My new tank is done!

Post by TrebleClef84 » Fri Sep 11, 2009 3:39 pm

Okay, so not done done...the cycling isn't finished, but I am thinking about getting Dr. Tim's one and only (used to be called bio spira) to speed things along. But the plants and decor are all finished being set up!

I hope there is no such thing as too many plants...

Very nice tank!!! I like the look of lots of plants. Is that a moss ball in the front? I've thought of getting one, but haven't yet.

Yes, it's a moss ball. I have never heard of one, but we found them at the LFS and decided to try it. It's almost like having another pet in the tank. My husband has named it Moby and loves how it floats when you squish the water out of it.

Great layout! Dr Tim's One and Only ought to give you an almost instant cycle. It is exactly the bacteria you are growing when you do the fishless cycle.

Tetra Safe Start is also the correct species of bacteria. (Bio Spira was the first of these to be developed)

The other 'bacteria in a bottle' products do not have the correct species of bacteria.
38 tanks, 2 ponds over 4000 liters of water to keep clean and fresh.

Happy fish keeping!

One and only should be coming in on Monday, can't wait! I have 4 Kuhlis and 5 danios set aside at the LFS. I ended up with the danios because they reminded me of peanut butter log candy.

Got the moon lights in today, wow they look neat!

Do you think my tank is too small to try for a controlled java moss plant in the middle where the little rocks are?

There is no such thing as too many plants. Add the Java Fern!
That moonlight effect is really pretty!
