Regular Member Ms.Jenny Posted February 21, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted February 21, 2020 Hi all! My aquarium was delivered last week and I finally got everything mostly situated. Still waiting on my new filters to arrive, they shipped today thankfully! I’m currently running my two Fluval 206’s from my 29 gallon which are doing a surprisingly good job keeping parameters in check and the water clear. I’ll be upgrading to two Fluval 407’s with spray bars which will put me around 7.5x total turnover per hour. It will also look a bit better since I didn’t spend a lot of time cleaning and positioning the intakes and outputs since it’s only temporary. My fish Mama loves her new friends and everyone is getting along great! Can’t wait to get another fish soon. I’ve been spending a crazy amount of time watching the tank, it’s so relaxing! I also want to recommend TruVu aquariums to anyone considering a new tank. They have been wonderful to work with and the aquarium and stand they built are so gorgeous! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin koko Posted February 24, 2020 Admin Share Posted February 24, 2020 WOW! That is quite a tank! It doesn't look like a 100 gallon tank to me cause Im used to see the black boarders. Thats just a great looking tank. Are you going to add more plants? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Ms.Jenny Posted February 26, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 26, 2020 Thanks Koko! It looks smaller since it’s only 48 inches long, but it’s actually 24 inches wide as well. I think I’m good with the plants and layout for now, but plan on getting another fish soon! I think a calico butterfly. Can’t wait! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Acro Posted March 20, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted March 20, 2020 Stealing?!?! Not at all! This was a "give away" post right? I was simply trying to help Ms.Jenny rehome that laborious and cumbersome aquarium. I'm sure she wouldn't mind covering shipping too. But seriously, it's a beauty! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no.....it says "my new 100 gallon setup", not "Giving new 100 gallon setup". 😅 That tank is awesome, that's like a dream tank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had something kinda like that once, all anubias, but of different species: I'd like to do something like that again, just without the gravel (maybe sand), and only with wood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin koko Posted March 28, 2020 Admin Share Posted March 28, 2020 I loves those plants. Right now I have just two ferns attached to the glass. Zac will get upset if I take the one she loves so much. Acro makes the most awesome Anubias plant decorations. 👍 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member colley614 Posted March 28, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted March 28, 2020 I'd love to see some anubia inspiration. I'd like to make a raft of anubia and maybe a few terracotta pots with plants capped with pea gravel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't sold any rooted Anubias for a long time (actually I wasn't even growing any for a while) but now I've got 2 in the works! I'm hoping to offer them on our forum in the next few months . . . but as you know, they are famous for their slow growth! 1 hour ago, colley614 said: I'd love to see some anubia inspiration.

I've grown them on wood, rocks, and aquarium décor, but after they sold, I'd always delete the photos. I wonder if anyone still has the plants I shipped them years ago!)? Please tell more about your Anubias Raft idea, it sounds cool! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For an idea of what I have in mind do an internet search for raft style bonsai. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are any spots where water can get in but not out easily, the log will hold stagnate water. This could result in some kind of bacterial infection. 😶 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
