Archie1208 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Almost ready. Changed my mind about a 10 gal and went with a 20long. Aquaclear 30 had been running in community tank for almost 2 months and while 10 was set up it was cycled 0,0,5-10 (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate). Still have to create Xmas moss wall for back, putting some peacock on driftwood and flat rock ledge. Is there anything else I need to do prior to introduction of shrimp. Danios will move to community tank when shrimp arrive. Any thoughts are most welcome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pika Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Beautiful start! And I like your graceful drift wood. One of the mods might move this over to the journals section, but I hope you keep updating us there! :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4PC2 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Love the rock and the shrimp hideout, looks good. Going with the 20 L is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenteam Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Looks good all you need to do is give the tank a little time to mature since you did mention you changed your mind and went anew route. Other then that it should just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Looks cool, what plants are youbplaning to keep? What type of shrimp? I didn't see the thread where you were talking about it so I don't know anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High5's Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Nice start! Let it run for a few weeks test your water parameters if everything looks good add some shrimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie1208 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Tank should be fine very soon. Everything in the 10 went straight into this. BB has established itself in the media and had about three cups of the gravel in a bag in my community tank. I expect that there is a good cycle in it now, though not throughout all the contents.

Archie1208 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks for the comments. Again if there is something that I am missing please let me know. I am pretty pumped up about this. My fish are taking a bit of a back seat here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
