The goodies. 17 gallon rimless, small canister filter, inline heater, compressed CO2 system. Lighting is a AquaTop pendent (7,000k) that's temporary.
Gotta install ball valves. Makes life so much easier.
The installation.
Something new - lilly pipes. Not sure if I will like these. I've already snapped off a suction cup knob. I can imagine keeping them clean will be like all other glassware. Having one set installed, a second soaking in diluted bleach. Keeping them installed will depend on the PITA factor. Right now they are right at 10 on that scale...
Substrate, something I never used before. So far I like it. Very easy to plant in without breaking roots.
Substrate added, hard scape added.
Plants,
And a tree.
It'll definitely have a different look once cleared up and the light changed out. I'll update progress and write a review on the CO2 system , the aquasoil, the Super sand, and the new light I will be getting. Lighting I am thinking about going with something different. Perhaps ADA or Build My LED. Just want to try out something different we all are not using currently. Suggestions always welcomed.
Current plant list: weeping moss, cuphea anagalloidea, Cryptocoryne lucens, S. Repens, Bacoba A., Blyxa J., A.R. mini, pogostemon helferi, nesaea pedicellata golden. I also have a small form african fern bolbitis currently in the tank. It'll probably be removed.
Current fish: none
