First ADA Tank

ddtran46,

Nice tank!

I'm not sure if you're still looking but if you want slate, check out Silverados on the Jackson Highway just a couple of miles east of Watt Ave.

Also, which shop had the anubias petite for $3.99? I saw some at Exotic last week but they were asking $12.99 each!

I went to exotics to buy the petites. I guess the guy we talked to was cool, so he sold it cheap to us.

I was bored so why not update my thread??

The algae is almost all gone on the moss

Blyxas are super bright. lol

The drop checker is pretty yellow.

some overhead shots(The needle fern seems like it grew since I first got it.)

How much ph solution did you add to your 4dkh solution to get it that dark?

ddtran46 · 03-25-2009, 10:42 PM

I used whatever the recommended drops is stated in the little booklet that came with the drop checker. I believe that it is just 1 drop of reagent into the drop checker.

Hey much and what brand was your drop checker?

Drop checker looks to be an ADA one. I love the look of mine and it fits well in the small tank.

If its ADA they are $42.

ch3fb0yrdee · 03-26-2009, 02:22 AM

Ya I was thinking it was ADA but I wanna know for sure what brand it is. I didn't see the ADA label on the drop checker.

Label is by the suction cup so only way to see it would be from the side of the tank. Its shape is identical to my ADA one.

Yeah its the ADA drop checker. Thanks Craigthor for answering him for me

. I didn't buy mines on the ADA site's. I bought mines from my lfs for 48 including tax.

ch3fb0yrdee · 03-26-2009, 02:47 AM

Ah I see. It's so slick. I love the design. 10x better than those other drop checkers.

ch3fb0yrdee · 03-26-2009, 02:48 AM

How are the lily pipes for you. Is your filter still the zoo med 501?

ddtran46 · 03-26-2009, 03:26 AM
