Show me your Spec!

**Geniusdudekiran** · 12-08-2011, 03:42 AM

Couldn't pass up the opportunity to show off my high-tech spec:

Flora: Cabomba caroliniana, Cabomba furcata, Cabomba silvergreen, Rotala rotundifolia, Hemianthus callitrichoides, Hemianthus micranthemoides, Staurogyne repens, Sagittaria subulatta, Eriocaulon sp. Japan, Syngonanthus belem, Microsorum pteropus 'Windelov'

Fauna: 3 PFRs, with several Class N Lime Green Endlers coming tomorrow (thanks again somewhatshocked/Jake!)
Equipment: Fluval Ebi 13 watt PCL, stock filter, nano glass drop checker

CO2: Pressurized paintball CO2 @ 1.2 BPM

Ferts: RootMedic RootCaps, Seachem Flourish Excel, soon to be replaced by RootMedic OneStep!

WC schedule: 40% once weekly

Let me know how it looks and please give any suggestions!

Kiran, your spec is looking AWESOME. Take out that drop checker and it'll look even cleaner. @1bps you're not going to kill anything....so I don't think you have to worry...unless you come home and see your bubble counter going crazy.

And kiran. I love the overall shape of your scape such a nice flow to it great job! can't wait to see it progress further.. im always a sucker for triangular shaped scapes

**Geniusdudekiran** · 12-08-2011, 11:19 AM

Yeah, it was quite interesting getting it trimmed that way. I always do love scapes leading to one corner and the shape of this tank lends well to it. Fish should be here today -- will post pics. Also, this tank has been set up since August (my bday present) but I just rescaped it to look like this a week or two ago. Since I added the Fluval Ebi light on Saturday, some of my red plants are turning, well, red

I got rid of the neons I had in it last night (brought them to LFS) to make room for the endlers that Somewhatshocked gave to me for just the price of shipping!

esworp · 12-08-2011, 05:25 PM

that cambo is going to keep you busy!

esworp · 12-08-2011, 05:28 PM

thanks for the kind words. I did a little trimming..

**Geniusdudekiran** · 12-09-2011, 12:25 AM

Trimming? You took out the entire foreground! LOL

**Geniusdudekiran** · 12-09-2011, 05:12 AM

New pics now that the new fish are in -- unfortunately I could not get any pics of them, they're just too fast. And skittish, having just been put in their new home.

I'm thinking about getting some Downoi for the right side of the tank, what do you guys think?

**sayurasem** · 12-09-2011, 07:56 AM

twisted my neck for the last pic lol

**Geniusdudekiran** · 12-09-2011, 01:32 PM

Yeah I know, sorry. Assumed it would fix it for me, but I'm too lazy to do it myself now. It's a good pic though

Basil · 12-09-2011, 01:40 PM

That's is one beautiful Spec. What kind of fish did you put in it?

**Geniusdudekiran** · 12-09-2011, 02:20 PM
