My 75g Planted

[Mr.Cal]

I’m new here so I decided to post some pictures of my tank.

The water is a little cloudy because I just moved a few plants and cleaned out the filter……I’ll post some better pictures in a few days.

Looking good

What's the stocking?

 

[Mr.Cal]

Well, here it goes
2 marble angels
2 gold angels
8 rummy nose
3 bleeding heart tetras
3 gold barbs
2 discus
6 rasboras
2 kari tetras
3 black phantom tetras
6 ? tetras (they are mostly red and the same size as the phantoms)

I think that's it. It's full lol

I have a GLO T5 light with a 54 watt bulb and I have a temporary light from my old 29 sitting on the lid (until I get another GLO light) that is 36 watts

I'm terrible with plant names, but I know that I have 3 red sword plants, 6 dwarf red lily's, and the ones in the back are crazy.....I have trimmed them, moved them, thrown a bunch away....basically they grow like weeds. Here is a picture from a few months ago that really shows the plants I'm talking about.

I'm not going to be doing much to it for a while.......mostly because I'm going to be living an hour away for school......but I want to try to get a carpet effect with java moss or something similar. That's really the only thing I have planned.
Well that and getting a bigger tank lol

I have two CO2 dispensers and I add two cupfuls of Flourish Excel every day.


wow, I just realized how much my red swords have grown over the past few months lol

Nice tank.
Word of warning. That air stone is driving away the CO2.

Well I have made some changes. While looking at my tank the other day I thought that It use to be alot brighter. I had already planned to do a watter change but once I noticed that the watter was green I ended up doing a 80% change. Now it's bright as hell. I changed my light from 12 to 8 hours a day to hopefully combat the problem. I'm not sure if that is the main component but it's the easiest thing to try first. Anyways, here is a little video I took today.

I believe I've seen that tank in person!

You need to get some Congo Tetra's. I want to go to Lansing and get some of those Albino Congo Tetras!
