Looks great so far! Any updates to report? I just stumbled across a few of your tank threads, and must say that your aquascaping skills are truly amazing!

Great looking tank!

Can't wait to see updates as it all comes together!

Hmm, good point. I've been worried about the peacock gudgeons eating the baby plecos since they're so tiny right now, but they are super quick and there's lot of cover for them to hide in. And I feel like the gudgeons have ignored the young rainbows I added to the tank (similar size), so perhaps...

Update - price dropped to $20

Welcome back to the hobby!

The eggs have all hatched and fairly sure there are only a couple babies left in the cave, but I haven’t been able to get the male out of it. Anytime I go near when he’s sitting by its edge, he immediately darts back inside. I’ve tried shining a light in it, but that just seems to make him go...

Sorry to hear about the catastrophe, but it really does look beautiful! Hopefully version 2.0 will hold this time!

We run both a 407 and a 306 on our 75 gallon. We added a spray bar to the 407, but not to the 306. Has been more than enough filtration for our tank! With light stocking you could probably get by with just a 407, but I’d rather overfilter than underfilter (plus there’s a backup if one ever went...

I have a pack of mixed vals for sale that I just pulled from my 75 gallon tank. Price is $25 $20 and includes USPS priority shipping. Sorry, no heat pack available! This is likely a mix of both Italian and jungle vals, as I've had both planted in my aquarium. There are at least 20 plants, plus...

Eeek! Apparently the sponge filter I added did not have enough beneficial bacteria, and/or the small water changes I’d been doing weren’t sufficient. I just checked and there was 1 ppm ammonia and 0.25 ppm nitrite! :eek: Quickly did a 30% water change and added extra prime. Going to do at least...

I was able to spot around 10 babies or so today! Most are out and about, but there’s still a few hanging in the cave. I haven’t moved the male back to his tank yet since he’s still spending most of his time in the cave with the stragglers, but that may change in the next couple days. Honestly...

Thanks - I hope the same! If for some reason she doesn't make it, I may try to make the trek via car to buy a replacement instead of shipping another to be safe. I think it'll be about 3 hrs round trip (barring extreme DC traffic), so doable as long as I can find a day/time that works for all...

On Monday, I pulled out all of the rock from the aquarium - currently just sitting in a bucket, waiting to be repurposed. I also pulled out the sword and crypt balansae, since they were outgrowing the tank - and man, did they have some big root structures! They’re currently in another bucket...

Oh, I remember! Hopefully I won’t have that many to deal with all at once. I’ll need to keep them separate like you most of the time, otherwise I suspect I’ll be overrun too! BigManAquatics, how’s your batch coming along?

Ah, apologies for the confusion. I did fill the 5 gallon from the original tank, so it should have avoided that shock. And they still are mostly yolk sac - if you notice the yellow balls in the last pic, hopefully you can see what I mean. I’ve since noticed a bit more movement, so hopefully I’m...

The breeding male BN has been officially dubbed Quasar. Not entirely sure why that name popped into my head, but it seems to have stuck. Yet to name the female though. Also, started a BN spawn log on the breeding forum to track progress/success - future updates on the fry will be posted there...

A few weeks back, I introduced my new male super red BN pleco, Quasar, into my 20 gallon long, which had what I thought were two female super reds. Side note - turns out one of the original two is a male that was slower to develop; no problems yet, but I anticipate selling him in the...

It’s official - a pair of Aphyosemion australe orange killies are coming! Going to pull out all the seiryu stone once I get home from work tonight, since the killies are especially sensitive to water hardness. I’ll have to rescape and reorganize some plants. Just trying to decide if I need to...

Getting a pair of killifish, Aphyosemion australe orange, that will go into my Spec V to hopefully breed. Also getting another pair of Pseudomugil gertrudae, just to add in some genetic diversity to my group. All coming from a local breeder in MD - super excited!
