15 years old and correctly installing 3/4" mazzei venturi fittings ...outstanding. Keep up the great work.

Very impressive for a teenager. Wait till you have your own pad to display an even bigger tank in.

woo hoo plants came and they are awesome quality plants. Got all the plants in on wednesday night but didnt have time to upload untill now. I have also added 15 black neon tetras and 5 ottos, and must say i prefer them over neons. Will be adding about 15 praecox next week and then another 15 the week after..

Ok here is what everyone wants. Only thing that i dont like is that the Heteranthera Zosterfolia is really small as Dave only had a tiny bit. This will hopefully fill the space in front of the Crispus to the right of the Pogo Stellatus.
Plants arrived

Here she is



More pics as it grows. Also got ferts today (KNO3, KH2PO4 and trace) so will be beginning dosing soon..
Also for Shake in the bottom pic you can see the fine mist like cloud of CO2 bubbles from the Mazzei. It really is not noticable unless you are like 10cm from the glass. Also the plants LOVE it.

It did, until i fixed it.. What i did was put a ball valve in the drain side of the piping. Then adjusted it so it is draing at the same rate as its pumping it back up. This takes some tweaking and you have to be carefull otherwise you can overflow you tank.

WOW looks amazing. You have a lot of talent in every aspect of this hobby. Can't wait to see this progress!

are you going to cover up the overflow box/pipes ?

OoooOo Nice tank this will turn out good I'm 16 and i would setup a big tank but not in my moms house lol.

[fish man 101]

Thanks guys for all the feedback... Yeah i am going to hopefully get some black acrylic to cover the pipes.. i no they are ugly. The macranda is growing well though so it should cover them soon.

Naa its fine in mums place I wont be going anywhere soon so its alright by me. She is a horticulturist so she loves the plants as much as i do...
