Here's my 10 gallon high light... still a work in progress.

100_0808.jpg

The only fish in this tank so far is my betta, Simon. I also have 5 amano shrimp (visible on the glass and on the bottom front of the tank) and numerous MTS. I wanted galaxy rasbora for this tank, but now they're endangered in the wild, so I'm holding off until commercial breeding is established (though I may just get impatient and get some endler's instead... we'll see). I also plan to get some pygmy cories. (I know that results in a heavily stocked tank, but there should be enough plants to compensate :) )

The dark stuff on the bottom level is aquasoil that's being rebellious and spreading all over the place. I'm divided on what to do about that; I'm hoping that once the plants have grown in a little more, the soil will stay put. Otherwise, I may switch out the playground sand for some Tahitian Moon Sand (it's black, so it'll blend in a little better). The plant in the middle level is pearlgrass; it was substituted for the H. callitrichoides that I had ordered, and I don't much care for the growth habit... a little too brambly for my tastes. So Colby (at Elite) is ordering some in for me, and when I get it, I'll switch species.

The lights are regular old screw-in compact fluorescents. I dose with Flourish Excel and I have fertilizer tabs in the substrate, but I'm trying to avoid water column fertilizers for the sake of my shrimp.

This was my 12G nanocube. 24W PC light @ 10000K, Eco-complete and DIY CO2. I miss this tank...

What is it that's making that lovely lawn in the front? It's gorgeous!
