Hooray for Petco $1/Gallon sales!
Picked up a 40B (I've always wanted one) and retiring my old 37g.
Specs:
Tank: 40 Breeder
Stand: Petco Brooklyn Metal Stand. I wanted to build my own but this was on sale and was cheaper and safer than making one (I don't trust my wood work )
Filtration: Fluval 306 and [STRIKE]Fluval C4[/STRIKE] Penn Plax Cascade 700 (New!)
Heater: Aqueon Pro 200W
Substrate: Miracle Gro Organic Potting Mix (MGOPM) / Pool Filter Sand Cap
Lighting: 3 Clip on CFL, 23W Daylight - on 2 different timers (30 mins apart) and on a 5-4-5 schedule
Plants: Ludwigia Repens, Bacopa (carolinia?), Rotala, Hyrgophila Angostifolia, Hyrophila Difformis, Crypt Balansae, Crypt Wendtii Red, Java Fern, and Red Tiger Lotus
Fauna: 5 CPD's, 5 Cherry Barbs, 3 Endlers, 1 Fancy Guppy, 4 Platies, 3 Otos, 4 Cory Aneus (1 Albino, 3 Bronze), 3 Cory Paleatus (Peppered), 1 Pomacae Brigdesii and a few MTS
Water has a yellowish/brown tint to it but I have been doing 50% water changes daily. I have mature bio filter media on both filters to help support the fish but I'm still relying on the WC's.
Plants are sparse right now, I salvaged most of them from my 37g. The stems will grow and I can propagate from them and as usual the crypts are starting to melt.
