Hijack!! My Tanks

Post by Erik » Thu Mar 02, 2006 5:05 pm

Here's some recent pics of all my tank.
I use diy ferts and co2 per my sig.

70G in bedroom.
For botia loaches I have clowns, kubotais, yoyo's, histrionicas, striatas,darios and rostrata's. The rainbows praecox with 7 M/5F.

In rec room
My 33G coldwater rivertank for hillstream loaches and brook loaches.

In daughters room
My 15G Tall sump equipped.
This is also my quarantine tank for loaches. The rainbows however breed from time to time hence the breeding trap with fry floating in there.

16G bent corner planted ,pressurized Co2, turbotwist 9w, jebo 828 , 36 led

Erik's got this cool setup for CO2 injection - Erik, you should post a shot of that! Healthiest damn plants I've seen in ages in a tank, with very high lighting and no signs of algae. Algae is the ONLY reason I'm not ready to show off my tanks' current situations....
Beginning of BGA in the bathroom skunk tank, dense (encouraged) algae of all kinds in the river tank, hair algae in the sid/kuhli/batik tank, and not much to look at in the QT where the horsefaces live.
Your vantage point determines what you can see.

Yeah Mark, I had some serious bg algae in my hex due to old lighting and sporadic maintenance. The angel babies been keeping me too busy, not to mention other stuff 8) Finally cleaned most of that tank up and had to move stuff around so I got after the 55 which was also suffering with green hair algae (again--old lighting, every light in the place seems to need replacing in January!).

Plus, I don't take such good pics... 8) One of these days I'll give it a shot now that the tanks are looking back to normal.

How 'bout a posting a shot & maybe some comments about how you set it up & how it works?
