Thanks - I'm really liking this one so far. Here's hoping all the plants do well. I've got a pair of cockatoo apistos and a small school of trilineatus corys that will be going in there. I'm...

So, there was a shipping issue, and nothing got here when I wanted it to get here. (Thanks, UPS!) Fortunately, the sender was very kind, and resent my order with no hassle. My fish finally got to...

A little late, but I got some more plants. Also experimenting with riparium planters and rafts, courtesy of hydrophyte. I'm pretty happy with this at the moment. Not sure how well some of those...

Beautiful tank! I really like how you have all this color, but it works together and doesn't distract from the overall flow of the tank!

40B experiment

I recently acquired a 40B, which is a tank I've wanted for years, but never had the time/space/resources to acquire. I'm pretty excited about setting it up - this is the largest volume I've had the...

Thanks. It's funny, I've been keeping tanks for well over a decade now, and this is the first time I've had one leak. Got lucky on the timing with this one, I guess. Definitely looking forward to the...

Crisis averted

10g tank sprung a leak. Fortunately, it was the slow, seeping kind of leak, rather than the sudden catastrophic failure kind of leak. I was just about to upgrade the 20L to a 40B, so I was planning...

Long time, no news. Finals at school and overtime at work have combined to keep me off the internet. But in the meantime, the 10 g has grown in.

I mean, like, grown in a lot.

I'd say 2.5 gal is too small for a honey gourami. They get to be about 2 in. long, and the one I have spends a lot of time exploring her tank. 10 gallons is the smallest I'd try for a single one.

If you're willing to do some mucking around outside, you may be able to find local pieces that will work. Most hardwoods are safe, so long as they're not green, and you'll want to boil and scrub...

Thanks! I'm actually a bit surprised at how well they're coming together.

The 20L is lit by two 17W T8s, one 5500K and one 7800K, held about 9 inches above the top of the tank. This setup seems to...

A couple of new additions to both tanks.

As my Christmas present to myself, I got a pair of orange A. cacatuoides for the 20-gal. They've become my favorite fish in the tank - they're only about...

Just a suggestion - if you're going with rams, you might not want to select white clouds as one of your schooling fish, as they're at opposite ends of the temperature spectrum.

As for numbers,...

10g swamp, now 20g due to leak

I had a spare 10g tank sitting around in the basement, just collecting dust. Figured I ought to do something about that. :icon_smil

I want to make kind of a swampy-looking 'scape out of it. Not...

Nice setup! I think the stones look off because they're too uniform - maybe try a group of one or two big stones plus a bunch of much smaller ones? Might also help to pile them up more on one side...

Might want to leave it alone and let it cycle before you add any fish. If you've got any surface agitation (can't really see whether that's the case in your pics), you've probably got plenty of O2....

You're going to want to pull that java fern out of the substrate - it likes to have its roots out in the water. If you tie it to one of the stumps, it'll anchor itself with enough time. What kind of...

Yet another thread looking for stocking suggestions.

So, I've got a spare 10g that I'd like to set up, but I'm a bit torn on what to put in it. I'd like a main fish with personality, that's fun to watch with some interesting behaviors, if possible, but...
