Hello all. Around the end of March last year, I setup my 33 long. One of my favorite sized tanks personally. It's a pleasure to work with and 'scape. My goal was to have a four foot tank that was not overwhelming in size. Basically just enough to have a decent planted tank and a bit of fish. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing COVID19 global pandemic and my spouse becoming seriously ill in April 2020 from COVID infection, the tank was thrown on the back burner and sat and cycled for about three months. My world and family was almost shattered... She did recover however thank God. There has been a lot that has changed since then. This tank has been setup twice since overall and in October, we moved away from our mobile home and bought a house.
Currently, I have the following in my tank setup:
Seapora 33 gallon long tank 48x13x12
60 LBs Caribsea Sunset Gold
Finnex Stingray 48 inch light fixture
Seachem Tidal 35 filters (2)
Livestock/ Plants:
20 Golden White Cloud Mountain Minnows
1 Blue Velvet Shrimp
Many Cherry Shrimp
Rotala Indica
Amazon Swords
Crypt Balansae
Crypt Wendtii
Crypt Lucens
This is the tank currently: A mess as I'm not really great at aquacaping, but I quite love it.
Here are some pictures of the tank before it was tore down in October of 2020 and re-setup in December at the new house:
When the tank was first setup
Finally I believe in either early June, I started adding plants and fish!
Started with I believe 10 Guppies. Never kept them before this and fell in love with them!
This is kind of what it progressed into and how I kept it until I tore it down. I loved it.
When the tank was tore down, I believe I had around 24 Guppies and 9 Glowlight Tetras. Along with whatever other baby guppies there were.
