Take two as far as this 20H goes, 1st go around didn't get much feedback... I'm making a bunch of changes to the tank, taring it down more or less; changing substrate, adding 3D background (already purchased :hihi

, plumbing an XP3 behind/under background, and setting up DIY yeast CO2.
Tank: 20H (24"x12"x16") (75L)
Filter: AC110, AC50 (running) swapping for XP3.
Heater: 50 watt @ 80*
Substrate: Fluval Flora Plant Stratum
Lighting: Current T5HO 24x2 watts
CO2: DIY
Live things:
(8) Rummies
(7) Neons
(5) Cories, 3 are the same kind (Schwartz?)
(5) Shrimp, 3 Ghost, 2 Anamimo
(1) Albino Bristlenose Pleco
(1) Assassin snail
(1) Betta
Plants: various crypts maybe? I'll need help with ID when I post pics.
Melon sword and a few others, I can't remember the names :icon_eek:
The 3D background is an Aquaterra, made of some kinda dense foam, laminated back, textured front. I'm assuming it's going to float so I'm going to need to use silicone to seal it to the back of the tank once I empty it all out.
I'm wondering though once I do this, what's to come of the water "trapped" behind the background? I plan to run the intake(s) under the substrate by cutting an unseen notch in the background bottom and the intakes from the top corners... The rest will be all siliconed off to keep it in place and to keep fish from getting behind it. Any ideas? Thanks.
I'll update with pics and the set up once I get all my supplies together and the temporary holding tank set up.
Thanks again,
Brian
