Maha, what are you doing for light / CO2 in that tank?
(or if he's not around, does anyone else know?)

Mahamotorworks · 07-19-2007, 12:45 AM

I just added CO2 that is dispersed with a Power Head. Lighting it a total of 4 48" 32W bulbs mounted in a shop light fixture. I changed the timmers on the lights when I was back home on R&R to 2 bulbs on at 8 am the other 2 bulb turn on at 12. The first 2 bulbs turn off at 3 and the last 2 off at 6PM so a total of 10 hours of light.

If you have anyother questions let me know I do lurk around here.

wow, that looks so good!

These are old photos. I will get my sister to take and load some new ones. The wisteria is gone Some how the fish would get stuck in it and die. The Sunsewt Hygro took over the tank in 3 weeks and it is now gone. The other plants went through a heavy trimming while I was gone but it is comming a long well now. I wish I had the Photos to load. I started a presurized CO2system when I was at home.

Nice community and the plants really are filling in.

I Want to Believe · 07-22-2007, 01:44 AM

Nice work Maha! Normally this would inspire me to build my own stand, unfortunately, I'm not very handy and wouldnt want to mess anything up. That and I'm really looking to upgrade my tank at some point. However, I think a 10 gallon would be great to take down to school with me! We all know with dorms and apartments, its best to keep things compact! Great work again, Maha!

I know what you mean by taking over your tank, lol. Every time I trim my hygro down, it stops growing for about 3 weeks, but them all of a sudden, within 3-4 days, my 75G is half full of the stuff, lol. Your tank is looking pretty good. How have things been going lately?

Mahamotorworks · 07-23-2007, 01:05 AM

I hope that Things are going well. I am back in the Desert. My Sister is taking care of it and before I left to come back she asked for the URL for MFT. I gave it to her but I havent seen her on here yet. I am going to e-mail her and get her to take some pics and post them here. so we all can see how the tank is doing.

I think that the next stand I build is going to be metal. I know how to weld. Plus it will be for a 180G tank. so the Added Strengh will be nice. 10G tanks are nice. If I could get fish here I would have brought a 10g with me to set up. Where I am there isnt any overnight mail so I couldnt even order them online.

It has been a long time since I have updated this thread. I need to take some new photos. The Tank has changed alot!!! The tiger barbs have been moved to a different tank, and are gone. The Rosy Barbs have all died off and as of today all of my Cory Cats have gone MIA. In the tank now I have the 5 Angle fish and some Black Tetras. Most of the plants were to much for my sis to take care of while I was gone so a lot of them have dissapeared. I have a much smaller sword plant in it. I tossed the original one not to long ago that would fill up a 5 gal bucket when I cleanned the tank. I will be going to only 1 tank in the next couple of weeks. I will get some new pics this week and post them.
