This is Glitter's first swim in a lake in Boulder. We knew she loves the water, but when we take to the lake/river/creek she just walks in and run around but never full on swim like this. Yesterday, she saw a dog swim out to retrieve a ball and she just took off into the water and started...
She's gained 8 pounds since the day we got her, I guess you can say she's happy.
Took a while, this week training session is the heel command (super excited about this one)
Did a 60% wc and introduced the cories into the tank.
The two seeded sponge filter you see will be in the tank for 6 weeks until the canister filters will start housing BB, did it for an instant cycle. Doesn't look aesthetically pleasing but does the job.
Getting about 20-30 neons for the...
Update:
Hired a private dog trainer who's background was a former navy handler (trained dogs to be bomb sniffers) now works as a civilian dog trainer and has a working dog who sniffs for bombs at Coors stadium. He comes to our house to train us on how to train Glitter
In this picture Glitter...
Just checked on the tank before the lights went off, plants were pearling which is fantastic.
I might do a water change either tomorrow or Tuesday and add the cories along with the remainder of the plants
Will do
Update: water is clear now, still have some white fungus on the hardscape.
CO2 levels are at slightly below 30 ppm, currentlyfinding the happy balance.
Doing EI dosing with dry ferts
Disregard the the potted crypt balanse in the middle of the tank on its side. Just got that yesterday and...
I'm doing two, thinking of buying the next level up so I will have more room in the storage area for my CO2. I am also running two wave makers on opposite sides
Thanks. I'm tempted to get some platies or endlers to eat the fungus though
Did a 60% wc and tried siphoning the white fungus off the wood, substrate and plants. Also scrubbed the walls. Looks better compared to yesterday.
I'm holding off in adding the buces until tje white fungus dissipates.

Future crypt forrest
Future anubias forrest

I'm not a fan of livebearers and this tank isn't cycled yet. I was planning on transferring the 16 cories I have in my plant grow out tank along with two seeded sponge filters to do a instant cycle. I might look into Endlers, would that do the trick? or does it have to be swordtails?
I might...
Yeah I know patience is one option but was hoping for a miracle option.
Zero livestock... trying to get the perfect CO2 level first. I might do a cleaning tomorrow
Latest update:
Added the crypts on the ride side and the Anubias in the left side.

Unfortunately I'm getting the new tank syndrome. A white fungus is growing on the driftwood, plants, substrate and glass walls....arrrghggg. Any suggestions?
