You tank if wonderful looking. All the plants bright colors and the shrimp look great. I was wondering though how did you make the album dvd-photo-slideshow?

Thanks

Very nice healthy growth Bigstick... Looks good!

Wow Jeff, I need to take some lessons. You are an algae eater! I am definately going to set up an autodoser now.

**bigstick120** · 01-11-2007, 01:57 AM

HA!! Thanks Bob, the autodoser is a very nice thing to have. It takes a little while to setup but after that you are good to go! I am going to setup another on my 55 soon.

That is a beautiful tank you have there! i wish mine looked like that

**bigstick120** · 02-09-2007, 01:30 AM

Thanks! Keep at it, Im sure your tank will come around for you

dennisfermin · 02-17-2007, 01:33 AM

Very nice. One day I hope my tank will look as nice as yours. I'm learning!

I really like your tank, bigstick. It's really healthy and colorful looking.

I have a suggestion about your fish. I really like the Harlequin Rasboras but the color of the Cardinal Tetras clashes with them, IMO. I've used Glow Light Tetras with Harlequins before. The orange stripe of the Glow Lights complement the colors of the Harlequins and they look great together. Also, both of the fish school at different levels in the aquarium. Cardinals aren't really schooling fish but they stay in shoals. They look really good with Rummy Nose Tetras. Well, that's my two cents worth. I thought that I would share.

Thanks for this informing post and I hope you keep it coming.

Time for an update! I had thought about submitting one for the ADA contest, not that I would win, just mainly out of curiosity then anything, but my recent wedding really put a dent in time for tank stuff. I was trying to see if I could get all the plants to look their best all at one time, something that I have never really tried to do before. I almost got there! HC needs to fill in as well as the Pogostemon yatabeanus to the left of the Limnophila aromatica, also needs to fill in a little. Other then that I am fairly pleased with this tank. The Eriocaulon cinereum is seeding like crazy, I love this plant except when it does this. You can see it in the photos. I have had pretty much the same scape for about a year and a half, I think this summer I will redo the tank. Anyhow let me know what you think

EC seeding

Ludwigia arcuata

Rotala sp. Mini

Wow really nice tank! So many healthy varieties! I really like the Rotala sp. mini. Let me know if you have any for sell.

Jdinh04 · 05-30-2007, 02:18 AM

Growth looks good Jeff, that Anubias barteri var. 'nana' is looking sharp in the position that it is.

PAINKILLER1009 · 05-30-2007, 02:20 AM

Very nice.
Love the layout.

Gerald the Mouse · 05-30-2007, 02:32 AM

I would let the foreground fill in a little more, then it would be ADA Contest worthy.

Betowess · 05-30-2007, 05:32 PM

Whooh, your Erio cinereums are PERFECT!. Downoi too. I only wish my Erios looked so fine. Are you using AS in there now? Nice, nice!
