Nice sequence of shots showing that process.

This picture gives the impression that you were on an archeological dig...

Did you find any gold trinkets in there?

I wish I would have found something of value in there to support my hobby. But, I did find this..

which will be of great value to my plants!

subscribed. If only I had the patience.

yeah this should be really good

I loves my mineralized tank! Guess where the soil came from? Torpedobarb! lol I live in an apartment and have NO patience, but even buying it and having it shipped from him was way cheaper than any commercial substrate, and so much nicer. I still haven't dosed many months later and algae is a very minimal thing even with my too-high lighting. I think you'll be pleased!

I got my minerialized soil into the tank and it is up and running. Here are a few pics durning setup

Got my moon sand around the edges...

and then my soil....

and then topped off and filled up....

I planted some plants tonight but didn't take any pics yet of that. Will get some pics up over the weekend. I am still waiting on some plants to come in yet so i will post when I get it fully planted

Your planted aquarium project keeps reminding me of other things.

Can't wait to see this one!

**monkeyruler90** · 09-10-2009, 08:55 PM

**yikesjason** · 09-10-2009, 09:03 PM

Those red rocks are going to stand out nicely in your tank. I am looking forward to it.

**dewalltheway** · 09-11-2009, 02:16 AM

The tank is not ready for an updated pic just yet. I do have some plants planted, but not finished yet. Been working on it as I get time. I still need to build a stand for it and it is just sitting on my old 55 gal stand. I may snap a pic this weekend to post. Thx for all the encouraging comments.

Hey, I just read your thread about getting new fish - sounds like this tank is up and running. Any updates/pics?
