excel on a 90? you got more money than i do. excel isnt a fert, its an sub for your C02 that you already have. even though i swear by excel on small tanks i have to say sub the excell for a seachem flourish. Excel wont stop your plants from turning yellow. all that aside dont be discouraged and keep going. i would love to see pictures of you tank as it grows in!

Change the rocks on the right side ... reminds me of a certain body part.

 

[prettyrustyrobot]

:eek5:

ROTFL. Maybe the glosso will cover some of it up?

 

[Gatekeeper]

Besides the "ahem" discussion above, I say ADD MORE ROCKS. Not enough at all.

 

[rountreesj]

hey...the rocks will definitely draw your eyes in! focal point is on the right side...Haha!

 

[Basilisk]

Hahaha! Maybe some hairgrass?

I second more rocks.

HAHAHA .. didnt noticed that one .. i will change that one tomorrow ..

 

[guitardude9187]

+3 for more rocks

my water chiller fan broke

and i had to find a temp. fan . here it is .. its a little bit bigger that the chiller so it will be placed at the back blowing to the condensor.

and guess where i got it .. :icon_roll

the fan will be powered by a pc PSU i had laying around in my room.

about the part of more rocks .. any suggestion on where to put it ?

 

[MarioMaster]

was the fan rattling/making a lot of noise or did it just stop working? If the fan just stopped working the motor probably overheated and you should check the cooling fins and give them a good cleaning (this will also improve efficiency )

 

[coldfusionpower]

well . its just stopped .. when i turn the thing on, it makes a few turn and stopped .. the thing wants to turn but it looks like it stuck .. even if i turn it, it just stop after a second.. does that means its overheated ?

p/s: to others, i will post the picture tomorrow.. water too cloudy tonight .. and my camera battery ran out of juice .. charging now ..

 

[ubeceren]

I guess those rocks wil effect ph.Have u checked them?

 

[coldfusionpower]

update : the Resun CL650 chiller is in working condition now. just need some servicing at the fan motor, some wiring and added three computer fans at the side to keep the unit colder. and yes i did check the rocks ..

[prettyrustyrobot]

oh, goodness.

i love cherry barbs so much. i had 4 of them in my 10g tank and they are such happy and inquisitive little fish. and so pretty when they're colored up.

your layout looks much less anatomically correct now. great rock placement. looking forward to seeing your plants grow in!

 

[emmanuelchavez]

Hahaha! Maybe some hairgrass?

Haha, if that wasn't a joke, it should be.

I like this new scape... it reminds me of an anticline (did some mapping of an anticline in mexico... so I like anticlines )

 

[coldfusionpower]

my supplier doesnt have hairgrass at the time i buy the stuff . already order it .. still waiting ..will update later ..
