Hmmm... no update for over a year. Here's the aquarium as of today:
I am now running 2 x 96w compact fluorescents over this tank. I'm not going for an aquascape right now. The tank is currently acting as a farm for the 100 gallon I'm setting up for my father in his office. After the 100 is set up, I will tear this one down so I can move it into the room next door (my new bedroom), change the substrate to Aqua Soil Amazonia, and build a real aquascape. The only fish currently in this tank are swordtails and SAEs. The plants are:
- Cryptocoryne walkeri (lutea)
- Rotala sp. 'Green'
- Rotala macrandra
- Blyxa japonica (tiny bit)
- Heteranthera zosterfolia
- Hemianthus micranthemoides
- Hemianthus callitrichoides (HC)
- Hygrophila polysperma
- Hygrophila difformis
- Echinodorus tenellus
- Peacock Moss
- Riccia fluitans (trying to get rid of it)
Not everything is going to stay. I'm planning to give away most or all of the Cryptocoryne walkeri at the next SFBAAPS meeting so I have more room for stem plants.
I'll be fairly busy next semester, and I'm a master procrastinator, so I'm making no promises on updates.
