Thanks Orlando! I actually plan to contact/purchase from you soon regarding good recommendations for pressurized CO2.

I've been reading up heavily on the boards about the right setup, but I'm almost certain you could help me solidify a good purchase decision for your GLA products.

[jinsei888]

Received 10+ stems of B. Japonica and planted them across the back/right spread. I think I'm gonna let the scape fill in at this point and see what everything becomes in the next few weeks.

Wow! Looks fantastic. It's going to be even more breathtaking once it fills in. Bookmarked.

09.06.2009 - HC Growth Progress

Things are filling in slowly without pressurized CO2--using Excel Seachem daily dosing for now.

I'll be ordering from GLA next week for my first pressurized setup ever. Orlando is a stand-up guy and I'd strongly recommend him to anyone who is looking to switch into pressurized CO2 for the first time!

Added:
- Crystal Red Shrimp (C Grade)

That lookds really good, but I'd maybe put the H. Corymbosa in the back. That plant will grow pretty good and will over power the other plants in composition.

I've been thinking about it too recently. My initial plan was to continue trimming it down and replanting when they'd grow too tall...yipes, I may learn the hard way...hrm

It's going to look sweeet when the hc fills

[mountaindew]

This will be another good looking system when it has matured!
well done

Thanks guys/gals!

I'm always on the fence when I surf the FS section and there are great deals on beautiful plants...but I'm always hesitant on whether I should let the scape fill in more before I decide on changes...

One thing I know I am searching for is another schooling fish to compliment my 10 Neon Tetras. Any suggestions that you guys think would compliment well? I'm looking for fishes in the South American region to keep a moderate regional theme going...hrm...

Some ideas:
- Cochus Blue Tetras (Boehlkea fredcochui) - But I heard they can get aggressive...


- Rummynose Tetras


- Royal Black Emperor Tetras

[oldpunk78]

my vote is for the rummynose.

man that's going to look sweet when that hc fills in.

[Ariel301]

I'd also vote for the rummynose out of those choices. I'm not much of a tetra person, but they're very nice fish.

[jinsei888]

Thanks a lot guys!

I just came back from Ocean Aquarium and AFA with 6 Rummynose, 6 Ember Tetras, and I got lucky with a Zebra Oto (I have been hunting for one of these guys for quite some time now)!

I'll post pictures when they get nice and comfy in their new home.
