A PFR tank 120-G

Green Leaf Aquariums · 09-09-2012, 09:03 PM

Hi PTF! Just wanted to share a PFR tank that is slowly in the works. The tank is slow growing with lots of moss.

The tank has a long way to grow, I suspect 1-3 months of filling in. In any case I have a few cell phone pictures and I will do my best to update when I get free time.

Sorry for the crappy photo quality, Im going to take some decent photos as soon as I can.

That's incredible. A real paradise for painted fire reds. Would you ever consider another species that looks good with the reds? Maybe Blue Bees?

How did you grow all of that moss that way?? Awesome!

**MABJ** · 09-10-2012, 01:02 AM

I do agree.. How? And what Moss is it? Looks to be Taiwan moss based on its fronds..

Wait a year or two and see if you can cull out the lower grades before they reduce the stock.

I think I'll have to catch all the high grades then kill off the leftovers, no way to get them all any other way in a fully planted tank.

Fine in a bare bottom tank.

You can't catch the leftovers? 😨

These shrimp are about 1.5-2 years in the making now. I have to rid the tank soon of these bugs, I would like to try something blue for sure and will look into this for the next go around. Then again I could always bring one or 2 of the Altums in the tank for a day or 2.

I like to eat

Oh man!!!! If you're going to just ditch them, there are about 150 ppl here who would love to pay just shipping for them. Or charge a dollar a pop and you've got like $400 there lolol.

I never liked putting fish or shrimp in bags, Im more use to removing them. I have a friend coming to pick up a bunch of them. There will always be plenty, there are hundreds of babies everywhere. It will be fine to get the macro lens out soon.
