mianos Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Sure: Tank 1 in my lounge (about 2 months ago): Tank 2 in my study: and tank 3 in the reception at the door. that shot is ages old. It's a lot more overgrown now. My wife wants me to prune it down a bit. I'll try and get a shot of the planted tank I have on my desk at work to add here.

D6C1 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Great tanks! One day I am going planted.. one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenomena Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Nice tanks guys! The planst look GREAT. I can't even keep my java ferns thriving. I have them on driftwoods. But they don't grow well. Most of the leaves are brown/black with holes. I don't fertilise. I give 8 hrs light/day. The tank has lots of water movement = oxygen. Why?

[RK] Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Thats a great start, Repz. I'd add a black background though. It will give the tank much more depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndoboi Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Hi all, here's a (poor) pic of my 48x20x20 Tang tank. Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwboy53 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 This is my 10g (or 25L) planted tank. Started as an experiment but I got attached to it, and is now home to my first cichlid, a blue acara. Just click the link to see the pic, its too large to attach on forum, and im kinda lazy right now. my planted tank And not to worry, all the old inhabitants have been moved to my other tank, except for a golden sucker, and a bristlenose catfish. The tank has changed a little bit over the months but you get the jist of it. Oh specs, DIY co2, cheapo power filter, 11W CF, kitty litter substrate, liquid fertiliser every few days, or when i remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
