This looks awesome! I want an emersed set up so bad, seems so much more fun than my standard tank.. I have to ask, where do you get all your awesome plants? Do you find a lot of them hiking? I live in the Adirondacks, but I'm always to scared too put anything from nature in my tank.

The rest at walmart ?! lol inside i ot some java moss, java fern. I honestly dumped in all i had in sights hehe............asides myself lol

izabella87 · 07-29-2012, 08:42 AM

I got like 4 cacatouide apistos, didnt have time for pics today

But let them row a bit, will take some pics soon, promised !

RWaters · 08-05-2012, 05:04 AM

Any updates?

izabella87 · 08-05-2012, 06:32 AM

Yes... ! I transferred my fish into the Volcano tank meanwhile because the cement still needs some curing, I didnt wanna risk them. The top plants are luscious. I will make take pics tomorrow after the water change

izabella87 · 08-10-2012, 07:30 AM

This has been somewhat of a back and forth experience.....
The cement seemed still uncured, so i took all living things out of the water and thoroughly washed it. Now put the plants back and the water appears clean/clear since a few days without any residues from cement.
Hopefully shortly I will be able to re-introduce some life in it.
