The black background is very old school, but I kind of like it and it's extremely easy to maintain. As you can see, I've planted dwarf sag in the back as well and removed 3 pieces of wood covered with pelia. This is a very easy tank to maintain until I decide to "Dutch" it probably at the end of the Fall semester. Happy Christmas to me.

Thanks for looking and comments are always welcome!

WINNING!!!

Very, very nice, Liz!

I have a quick noob question ... is that a regular tank that's just had the top rim removed?

Yeah... They have corrupted my thread beyond repair. I don't mind. Scape's done. People are here to just learn and ask questions and have a good time.

I like it too. Tbh, it was being covered by the crypts. When I Dutch this tank, it becomes a specimen focal point. Very traditional.

I'm in the US, mate, sorry. Not that they wouldn't survive the post, they would, but my pocketbook wouldn't.

Love the Crypts in this tank.

I don't know what it is with me and crypts. I'll be curious to see how crypts do in my tanks once I start experimenting with RO/Tapwater mixes. I know stems will tend to do better with slightly softer water.

Bleh... I have nightmares about Peter Jackson lookalikes and Charlie Sheen... WINNING!!!

Very, very nice, Liz!

Hahahahaha, probably TOS, but then they put a lovely little label in the bottom right (ADA) and then sell it for 4x what it's worth. I'm joking! This is an ADA tank, so they make it without top rims. Different glass, stronger. But expensive. The tank a little larger than mine (75cm) retails for $299 (Just the tank). The smaller tanks, half my tank's size, are about $100, so I figure this tank retails for about $200. I paid about $25 more (so $225 total) at the AGA convention auction and got hardscape, lighting, substrate, and plants. I did really well in that auction. Next year, the AGA convention's in St. Louis, so if I buy big ticket items, I'll have to ship. Easy enough to do, and worth a deal like that. I'd love another one of these for Marine systems. The glass is incredibly clear and I think with hallides or strong LEDs, a Marine would be stunning. Very trendy now to setup ADA tanks as Marines. Hahaha, no mantis shrimp, though.

ADA tank I think lol

Of course, I know it's an ADA tank. I was just teasing TOS. Some video...

Next Thursday, I'll be adding a small group of lamp eye killifish and some bamboo fish. My mom really fell in love with the lamp eyes, and I thought I'd accomodate her.

 

[lljdma06]

Lampeyes in the bag...

Will do another nice tank photo shoot when they are settled.

 

[Ps3Steveo]

I love those lamp eyes,

 

[Tetra-Chris]

I love Lampeyes too... How many did you get? Are they shoaling nicely in the tank?

I wanna get some for my little 35l - very jealous!

great Normani's, nice little killi's.

Sorry, I've been over at Marine working on my Marine tanks...

I love those lamp eyes,

I love them too, they were actually my mom's idea.

I got seven, I think 3 males and four females. The males do this amazing flaring dance that is soooooo cool to watch. I'll catch video tonight if they do it again.

great Normani's, nice little killi's.

If I had been more aware of them, I would have done a species tank, as they school rather well.

This tank may be dismantled.

I'm not sure yet.
