Fishykid's 75G. UPDATE: New pictures pg5, and filter recieved!!!
Fishykid1's soon to come 75G
This is my future tank, not everything is set in stone yet. I've had my 20G high for about 9 months now, as I was first starting out my "plant" hobby. Now I'm realizing that it's just too small to have many large plants, or very many without it looking slightly cluttered.
This tank will be set up around the end of December. Please let me know what you think about everything as of now.
The stuff:
Tank: 75G Aqueon (48X18X20)
Stand and canopy: *building*
Filtration: Catalina 320GPH X2 Canisters.
Lighting: Custom Catalina 4X54W fixture--- 47" X 12" with 3" bulb spacing.
Moonlight: DIY: following my thread under DIY moonlights
CO2: 5lb tank, AZOO regulator; injected into a inline reactor *ACQUIRED*
Heater:300W Hydor Inline
Substrate: MTS layer, PFS cap
Flora:
So far...may change
Blyxa Japonica
cryptocoryne balansae -if it fits in
Glossostigma elatinoides
Hygrophyla polysperma "ceylon"
Hygrophila corymbosa 'Siamensis'
Hygrophila polysperma 'Rosanervig'
Java Fern
Limnophila Aromatica
Ludwigia inclinata var. verticillata 'Cuba'
Rotala rotundifolia
Sagitaria subulata - REMOVING
DHG- ADDING
Hemianthus callitrichoides- ADDING
Pogostemon Erectus- ADDING
Fauna: (tank will be way over filtered, 640GPH)
Aphyocharax anisitsi (15-20)
Hyphessobrycon eques (10-15)
Pterophyllum scalare (4-5)
Otocinclus vestitus (7-8)
SAE (3)
Aplocheilus lineatus (5-6) -ADD; my new favorite fish
Corydora's (maybe)

Yes to the t5ho. I'm going with 1 5000K 2 6700K and 1 10K. The fixture I'm looking at has 2 cords, I'm buying moonlights separate from this. They will be a full 48" 24 LED (2" space) moonlight.
I may add them into the list. I don't really want that many cory's though. Bloodfin and red minor tetras are my favorite fish. The front part will more than likely be flourite sand. I don't like the rough look of flourite to be so prominent, so maybe have a few cories.
As far as tank size, my parents told me this is the limit for my room. I'd rather not test this because they are already iffy about this much water.
Moneybags, I may be getting some leftover aqua-soil from a friend if he has any left over. I'll replace the laterite with the aqua-soil. Hope Philip has some left

:thumbsup: Cory's are the best! But 30 in a 90g?! My god... LOL.Yes to the t5ho. I'm going with 1 5000K 2 6700K and 1 10K. The fixture I'm looking at has 2 cords, I'm buying moonlights separate from this. They will be a full 48" 24 LED (2" space) moonlight.

As far as tank size, my parents told me this is the limit for my room as it's on the second floor. I'd rather not test this because they are already iffy about this much water.

I had a 150g for about half a year, and i couldn't keep up with it as a 16 year old... too expensive and too time-consuming. 75g is the perfect size (at least for me) right now. I think you'll be happy.
What's your reasoning behind having one 5000k bulb? Just wondering.
Interesting. I like experiments!
Gahh.. i didn't see that the free shipping offer was for 4 days only. QUICK, go mow some lawns!
Shipping to Raleigh will be around $70.... HAHA, no thank you! If you can't mow enough lawns in time, then maybe try and find some local people to do a group buy with? Worth a shot. I haven't been able to find flourite black sand anywhere else for cheaper.
That crypt is actually cryptcoryne usternia... LFS mislabeled but i still like it. It's melting, darn crypts.
for Philip,
Found my source for the MTS in the bottom layer.
Here's the initial picture with no sifting and just dried it with a quick blow dryer...

I just have to get enough for a 3/4" layer on a 75... time to do math!

2 half full ziplock baggies full of the dirt filled my 2 gallon (10"X7") a little over 1/2", maybe even 3/4" in most spots.
That's kind of what I was thinking... Hopefully it works like it too
I'm thinking I need about 3-4 gallons which is like 10-11L right?Tomorrow I'll be collecting more dirt from that same area, and placing leaves and other debri back over it
then I'll put it in a burlap bag wet it and set it in the crawlspace which stays warmer during the winter. Hopefully all goes well
Just out of curiosity, were they quart bags?
Aww, thanks! :icon_mrgr So, why are you putting it in the crawlspace, for storage, or for sticking minerals in it?Tomorrow I'll be collecting more dirt from that same area, and placing leaves and other debri back over it
