made pico tanks out to be, I really am interested to hear any 'aftermath' stories if anyone experiments with maintaining their pico tanks beyond the December meeting! This is a form of aquascaping that involves the scale of resources that allows anyone, on any budget, to create complex and detailed aquascapes and at the same time does not require large ongoing commitments. It is also something very new and explored to only a very small degree, so I see this as almost a test case for the concept. I am truly excited by the response to project and am really looking forward to seeing everyone's entries - learning new things that I'd not imagined! syno321: I have some lovely baby anubias plantlets I'd be happy sell you :guns: Ishkabod: Wow! How did the tank turn out? Glad we had a couple sets of glass left over so you and another member could sneak under the wire and participate in the contest :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted November 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Does anyone know where to get a set of longer tweezers to help with planting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneiroid Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 I picked up a set of tweezers with a fine tapered tip for about $5 from Bedrock Supply (they have a large selection - I think mostly for manipulating gems or beads or other tiny things). The set I got was not especially long in length, but the pointed tip really helps with fine substrates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted November 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Just a FYI for the people in the NW of the city. I picked up a pair of fine tipped 8" long tweezers for 6$ at the gem shop on 149st & 116ave. Thanks for the tip on looking at a rock/gem store though. They had tweezers in every shape and size.

BlindCaveTetra Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 It will be cool to see all the pico tanks for the aquarium beautiful. An easy way to fool people if you don't say the size! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneiroid Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I'm looking forward to it too. See everyone tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
