I can't wait for the next trim to see how this tank turns out!

sorry guys, i forgot i didnt take a picture with the plants grown out. and so this past winterbreak i actually cut it AGAIN! haha, but so far nothing new, maybe in the summer i will Redo this tank with different Rocks and just the red rotala, and make a really deep red tank.

awesome tank!

haven't posted here in a while, but I really like your CO2 setup. I have 2x 10 gallons, and 2x 29 gallons just sitting here because I got really sick of DIY CO2. Where did you get your CO2 stuff from, because I need a cheap alternative to a full CO2 system.

thanks

the best way is just to invest in a regular regulator, and use paintball CO2 tanks or invest in a regular CO2 tank, the tanks last a while and therefore you dont need to change the tanks that often. i just bit the bullet, and i recommend pressurized for sure!

sorry guys! coming back for spring break i decided last minute to redo the whole tank, theres a lack of maintenance so i could not take a final final picture. I tried my best at designing the hardscape layout, usually id ask for input, it will still be appreciated but i wont be here after this week since im going back to school, so i wont be able to change it haha. But yea so i took out all the plants, and added one bigger rock and went for the triangle layout with plants only on one side and i wanted an open field on the left side because i made this a crystal red shrimp breeding tank. my hopes for this tank is for it to grow in nicely as well as a breeding grounds for the shrimp so that they can minimize the algae in the tank while im gone.

Plants:
rotala rotundafolia red (singapore) (right corner)
rotala green (right corner)
isoetes tawainese (mid left)
micro carpea (mid right)
HC
mini pelia (middle)

12 crystal red shrimp

This is the final picture of the tank before...the best i could do since im never home.

This is the tank now

here are some pictures of the shrimp

So yea i just hope they live...i used 60% of the old tank water...so i dont think cycling was a problem and i also used the same soil and i didnt change the filter at all. It is a little cloudy probably from filling and a slight bacteria bloom, but that will go away in a few days i predict.
