I realized I hadn't put up really any updates in a while, and its the middle of the night, I'm awake, and I thought I might add one now since I plan on rearranging some stuff in my tank tomorrow or the next day.
This is kind of an odd shot of my tank in the dark with a flashlight shining down into it, but feels pretty
Raiders of the Lost Ark this way. Maybe that's just because its 2 am here. Looking back at the last pictures I posted I can see how much my java moss has grown, so I'll be trimming that up this weekend along with that long sprig of anacharis growing up the middle. I'll also be draining a few inches of water out of the tank for the entire weekend so I can finally glue the final tile into place on the slate wall (which
really looks unfinished in the picture I just posted).
Since the last time I've added my new Rena XP2 to the tank and it's currently being cycled by my Bio-Wheel. I think I'll give it another three weeks or so just to be save and then remove the old filter. I've also removed my powerhead and underground jet system, and I'm currently looking at another DIY to diffuse CO2 until this summer when I plan to build an inline reactor.
I had some complications at the LFS trying to get ahold of a pair of German Blue Rams, but if all goes well I'll have two of those by the end of next week and my tank will be all set.
My next big project will be constructing the stand I'm finalizing plans for now, as well as constructing the inline reactor. I'm thinking I might add some sort of plant booster to my substrate when my tank makes the move across the room since the tank will have to be broken down, but I'm still researching that.
I also seem to have my snail problem under control now that I'm back feeding my fish instead of using a timed rotary feeder while I'm away.
All's good.
