I saw in your for sale pictures that you have a glass lid on your mini M. Did that come with the tank or did you purchase it?

MONARK · 11-18-2009, 01:51 PM

I just purchase a piece of clear acrylic, drilled some holes and cut some fittings for the pipes.

You can buy the ADA Mini-M cover, I think it's $19.00 plus shipping at aqua forest aquarium but that cover leaves more space open and my fish liked to jump through every little space they could (I don't know why), so I just did my own cover and it has worked perfectly.

Fantastic tank dude. And great idea for the tank cover. I may do something similar after losing about a million endlers over the last year to suicide attempts.

Thanks man, I lost a lot of tetras, rasboras and RCS; the covers works so perfectly that it keeps the nerites from coming out of the tank.

About the tank, it is going through a rescape now so I will pictures in a future.

I don't think I've ever said it, but I am totally jealous of the algae on that rock, it looks amazing.

That actually looks really cool. It's different and I like it

MONARK · 12-18-2009, 12:52 AM

Thnaks CL. I can't wait for it to fill in, the HG was planted today and it will take some weeks to take off, the four leaf clover is changing to its submerse form, I hope it starts to spread before the HG and the Verticilata is growing like crazy.

We'll see how it progress.

MONARK · 01-16-2010, 12:23 AM

New pics...

Eleocharis belem and the four leaf clover are starting to fill, it might take a month or two to complete fill the foreground. The Pennywoorth is grown like crazy and it needs a trim.

Looking really, really good dude! I love the pennywort. The scale of the pennywort versus the driftwood totally reminds me of something out of Avatar. But that could also be because I just saw it and I'm on a rainforest kick. Either way, I like it!

Looks like you got the Archaea light too! Is that a 10,000k bulb in there? The reflection on the surface of the water kind of looks like LEDs instead of compact fluorescent.

**bsmith** · 01-16-2010, 12:35 AM

Looks great, very clean.

Thanks!!!! That light is the Archaea with a 10.000k bulb, I got tired of the 27 watt HB desktop lamp and I think the pennyworth is pearling more since I got this new light, to me it looks more fresh with this bulb like if-it-were-summer-and-you-wanna-jump-into-the-tank-to-cool-down fresh. LOLOLOLO
