I just thought that I would do an update on my 16 gallon because I had a little time last night to take a pic. Its not fancy, but it's mine and I love fiddling with it. I try to keep it low maintance, because I am in nursing school, and I have a pretty busy schedule. I have a cheapo camera, but I did the best I could.
Any and all comments are welcome. This tank would not be possible without without all the great people and information on this site. Thank you!
Does anyone see the evil monkey face in the bottom left corner of the driftwood?
Closeup of my petite "tree"
16 gallon All Glass bow front
lighting is 2 15 watts lights of America sunlight bulbs
substrate is plain black gravel
75 watt stealth heater
150 penguin run with with Aquaclear sponges and bio-max
Pressurized CO2 2 bubbles per sec (I'm getting a new glass diffuser. The one I have is too distracting)
moon light 6 blue LEDs bought from digikits on ebay
Fauna
14 gold cloud minnows
1 bristlenose pleco
1 Apistogramma cacatuoides
I use 1.5 ml of excel a day and 1.5 ml of flourish twice weekly
50% water change every 2 weeks
Flora
-Java fern ( I think it the red version, because the new growth is always red and then later turns green, but it might be undulata because it is a monster)
-Narrow Leaf java fern (Thanks Momotaro!)
- 'Windelov' java fern
-Bolbitis heudelotii
-Anubias nana 'Petite'
-java moss
Here's what it looked like in August
