Thought I'd share pictures of the setup of our 10gal tank.
Dusted the bottom with a thin layer of peat. Note, I evened it out a bit after taking the pic...well, tried to.
Used the pool filter sand and laterite from the 29, since we put Flourite in there...
Here's where my wife took over..she did the layout and everything. Put some rocks in..
I cleaned up the old hood a bit. This thing has been around for years.
Put in the leftovers from the 29. These are all beat up pretty bad...they dried out bigtime when we moved
The finished product. This is the angle it's mostly viewed at (tough to take pics straight on, it's pretty close to a wall)
Then I got some plants from starccc the other day, so I just tossed them in. I'm having issues with the 29, so I figured I'd keep them in here for the time being. I was in a hurry.
Rearranged and cut off the dead/ragged leaves of the new plants today. Once I get the fertilization on the 29 all sorted out, these will go in there (most of them anyway). Also added some DIY CO2 to the tank a bit ago (not pictured).
All in all the tank contains:
Java moss
rotala rotundifolia
jungle val
corkscrew val
giant hygro
green hygro
sunset hygro
dwarf sag
4 guppies plus a few fry (and a stray endler fry)
2 small clown loaches (to take care of the snail problem for now)
the purtiest Petsmart crowntail betta ever.
snails. lots and lots of snails.
Thanks for looking.
