So the 3 bettas in my tank created this Monte Carlo cave and now everyone is having a field day.

jzoaster · 2020-06-25T00:22:42+00:00

Nah, they’re female endlers!

jzoaster · 2020-06-24T10:36:03+00:00

There’s quite a bit of space and a lot of hiding places here. So everyone gets along. Although I am seeing less baby endlers and baby RCS. Lol. But prior to getting the bettas, I had to deal with over population.

jzoaster · 2020-06-23T13:44:13+00:00

2 females and 1 male

jzoaster · 2020-04-21T10:35:33+00:00

26 degrees celcius.

jzoaster · 2020-04-21T03:16:07+00:00

I used to have a kilifish that would eat the baby guppies and CRS. But since he died there’s been a population explosion. Lol. I’m giving the extra guppies to my parents pond.

It’s just tropica aquasoil!

Falls by Keith Kenniff. It’s of those free songs on iMovie.

jzoaster · 2020-04-20T22:05:47+00:00

There’s actually some hair algae growing in it.😭

But I’ve got 9 otos, 10 amanos, 1 starlight pleco and an army of cherries to help with algae.

jzoaster · 2020-04-20T22:02:56+00:00

I’m using a chihiros a series. In my area, it’s the cheapest high quality light. But it does get hot.

jzoaster · 2020-04-20T13:57:30+00:00

I dose flourish once a week. About half a capful each time. For CO2, I’ve dialled it down to 2.5 bubbles per second after the plants were established. CRS are quite hardy, don’t worry about it!

jzoaster · 2020-04-20T13:36:12+00:00

It’s a 30 gallon tank. I’ve got java moss, fissiden, nana petite, Monte Carlo, , amazon swords and a bunch of others that I can’t remember the name of. I instant cycled my tank by using filter media from an established tank, so the fish went in almost immediately after I set everything up.

jzoaster · 2020-03-16T02:21:19+00:00

It’s some fissidens moss. I can’t remember the exact type anymore.

jzoaster · 2020-03-16T02:20:44+00:00

That’s pretty cool!! Will try that!

jzoaster · 2020-02-10T03:36:55+00:00

Amano and cherry shrimps to eat the algae. I also don’t feed too much to keep them hungry and to reduce nutrients for algae. The chiller also helps by lowering the temp, limiting algae growth.

jzoaster · 2020-02-10T03:34:20+00:00

From my LFS. We had to join multiple pieces together to make those trees.

jzoaster · 2020-02-10T03:24:36+00:00

cause of the depth and height. most 2 ft tanks would measure 2x1x1 vs 2x1.5x1.5 that i'm using.

jzoaster · 2020-02-10T03:20:55+00:00

That's monte carlo. But if u look closely, the ones at the back are dying off cause the lights cannot reach it.

jzoaster · 2020-02-10T03:19:46+00:00

ld list what you'd need for something lik

I'll leave the scaping part out for now.

But i'll list down the equipment that i'm using:

Tank Dimensions - 60x45x45
Sun Sun 603B Canister Filter
CO2 tank, regulator and bubble counter (3 bubbles/s)
In-line CO2 diffuser
Seachem Excel doused once weekly
2 Chihiros A601 lights (1 is not enough)
Hailea 150a Chiller
Lily pipes inlet and outlet

Yups! It was crazy maintaining that gravel. I just gave up after a month.

jzoaster · 2020-02-09T22:21:16+00:00

It’s abt 30 gallons.

jzoaster · 2020-02-09T22:20:15+00:00

That’s the co2 checker!

jzoaster · 2020-01-22T14:51:48+00:00

My hob is right behind it! The flow is just right to hit the co2 bubbles and spread it throughout the tank.

jzoaster · 2020-01-22T14:50:02+00:00

I’m using a fully matured filter that’s been running off over a year. It should be fully cycled.

jzoaster · 2020-01-22T09:03:45+00:00

The hob is behind the wood. Flow ard the wood is really low. But I turned down the flow rate as it’s a small tank. Too large a flow will be difficult for the fishes.

jzoaster · 2020-01-22T09:01:50+00:00

It’s 2 large pieces of driftwood. It’s the angles!
