it will consist of MGOC capped with pool filter sand, pressurized co2, t5HO (the fixture is around 400 watts dont know if ill keep both banks on). dual canisters, and a water pump that i forgot the gph.
i like the two on the left also. the only reason i have the one on the right is because its covering up the white pvc in/outputs for my water pump. its the only one i have thats tall enough. if i take that one out them i left with 2. i dont like even #'s.
Miracle grow organic choice potting mix... this stuff is weird. i usually just use top soil.
pool flter sand. its so freakin white. hope it tones down a bit.
this sword is over 2 ft tall and spreads out 2 feet wide. i was debating whether i wanted to use it just because its so huge. i trimmed off a couple dozen leaves. i wanted to pitch it but felt bad because its the first plant i ever bought (i have 2 this large) a couple years ago. its been sitting ina dark cold bucket for a couple days.
this tank previously housed discus, they are currently in a holding tank. due to a stupid mistake i lost my largest one i've had for years. contempleting trying to trade them in for store credit. i have an 18 month old child and they are just too much work right now.
It just happened with my Bronze Wendtii, took off all but 5 leaves and now I have over thirty in like two weeks, just dosing excel and 18 watts of light (7.5g). Not sure if all crypts are as quick to bounce back though...

havent quite decided yet besides a large school of cardinals, skunk & panda corys & possibly some sort of apistos.
probably some black neons & glolites as well.
this tank has been running for 2 weeks. have done 1 45g water change in that time to get rid of some of the yellow. my crappy camera & yellow water = bad pics.
this looks great for having only been up 2 weeks! you must have done some major initial planting!! how is the submersed/riparium growth on the top doing?
thanks! i did plant pretty heavy. i had to remove the terrestial plants because i had to lower my lights, they burnt up a bit. if i raise them again i will put them back.
