the Wetbizquits journal o rama all in one thread, feat. several tanks!

so here are the current pics on a few tanks, this is as of end of aug.

i added some livestock to my 10g after moving it to a different room, as you can see im struggling with the switch from emersed to submersed lost quite a lot of HC and almost all baby HC, dosing dry ferts, toms method, and have co2 at 2-3,4 BPS, drop checker is yellow, what else should i do??
the tank this is before i moved it

will clean it up and organize it a bit and post soon

start up of my 20g long tank, experimenting with a show type quality, or trying to, building my own lily pipes today, but their not that fancy ha ha just using black piping

tank specs:
20g long from petco 1$ sale
pressurized co2 from azoo reg/selenoid running about 4bps right now
filtration ehiem 2215
lighting nova extreme high output t5 36'' fixture, running two 38 watt bulbs 5 1/2 inches above water surface for 11 hours a day, with periods of breaks in between
substrate, flourite, fluval shrimp substrate, a little play sand and black sand
main branch is a big peice of sandblasted, soaked manzanita
stand: diy to sit flush with 20g long tank, love it!

plants so far
java fern, peacock moss, anuibas, pond tall water plant, not sure of name, lil bit of frogbit

plans:

today building a custom spray bar and intake will post pics, then if it looks ugly i plan on using stainless steel for some pipes, will have some kind of shrimp, either emerald greens or CRS, thinking this tank will be for the emerald greens and i will start building my shrimp rack for the CRS
