leo1234 Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hi all just wanted to start a journal for my tank it is going to be a tb tank, I didn't decide which one to pyt in yet but here is what I got so far. My tank is a 56 gal column, the substrate is controsoil, the plant I have in there are amazon sword red rubin sword, e tenellus , green lotus and red tiger lotus, frogbit, and red rooted floaters. So far there is only a single oto in there. My ph is 6.5 at the moment gh about 7 kh 0-1 tds 250 that is with straight tap water so I got a little adjusting to do. Here is a couple of pic's for now. It has been set up for a few weeks already, I'm just waiting for the weather to cooperate so I can get some shrimps in there. Hope you all like it! Comments and suggestions are welcome! Thanks for looking!! Leo. woopderson and SurraGync 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadenlea Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 It looks so clean before you add shrimp doesn't it? hehe. Is your wife going to kill you for starting all over again? I vote for shadow panda and blue bolt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vote for shadow panda and blue bolt! Lol yes it does! No the wifey will not mine because as long as she is happy she doesn't care about my hobbies cause she has her own hobbies that I will not talk about. LOL.

leo1234 Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 With this tank I'm not going to put any moss in there. And maybe change the light to the finnex planted + leds. Other than that I think shadow pandas sound nice but I leaning towards bkk's it's gonna be just one kind in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
