Well at least someone remembers me! :P Thanks for all the welcome backs.

Figured since I was back I should probably post pictures of our tanks. First, we have a Planted 125 Gallon. It's only been up around a week so the plants haven't fully settled in yet, but will. I won't bore you with a picture of our Algae Infested, no fish, 46 Gallon bowfront right now...

Yeah, looks like both of you joined after I did. I haven't been around since '05.... :(

I see the forums have changed quite a bit. New colors, not sure how well I like it. :( I kind of liked the blue w/ the fish for posts. :( Well, after having to sell all my tanks a few years ago I'm back. Actually I've been back since March just forgot about this form. :P I currently have a...

Actually at 2W (the low end) you don't need C02. It's going over 2W you do. But with stock lighting you can't even hit 1W per gallon.

To start with it "appears" you are still using the stock light. This isn't going to cut it for a nice planted tank. Stock lights average about .5W per gallon and you need around 2W to 4W per gallon. Visit www.ahsupply.com if you want to retrofit your current hood or bigalsonline.com has some...

It's 50% Flourite and 50% tahitian Moon Sand. This isn't my first tank or planted tank. I'm just at a loss for what to do with this one.

Thought I had stated, but it's a 46 Gallon BowFront. I intend on adding more corys, after I've had the tank set up a bit. And it isn't to low tech. I'm running 1x96W Compact Flourescent for 2W per gallon at the moment.

Well, the tank is setup. I have 4 sword plants in it at the moment along with 2 pieces of driftwood, 2 Sunset Fire Gouramis and 3 Bronze Cory's. Now, I know I need to wait for the tank to cycle before doing anything else, but I'm sitting here at a loss. I'm looking for recommendations on...

Well, got 20lbs of Flourite and 20lbs of Tahitian Moon Sand for a substrate. Picked up a 36" Satellite Compact Flourescent and it's up. :)

I'm waiting on our local fish store to open up now and going to go look at some plants, cycling fish, and substrate.

Well, after moving two years ago into a studio apartment I had to give up my tanks. Well, I moved into a house in October and finally today have a new tank. It's not up yet, but it's here. All I need now is a proper light (looking at a CoraLife 1x96W) and some good Substrate. It's a 46...

Unless some nice Fish Forums member helps I think I will wait a few weeks (maybe a month) and see about picking up a 29 or 40 gallon (36").

I'm in Boise, Idaho. Not as worried about a stand, I can always through something together (my father has a stack of redwood next to his garage about 3 ft. high and 4ft. wide of all 2x6 from a deck my step-brother tore apart). I'm not even as worried about filteration/lighting as those I will...
