Title: first fw tank(s) in yrs...
Post by: Vincenzo. on September 28, 2010, 10:19:48 PM
actually we set up two..

thanks to ottawadiscus, picked up a bunch of cherry shrimp and a tone of easy to care for plants today, for very inexpensive.

1. low tech beta bowl (for the contest)
gravel, and some smooth stones
­­blue male beta
4 cherry shrimp
couple plants

2. was going to do a 10g, but decided to go with a 2.5g pico
low tech tank, mini filter, very little light
gravel, and bunch of smooth stones
10+ cherry shrimp
2-3 diff types of plants


thanks again to ottawadiscus, went to his place today, he has a great 220 planted tank. but his basement is the hidden gem that people will have to look out for in the near future. he has some beautiful +++ grade shrimp on the go. cant wait till he start taking orders. ill be first on the list.

we`ll see how these work out... woohooo

They sound great Vince!  Nice to see you back into the fw set-ups again :).  They're MUCH less expensive if they crash  ;) ;)

Wow Vince surprise you made the pass over from the dark side... LOL Seriously ever need any tips just shout I ran a nano planted tank for quite some time successfully. Zima bought it from me bet he'd have some advise too... ;) They are fun a beautiful but a little more work than a larger sort of like a nano s/w but cheaper and easier.
