George's 29g tank New pics from 12/20/06

George Willms · 12-09-2003, 09:21 PM

Just for reference, here is a pic of my tank from may 13 of 2003. So you can see where I started . Hard to believe it was not that long ago!

Here is the last pic of my tank, taken on Nov. 14 of 2003. I plan on taking another shortly. I have since gotten rid of the Tonina as it just was not growing well for me. Guess it didn't like my water too much.

That tank is one of the best i have seen on this forum i reckon, i love every aspect of it, the colours everything, it works well, do you use CO2 or ferts?

hubbahubbahehe · 12-09-2003, 10:12 PM

ooooooo nice tank!!!!
so the tonina didn't like your water?? mmm, what are your water parameters?

DLeDeaux · 12-09-2003, 10:12 PM

What do you have for lighting?

George Willms · 12-09-2003, 10:46 PM

Holy .... that tank is awesome!!

Momotaro · 12-09-2003, 10:49 PM

That photo does not do George's aquarium justice. I have seen it in person and let me tell you it is super clean and absolutely gorgeous! This guy grows Eusteralis stellata like I grow Riccia!

Mike and George,

How far are you guys from NJAS meeting spot ? Maybe we should meet up an hour or so before and check both of your tanks. I will bring the camera and take some pictures.

BTW. I was appointed to be GAP (Growers Award Program) Chairman for NJAS society. I'm looking forward seeing some movement especially from both of you guys.

Are you familiar with below link ?

George Willms · 12-10-2003, 12:56 AM

I'm about 5-10 minutes away in Rutherford, the next town over from where the meeting is held. Mike is probably about 20 minutes further away than that. I don't have a problem with doing that before the January meeting. Gives me some time to get it ready for pictures!
