So I have had this tank up and running now for ~5 months and to be honest I haven't been doing anything with it at all. I threw some java moss in there, a java fern, a Buddah and some cheap feeder guppies. Later on I decided that I would put in a moss wall (or attempt) and that's half going half not...
Here is the Before:
I decided that it was in need of some re-vamping, so I got to work tonight and started removing, trimming, moving, etc.....
Here is the After:
I took much of the moss on the wood and re-wrapped most of it to the driftwood, I know I want a really mossed out piece and filled in some empty spots.
When I trimmed the wall, I had enough left that I thought was worth salvaging to start a moss rock, I plan on having some more rocks to create small hiding places soon.
Moss Wall after the trim, I may need to re-work/plan if I want to keep a wall in here.
Tank Specs
10 Gallon
Whisper HOB 15 Gallon rated filter (with SS mesh for inlet)
15W T8 Bulb
Air Stone (more than likely coming out)
Using API Co2 booster until I can work out a CO2 setup (gotta save some pennies)
Plants Currently in Tank
Java Moss
Java Fern
Animals currently in tank
~20 feeder guppies (they will be coming out soon)
~10 ghost shrimp
Future Plans
Re-scaping
DIY or Paintball CO2
Working on Moss Wall to get it to fill in
Removal of guppies
I think this will be my first foray into shrimp once I get the guppies out, I will start with ghosties (since they are so cheap) and if I can get a colony of them going (yes I know the confines are small) it will help me figure out my plans for my next tank which I am in the planning stages and would love to do planted/shrimp in.
Let me know what you think, I will be reserving the next few posts to help keep things organized I do like adding pictures
