It's been 20+ years since I've had an aquarium up and running. Children have been born, and grown, moved out on their own. Suddenly! There it is! A space just made to house an aquarium.
Oh yes. I'm sure some of us have been right where I am now. Soooooo, time for some planning, building, and creating my first planted aquarium.
Aquarium :
42 gallon bow front.
2 bags of Florite
1 bog water driftwood branch
Refugium :
29 gallon aquarium
4 glass plates from a ten gallon
1 non anti bacterial sponge
1-2 lb "bag" a.c. (ok, old nylons)
1- 2 lb bag Matrix
1 1200 gph powerhead (return)
1 diy overflow box with drain hose.
1 35 lb cat litter box, drilled and filled with bio media and 3M scrubbies
The refugium is about to be built. The aquarium is filled, florite and bog wood in place.
End result I'm going for is 15-19 3"tal fish, with cories and bettas. Oh, and lots of low light plants.
Pictures of current progress forthcoming.
I'm.......BAAAACK !
