pwolfe's 90-p (early stages)

[pwolfe]

So I picked up the last 90p of the container from ADG in Houston this week along with some hardscape. The tank itself won't be set up for about another 2 months; when we move into our new house. I intend for this tank to be a learning experience where I challenge myself and my scaping abilities. Over the intended years of ownership, the 90-p is the canvas I have long wanted to play with.

Some specs:

Hardware:

-ADA 90-p
-Eheim 2074 w/ BorneoWild glassware run at 75% flow
-In-line heat
-Maxspect Razor 8000k
-Some manner of pres. CO2 w/GLA inline
-Amazonia in back and yet to be determined color sand substrate (leaning towards Sarawak)
-ADA Ferts to start and will slowly learn the dry fert thing after it gets established.

Flora:

Hygro Pinnifitada
Hygro Kompakt
Hygro Araguaia
...I like hygro's
possibly microsorum
A little HC in the back right to try to learn how to create depth that isnt really there
a few crypts
misc mosses

Fauna:

I need help here. I'd like a massive school of micro-rasbora but have not found much info on keeping them in anything but a nano. I like my tanks to have a lot of flow and am concerned how they will respond to that.

Pseuodomogil sp. (yet to decide)
oto's
amano shrimp

open to suggestions

Anyways, this is the initial layout I'm working with, its composed of branch wood and sado-akadama stone that Frank was kind enough to let me rummage through and cherry-pick.

Would appreciate input on any of the above!

I love that piece of wood, is that extra large size branch wood? Those sado stones show some beatiful hues, and that is just from the picture! In action underwater will probably be even better.

I'm with you on the hydro's those are awesome plants.

Any pics of the borneo wild glassware, head on? Curious on outflow diameter compared to the P-6.

Its one XL piece and 2 m or l pieces. I honestly dont know what size they are considered. I just dug through the bin ADG had them in and told Frank, "I'll take these". Every side of these stones has its own character. I could probably reuse the stones in countless scapes and you'd never know they were the same stone. The pictures on the website do not do these stones justice.

2 more pics before my wife makes me store all this stuff until the move! One of the full hardscape, and one of the dw in the tank to get a feel for it.

that wood is incredible. I think the scape with a gentle slope in the substrate, some java fern and dwarf hair grass and you will have a winner.

any thoughts on keeping micro rasbora in a tank this large/with a filter that strong (2074)?
