Whatcha Think?!

here one of my 29s, had a bad parasite problem. little red worms. removed the UGF, cleaned gravel and totally scrubbed the tank. added in..well im not sure what it is called.

well there ya go. not sure what im going to put in here. i would like to get atleast 1 more bigger bag of gravel. i want to do another planted tank but not wth blue gravel! lol so maybe i'll pick up some brown or more natural looking gravel.

inputs are always welcome! so are ideas!

Looking good so far, is the plastic bits at the back for putting bubbles up in a zig zag, or are you planning on teaching the fish how to play donkey Kong... (Anyone old enough to know what I am refering to)

 

[ridewake210]

yea. plastic pieces r pieces of very thin plxi glass which i cut with a dremal and used aquarium silicone to attach them to the back wall. wish i hadn't put them at such a steep angle and used more. bubbles move pretty fast. i kno about the donkey kong. i still play it!!

 

[SamUK]

im confused.

what does the zig zaggy thing do?

 

[Ginge]

I think you can release co2 below and basically it keeps the co2 bubble in the tank for as long as possible for it to diffuse into the tank but this tank isnt planted so it does nothing.

 

[SamUK]

oh i see. so it makes it so they have further to travel to the surface?

thats a good idea.

 

[ridewake210]

Yes!

it is a diffuser. i just use it for oxygen at the moment.

 

[Ginge]

Does the job then i can see that your tank must be very very oxygenated.

Looks good nice bit of wood you have there. What you could do to make it look better, change the gravel to either more natural gravel or sand, and put in a black background, make it perfect imho.

 

[Ginge]

The wood looks fake to me could be wrong though.

 

[geo7x]

well i like the shape of it it looks like a good fake if its fake anyway.

I agree - would look better with natural sand or gravel and black background

 

[ridewake210]

haha

its fake!
thats some fake wood right there.
gravel i blue cause it came with the tank! got it for free. that piece of scener came out of my 120g and wa sin there with my needlesnose. but the needlenose had the parasite and soon died. usually there is a palmtree with a clear area under it where an airstone sits and the bubbles flow. just ran out of things. everything is in other tanks.


this tank will be a heavily planted community tank in a month or so. and i would like to use sand. and itd be my first tank with sand. so hm. lets see what i can do.
