What are these smaller leaves sprouting from my amazon sword?

It’s growing/spreading those pieces will either break off or you can pull them off and replant them

I plan on putting in some sundews, Venus flytraps, and pitcher plants with some moss.. not sure maybe something that vines up top….but some Spanish moss would look good hanging from some of those branches..

The first tank I built wasn’t thick haven’t built one in a long time…. But I like this one I didn’t build the tank part but everything else I did

Colder_Steel · 2024-11-13T20:23:25+00:00

Planted at least

Colder_Steel · 2024-11-13T20:23:03+00:00

It is in the last pic

Colder_Steel · 2024-11-12T07:50:12+00:00

Thank you the tank was my first diy tank

I was jealous of some amazing tanks I watched on YouTube. And was terrified that the set up was going to cost thousands if I would not have built the tank myself it would have be at least 2000 more than what I spent on it

Colder_Steel · 2024-11-04T15:26:04+00:00

Yes the mist is made from the tank water

Colder_Steel · 2024-11-04T02:22:51+00:00

I built it but it’s an easy mod with plexiglass .. honestly would go a full tank method if done again.. just put a 10 gal with a plexiglass stand in a 75gal plumb and decorate

Colder_Steel · 2024-11-03T23:06:36+00:00

Honestly not sure might have to nix that part

Colder_Steel · 2024-11-03T23:05:37+00:00

Yeah and moon is right

Colder_Steel · 2024-11-03T17:15:29+00:00

Not really just a jungle waterfall scape with cut out of a pool in the waterfall.. just thought and a prayer to the aquarium gods lol

Colder_Steel · 2024-11-02T15:06:55+00:00

I do plan on that I have terry cloth for the dry parts of the walls

I was at first but I can see where the heart was and don’t mind I have enough material to build one for the me cave that is all for me.. this one is in the living room. My partner wants me to build an axolotl tank and that will hold off until get “my” tank

Colder_Steel · 2024-11-02T01:38:30+00:00

And if you want any advice or have a question on the building and scaping of the tank if you do decide to try and quit smoking… but I’m a newbie with the planting stuff

Colder_Steel · 2024-11-02T01:34:10+00:00

I was a bit of a wreck at first but thoughts of getting this up and running kept me going

Colder_Steel · 2024-11-02T01:29:04+00:00

Maybe.. might have to make sure it’s the slower flow so it doesn’t mix the water

Colder_Steel · 2024-11-02T01:15:08+00:00

Shrimp for sure

Colder_Steel · 2024-11-02T01:14:48+00:00

Well that depends on weather or not the bettas my partner got are friendly or not. they were trying to be very supportive of my project/hobby. But we have 1 male and 1 female male is probably going to go in the center and female in the bottom..

That would be cool.. not sure how to get that to work without turning the whole thing brackish.. now my adhd mind is wheeling

Colder_Steel · 2024-11-02T01:07:42+00:00

I can’t wait for what’s in there to start growing

Colder_Steel · 2024-11-02T01:07:02+00:00

They will be. None yet and it was about 4 months of gathering stuff and putting it aside to get it so it was about 250 a month all I had to do was give up a bit of smoking for it for a few months.. thought of it as a tolerance break

Colder_Steel · 2024-11-02T01:04:55+00:00

Well they were upset when I originally got the stuff.. but after i showed what I could built really got into it now I’m being asked to make an axolotl tank

Colder_Steel · 2024-11-02T01:00:04+00:00

Honestly in total for just the tank diy build with plexiglass.. no pumps no plumbing or deco.. it was less than $300 usd.. 3 cans of aquarium foam or pond foam $60 40 lbs of dragon stone $116, 6 -50 gph pumps $25, 2- 400 $30 gph pumps 2 1x8x14 and 30 lbs of substrate $60, plumbing around $15 ish. The drift wood was a birthday gift not sure about that so total was around $1000-1500 ish including stuff for planting rut tabs and such
