#5 Lights Out or on or some combination of both - the white stuff is the floss from the borrowed 25 gallon tank. I will take it out in the morning.

Nice new setup, Tanked, what will you be stocking it with?

Jamnog · May 31, 2003

Jam, You nailed it, extremely excited

Alia, as far as stocking goes.

right now it has 6 pristella tetras (will end up being food I'm sure) and 1 albino shark.

I will get some sort of pleco today.

I will add 2 angels next week, 4-6 clown loaches the week after and then I don't know....

The tank should cycle very quickly as every thing in it came from an established tank. I am going lfs shopping today for more decorations. It looks very empty right now.

before lfs today:

keep up the good work :thumbs:

are you going to put a backing on it?

semper fi

Tanked · May 31, 2003

yes backing will be on it later today. a simple rock pattern so it does not stand out too much.

edit: back from the lfs and have put everything in the tank. will snap a pic later though as I stirred the sand up pretty bad and it is foggy. I got a Silk Pleco? (at least that is what they called it.) they did not have the L# for it. the "pleco" guy showed me in the great book O' pleco that it had a different name but I forgot it somewhere between there and here. It is a black bristle nose with little white spots and a white stipe on the top of the dorsal fin and the back of the tail. I will try to get a pic of him. CM in a month or two I'll be hitting you up for a Gold Nugget, L18 (I think).

here is after my trip to the lfs and a night to let the water clear. I will replace this pic tonight when I can get a good night shot of the tank.

edit: good night shot of tank.

wow

. What a great tank. this should be in the tank of the month competiton

Jamnog · Jun 1, 2003

its looking very nice tanked you have inspired me to get some backing for mine next week i think that might help the photo issue i have as the wall amplifies the green (so ive been told)

edit : i have taken lots of pictures and glued them together to see if i could make the tank look any better but its just not going to work i think
edit : whoops sorry tanked
