Figured I would go ahead and get this going, since I am days away from my upgrade.
Current setup is a 55 gal planted community.
New setup is a 75gal.
Equip:
2 Penn-Plax Cascade 1000's
Pressurized Co2
108w Dual T5 54w
30w Dual T8
Not sure about heater yet.
Subtrate:
Dirted with Miracle Grow Eco / terra cotta
Top Layer PFS.
Fish:
3 Marble Angels
7 rummies
6 Cardinals
6 peppered cories
3 Kuhils
1 Weathered Dojo
3 Ottos
2 Indo Flying Foxes
1 BN pleco
1 Female Red Betta
Plants
Water-Sprite
2 massive Java Ferns
Several Stems of Lugwina
Vals
2 Crypt parva
2 Anubias petite nana
Java moss
Dwarf Sag
2 Swords (selling not going into 75)
ADDING::
Red Cabomba
Limnophila aromatica
Riccia fluitans
Hemianthus callitrichoides (attached to base rock)
Dwarf Hair Grass
Here is the tank
Planning on setting up the 75 with the plants only to eat the excess ammonia caused by the dirt. After the ammonia goes down and all the parameters are ok then I will add the existing fish.
The massive piece of wood I have will be cut in half. Here is a pic before I attached the java ferns and moss
Several months later
The top portion (ferns attached) will be kinda in the same spot. The other half (with moss attached) I will drill 2 1 1/2 round hold and silicon magnets in the holes. This piece will attach to the glass on the right side of the back glass (bottom side will have the holes) Standing UP.
I am also looking for another piece of wood to do the same thing to but more of a ROOT/stump concept with.
Thats it for now, I will take several pics during the process.
