Ada Iwagumi Tank And Steps --Photo Heavy--

Mahawka · 10-19-2012, 03:33 AM

@ Brian Awesome! I am glad that this Journal is helping you.

Just FYI I have tested my Filter loop with just bucket of water and everything works great.
If you decide to follow the 1/2ID tubing you want to get 13mm lilys pipes; it fits like a charm. It is indeed tough to fit the 1/2 over the fluval system, but it fits.

@Hayden went to my LFS after i read you post on Boraras Brigittae. And you are right i love them. Since they only grow up to a max length of 2cm that would work great in my 10 gallon.
At the same time i still really like the blue neon tetras. I guess i still have a ton of time to decide before adding fish in.

Excuse me! I had thought this was a mini-m! (Seems to be what everybody has..)
Neons would indeed fit in that tank (45-p?), just a question of preference I guess.

Nice journal! I really want to know if the divider works. I really like hair grass but the grow like crazy and shooting everywhere.
