Urkevitz's 75 gallon update 4/30

**Urkevitz** · 07-05-2004, 03:20 AM

I am just trying to figure out how to post a pic. What do you think. Any advice on posting pics, photography would be appreciated. Can someone explain to me how I can post a few pics with text between them?

I'd say you pretty much got the hang of it all! Any questions (on photography)??

I changed some things around, I can't seem to take a decent photo.

fishyboy · 07-10-2004, 02:45 AM

only thing i don't like is on the right side all the plants are completely seperate and not mixed in some more to make it look fuller, other than than it's perfect

**Urkevitz** · 07-10-2004, 02:48 AM

Thanks for the compliment, on the right side I am trying to leave some room for some rotala magenta to get some light. Hopefully it will take off soon and fill in.

Very nice looking tank and healthy looking plants Urkevitz. What are the stems in front of the watersprite in the left side ?

**Buck** · 07-10-2004, 11:00 AM

Oh yeh... the photo has great color, you should try a tripod to get the clarity....

Other then that I see no problems in your photo skills !

**Urkevitz** · 07-10-2004, 12:36 PM

Buck, the stems are Mayaca Fluviatilis. I plan on getting a tripod soon.

Does this tank have a sand substrate?

100% sand substrate. It is granitic topdressing sand from my golf course mixed with some tahitian moonsand to darken the color.

Overfloater · 07-16-2004, 11:40 PM

Looks good. Any problems with the sand?

**Urkevitz** · 07-17-2004, 12:27 AM

A little mulm collects on top of it close to the glass, but other than that I like it. It is easy to plant stems in and the MTS keep it loose. If I had a few bottom feeders the mulm wouldn't collect in one area as much.

Sweet... I just replanted my 40 breeder and am using sand as the substrate. Hopefully I have good results, as you have.

Urkevitz could u tell me what the foreground plant at the front of your tank is called, its very nice.

**Urkevitz** · 07-17-2004, 12:55 AM

I think it is pygmy chain sword. I bought it at petsmart, the motherplant is located under the driftwood most of the other plants came off of it.
