Clint's 75 Gallon. High Light Project Update 12/31/12 (56k)

**Dempsey** · 12-15-2012, 09:14 PM

How much do you guys think I will need? What type would you go with?

**Dempsey** · 12-31-2012, 07:28 PM

It's official!! I started the tank up on Saturday!!

I ended up getting flourite for the substrate though... It really does'nt look bad. I went to a LFS and just grabbed any plants they had just to start the tank off. I will be surfing the SNS a whole lot in the next few weeks!!

I would take a pic for you guys and gals but it's pretty embarrasing to look at right now.

I am still pretty happy right now though!! Back home and the tank is running!!

I also just got the co2 tank filled today and hooked up. Man..... I don't miss messing with the co2... The next few weeks will be fun, tweeking that PITA!!

OMG, I'm so glad you, your wife, and your dog are all ok! I was looking at your pictures almost crying. That was terrible.

I'm also glad to hear you got your tank back up and running! Can't wait to see pictures

Thanks! Yeah, it was probably the worst thing I have lived through yet... I should say, the worst thing that we have lived through... When all is said and done, we are all alive and we have a brand new home!

I am happy to be back! Back home and back on TPT!
