J.m.s. 55g Semi-planted Tank

[J.M.S.]

Been working on this tank since the beginning of June.

 

[wetdream]

good lookin setup! whats goin in it?

 

[J.M.S.]

Angelfish, Rainbowfish, Cory Cats, BN Pleco, and Nerite Snails.

 

[BerryAttack]

looks great! how many angelfish you putting in

 

[J.M.S.]

Just 2 Angelfish. I would be overstocked if I did more than that!

The Rainbowfish are in already. I had purchased 6, but 1 didn't survive the acclimation so I am down to 5. I dripped them for over an hour too! I'm guessing it was sick when I put it in since my water parameters were perfect. 0 Ammonia, 0 Nitrite, < 20 Nitrate.

Looks good... Except the blue gravel. It really takes away from the planted look. Why dont you switch it for realistic gravel? Other than that, it looks like it will be a very cool tank

 

[J.M.S.]

I had brown gravel in the past, but it looked so dull and dark. I got the blue to try and brighten it up a bit.

Very nice set up

But have to agree with crazyforcorydoras, blue gravel is a bit...... well, blue. Sand would have been a nicer choice to brighten up your tank.

But I can't say anything. I too, have had blue gravel in 1 of my tanks

But very nice scape and tank.
