There is a bit of experimenting going on in this one and I may regret it, but there is precedence. My "dirt" I got from literally scooping top(ish) layer of mud from the creek in my back yard. I had intended on just adding a little bit to get things started, but the pudding looked so good I...

So in my other thread Here, I had planned on doing a 40G breeder with 20G fuge/sump, but due to a likely house move in the next year, I felt like that would be a difficult setup to properly move. After much deliberation, I decided on a 20G standard/tall. I decided to have this be the thread so...

I wouldn't go that far, lol, but I do have a pretty good background in ecology and I'm not afraid to try things -- plus I have a resource in my backyard that not everyone gets. Going reef for a while was a good experience as well -- really appreciated the value of sump and refuge area for the...

Also, we have plants coming tomorrow, so next pics should be of something more interesting. I would up going with an ACO 24" light and will control with a smart plug. Also got a Seachem HOB to assist with filtering.

Well, after much back and forth about getting a 20G first in case we move and just moving forward with the 40G, my better judgement actually prevailed and we wound up getting a 20 standard/tall. I am not in love with the size/shape, but honestly after looking around, when we move I think We...

Since we are considering moving nearby in the next year, I am thinking the smart plan is to do a dmall display in the 20G long, and use the time and experience to build up some source plants and give my daughter some time to figure things out. Once we move, then get the 40G up (or larger) and...

This is going to be a slowly and probably rarely updated thread in the near term, but I wanted to get it out there and see what kind of feedback I get. I laid out a little background in my intro, but FWIW, I used to do freshwater using UG filtration and an ecosystem approach. I had very stable...

I'm just getting back into FW after about 12 years off of anything. Had simple ecosystem tanks in the past then went to reef for about 3 years before moving. I'm probably going to do a planted tank 40G breeder as a project with my daughter. Looking forward to whatever the latest ways of doing...
