Oh, I just love how you throw this whole thing together and it looks fabulous immediately.

Pure. Talent.

Like the start Nick!! Looks like it will be another winner!

**zachary908** · 03-26-2012, 11:09 PM

Looking good, bro! I can't wait to see this tank hit it's stride.

It wasn't that bad haha. My moss is starting to turn yellow tho

. I just hope it can recover during this cycling phase, otherwise CRAP... I'll have to tie new moss on underwater and I'm positive that's not gonna be fun at all.

Catch up Nathan! I thought you'd be ahead of me already.

Better buy up that soil at AFA before they run out again.

It's malnurished mini xmas moss lol. I sure hope it turns a new leaf soon.

For some reason I started my rescaping 2 months ago and you're already done. Hahaha

I actually love my standard Caramel Latte... Although it doesn't really make me go all:

in the mornings

I think the problem here is I honestly have no clue which plant to plant where...

This is exactly what I was thinking when I saw how fast this tank went up.

You need a quadruple shot Expresso bro! haha Is there such a thing?

**speedie408** · 03-27-2012, 05:07 AM

Those seiryu stones are so complex and cut. Look like large million year old rock out croppings. I'll have to start looking for rocks up in the mountains that have a similar quality. Definitely want some rock like that in my next large scape.

**IWANNAGOFAST** · 03-27-2012, 06:10 AM

this tank is epic in person. You should host the next baaps meet bro!

**jkan0228** · 03-27-2012, 06:31 AM

What would you say is the secret to crystal clear water? Plenty of flow?

Good luck with the rock collecting audio. I've done my share around the Sierras and haven't found any rocks like these yet.

I gotta try because I don't have your connections and Japan is bogarting what is left from what I've read. There are some pretty cool looking rocks up in the hills and mountains here in S. Ore. The Siskiyou mountains are particularly interesting geologically and botanically. Lots of granite, marble and other metamorphic rock. Might as well snag some Manzanita while I'm up hiking around.

I just looked on E-bay and the Odyssea CFS 500 was a reasonable $60. What was bad about the Eheim?
