A little shameful to post pics of my little tower >__<
But I know everyone on the forum is always helpful in chiming in on ideas to improve members builds. :help:
A little bout myself...
Im a college student living in student housing, and I was lucky to pick up my own private room. I moved from Oahu, Hawaii to adventure into the "Mainland" to experience a different type of culture. Im now fortunate that I left Hawaii to be able to gain the experience in learning and knowledge of the beauty of aquascaping..
Well, long story short...
I Love Plants!
Anyways, heres my little tiny rack, that for sure needs improvement...
SHHH... lol.. I had the same amount of tanks you see on a different dresser/stand. Just recently added the rack.. i've been passing the cleaning check, so hopefully no problems! lol... UVU roud:
cool cool. Im hoping to get away with my mere 6 gal haha. and yea like ive told you before im down in the provo area all the time. Lots of friends at byu provo. Love the area, thinking about transfering down there!
dude when im down there next I will (ill need to-I need plants!). It might be this next weekend but it might also have to wait till the end of the month. I just have to wait and see.
Wow mike. I'm secretly starting a little tank collection...Jenn doesn't realize it. But I'm going to move things around too! Hopefully when you n da miss come back to visit you stop by !! Nice job btw
So, finally got the 40B filled with water. Was a PITA trying to get the canister going, since it was level with the tank..
Still waiting for the call back on my 5lb to be filled at the shop and got a huge order from Han (h4n) coming in Wednesday.
Heres how the garden looks so far..

Soon to be Anubias/Bucephalandra/PFR Tank.

Still in the process of clearing up. Hopefully it'll be filled up once large shipment of plants arrive.
So, I've been getting a little frustrated on purchasing used 3-4 month old aqua soil.. lots of dust covering plants.. so, I imagined that bc i carefully added water into the used soil, with very minimal disturbance to the substrate, I whole walnut analogy of smaller particles falling to bottom, never really worked out?
So, again... took out all plants and this time purposely stirred up soil causing a dirty mess... siphoned a ton of the dirty water out.. and added fresh water... repeated this process a few times, and the very last time, seemed like everything settled in nicely.
As i added plants back in, I notice very minimal cloudiness of dust floating around water, which brought a lot of relief.
few minor changes:
Moved outflow across the intake filter and will be hooking up a co2 reactor to make co2 more efficient.
I really like how you arranged the plants in the 40b! Awesome... can't wait to see it grow all full & lush for ya.
Hah good idea, grow out tank. That's kinda what one of my picotopes are for right now, lol. Random plants I don't have room for or didn't work in the Flora for one reason or another.
So jealous of your rack too. Where'd you get it? I need something like that. Only have 2 1/2 tanks set up atm but I'd so have more if I had more places to put em.
As far as room to collect more stuffs goes... if there is a will, there IS a way
Sweet, thanks for the link. The price isn't bad at all, even not on sale. Last fish tank stand I bought cost way more. Just imagine how many nano's I could have if I had this rack.... . lol
It'll prolly be the next 'big' item I get. Def before I go setting up another tank. You mentioned you customized it. What did you do to it? It's late/early... so if it's been posted already my bad.
Being on this forum does NOT help keep this hobby in check, lol. But hey, the more the merrier, right?
BTW what was the spikey grass like plant in the "Do!aqua Mini L" before the rescape? Bylxa Japacona (sp)? If so need to get me some better lighting so I can grow some... freaking love it!
