stealthypotatoes Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 A couple days ago, I lost 80% of my fish, due to a retarded co2 system. Not only did I lose my precious 1 year old angels (ironically, I bought them on Valentines day last year when they were just little dime sized) I also lost the fry that two of my angels were caring for. Since this tragic event happened, I realized that this could be a good opportunity to re-scape the tank. Before the gassing: After the gassing: Lucky for me today, A lot of snow fell on New York so I stayed home Tell me what you think! Need a new centerpiece tho. What other plants should I plant? Im planning on adding some monte carlo and UG. Finnex Fugeray Planted+ Arrived today! Surprisingly amazon signed a contract with USPS, so now amazon orders can get delivered on sundays! Update! Rescaping with tombarr's manzanita. 3/9/14 3/10/14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water7 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I'm sorry that you lost so many of your fish. Your koi angels were beautiful. I have a couple of gold marble angels myself in a 29 gallon, but I got them in November and they are not so large yet. I am glad that at least one of your survived. The driftwood is unique and very beautiful too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty1776 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Awesome indeed. What kind of substrate are you using? I like the color and size a lot. Btw, what is that cone thing floating on the surface? Thanks for sharing and keep us updated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, what is that cone thing floating on the surface? Thanks for sharing and keep us updated! I'm using 1 9L bag of ADA amazonia aquasoil. A lot better than the eco-complete mix I had before the gassing. The cone thing is a worm feeder. Its suction-cupped to the glass. It helps with feeding frozen foods.
