I wanted to do something somewhat simple compared to my other tank I have collected a lot of stuff I don't need so I decided to figure out a new home for my axolotle this should be perfect for him
26g bow and stand were laying around
T5ho 2x24 glow fixture I already had
I have a magnum hob canister filter I got for free that I will be putting tubes on and mounting under the tank
I still have to finish reselling it after de rimming it
I'm going to try and use sponge holders as planters and I'm still looking for some styrafom as well
This is what I started with
And the future resident
Let me know if you have any suggestion I'm still not sure about plants
I had to drive out of town(about 100 miles) to a reptile expo to pick him up. I can get the brown/green and the orange ones locally but the pink one at the time was hard to find I paid 60 for him
These pics are actually a couple months old I have a newborn so not much time for anything but wc's and dosing my tanks I will will try to get more pics up Tomorow. These are the day it was planted.
I'm having a little issue with green algae I have to use a sponge filter( I think). Axolotles can't have much flow at all in the tank they get stressed very easily. I'm sure this algae is due to lack of flow is there any other way I can get rid of it. It's only growing on the floating riccia mat
Here's a pic that's about a month old. I'm really tired of that giant red/brown plant on the left. It's ugly and takes up way to much space.
Does anyone have any suggestions or plants for sale I could replace it with? I would mind having a few different plants in its place, that corner has a large planter.
Does anyone want the plant? It's riparium proven for a year now with no problems. 5 bucks plus shipping takes it
It seems this thread is dead but in gonna keep updating it
I'm thinking of replacing the dual t5ho's with a 20w led floodlight. Has anyone tried these on a riparium I just put a 10w one over my 10g I'm really liking it and hoping to replace all my fixtures with led over time to save on my stupid high power bill.
Heres a better pic of that plant. I just took a look at some of the first pics I took of this and I can't believe how much this thing has grown since I got it!
