S/A Buld

With the teardown of several tanks the 90g cichlid is now going to be a 90g S/A planted. The plants are sparse at the moment as I did a massive trim before planting. Still have a few more vals to line the back. Today I'll hookup the CO2 and start the EI dosing. Alternating days and alternating ferts. Thanks for the tip!

Sept 26 - Day 1

One week in. I was having a problem with too much CO2, gasping fish. 
Not enough plants, lots of fish, I'm guessing. And not enough time to monitor!!!
Built a DIY CO2 reactor so that I can take out the powerhead reactor and put the CO2 on a timer. So far, so good, no leaks. I'll start the CO2 tomorrow so that I can keep an eye on things.
I added a few plants in the front, raised some plants from the bottom and snagged them in the root mass (closer to the light and it adds a place to hide for the plecos). The cherry shrimp are taking a real hit, I'm losing a few per day. Levels are all good, hope it's just the stress from the moves.

Looking good! Now you get to sit and wait for plants to grow...
