The-Influence Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Thought I'd post some pics of my 40 gallon planted tank . Now it's kinda messy as I'm not too good with aqua-scapping but it's getting there. Feel free to put in your 2 cents Blake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grunt031 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Do you know what plant you use at foreground right side. The small round leaf plants. Tank looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gBOYsc2 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Very nice tank. Care to post the tank specs as far as equipment goes? What is the plant with the red underside? And I really like your fissidens and mosses. Where did you get the fissidens I have been wanting some forever! And what kind of moss is the low sitting one to the bottom right of the fissidens?

And I really like your fissidens and mosses. Where did you get the fissidens I have been wanting some forever! And what kind of moss is the low sitting one to the bottom right of the fissidens? Alternanthera reineckii 'Pink' (roseafolia) is the green and pink plant ... I will most likely be getting rid of some if it's something your looking for . I can't even remember where I got the Phoenix Moss (Fissidens fontanus ) it's a painfully slow growing moss ! And the moss too the lower right is willow moss. Iv also got Christmas moss and flame moss in this tank . Gotta get that sword out of there ! It blocks alot. As for equipment ! It's a sensen aquarium so iv got the built in filter on top that rains back in to the tank . The pump / power head that draws the water to the top filter is also pushing water in to a DIY Co2 reactor I might add the Co2 is pressurized . Iv also got an Eheim 2215 . Had a heater but it went and iv not yet been able to replace it . Lighting is 3 T5ho I'd like to add one more bulb as my Water Sprite (Ceratopteris thalictroides) blocks a fair bit of light.

The-Influence Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Thought I'd post a few updates on the 40 The new tetras The male Cacatuoide .. I love this fish ! Proud mom and dad guarding fry Rearranged the tank a little and my moss is starting ta grow in . Dwarf hairgrass is starting to grow back after my spixi snails went on a eating spree !

gBOYsc2 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 The tank is lookin great. I love your apistos man. They are beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Influence Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Thanks pal . I gotta rehome the Eunotus as I only want the Cacatuoides for cichlids in this tank and I left the lid up awhile ago and my inka seen it as a window to jump out ! Blew my mind ! So either I get another male or I rehome the two lonely females ... But as for the plants I'm rather happy aside from the GSA that is always on the glass and on a few leaves Blake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caprichoso Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Very attractive set up. I especially love all the mosses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Influence Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Thanks ! I plan on adding another moss covered piece of wood as soon as it waterlogs . I'd do a 90% moss tank if I could lol it's a great plant ! Blake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolla Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Your tank is such an inspiration to me ! Thanks for taking the time to post your pics. I have very poor light and have a really hard time getting my plants to grow. I will need to get better light soon :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
