jeditait Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) Got this tank from a friend so i decided to take all my plants from my Cichlid tank and setup a planted aquarium. I had some fish leftover from my sale so i stocked it with those fish as well. Here are some details: Fluval Stratum substrate PennPlax 300 Filter PS20 powerhead with sponge pre-filter Tetra Whisper internal filter Current USA Freshwater plus 48" LED lights Pressurized Co2 - utilizing the powerhead to diffuse the Co2 Plants: Rotala Pennywort Hornwort Anubias Java Fern Amazon Sword Fish: 30 Juvie Dragonblood Peacocks (I will want to get these guys out of here as soon as possible) Pair of breeding Kribensis (and about 10 fry) Common Pleco 2 Nerite Snails Ramshorns Planaria (i think) Edited June 28, 2014 by jeditait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeditait Posted August 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Well its been quite some time since I've posted and I figured it was time to get some new pics uploaded The tank has been amazing and I've seen some amazing growth using the pressurized Co2 and Seachem Flourish every few days. Recently i added some duckweed which my wife loves, its adds a fun element to the tank as the filters push it under the water towards the front of the tank. I will finally be removing the Dragonblood cichlids from the tank as i have a friend that is going to take them all and breed them. The mating pair of kribs have had two batches of fry, the first batch didnt last long however this last batch is growing quite quickly and most of them are still alive. Pictures below, i will do better about adding pictures as i take them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckmullin Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Good tank. Just don't let the duckweed get too thick or else the plants below will suffer greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeditait Posted August 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Thanks Ckmullin, I'm pretty sure it's time to remove some from the tank I do love how clear the duckweed keeps the tank though. Replaced the 2 HOBs with a Fluval 305 and got the peacocks out of the tank. I'm going to let the kribensis fry grow out in this tank, hopefully mom and pop don't decide to have another batch here right away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
