miniwhinny Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Your 'scaping is awesome! You make the tank look way bigger than a 20 and you have plenty of room for stuff up front. And like everyone else...LOVE the bubble! Link to comment
JamesHL88 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Well i removed my fuge today. My wife called while i was working. The power had gone out and my overflow lost syphon. Never trust a utube no matter how many times youve seen it hold syphon. So to avoid this problem in the future i removed the fuge completely. Also my cabbage and devils hand are at war and my kenya tree either got cought in the crossfire or took a bubble sweeper to the face. It doesnt look good. On a brighter note i can leave the house and not worry about a flood and all the micro bubbles the return pump were making are gone so its not a complete loss. Ill update my tank description tommorrow, but right now i have to sleep. Link to comment
Jai1985 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Im so sorry to hear that James... I think its time to buy a larger tank and have it drilled! I had my 20 long drilled as I have heard the nightmares of U tubes Link to comment

JamesHL88 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 JoelRHale i really like your tank especially the mangroves in the overflow box. I love topless tanks with plants or rockscapes breaking the water surface in the display tank. And by putting it in your overflow you have effectively hidden the roots from the underwater veiw. Perfect Link to comment
JamesHL88 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Ok i got the damsel today. I picked out the most tiny yt blue damsel ive ever seen. I got lazy and didnt feel like catching the cardinal. But this damsel is so small i dont see it bothering the cardinal for the time being. So im gonna try it with the 4. If aggression gets high ill remove something. But right now im pleased. ITS SOOOO TINY Ill try and get a pic up Link to comment

Perfect The trees are actually hidden in the rockscape. They are actually pretty big. Thanks for the compliment! Ok i got the damsel today. I picked out the most tiny yt blue damsel ive ever seen.

JamesHL88 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 This is the best shot i could get considering this is the only one that he didnt look purple in. My phone hates blue. So tiny Link to comment

JamesHL88 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 I was playing with my phone today and learned how to take some decent macros. Then this guy crawled out. Is this a stromatela? I found it on my candy cane. It appears to be a small fast moving snail with a flattened spiny shell of sorts. What throws me is that instead of just having antennes on the front. It seemed to have quite a few smaller ones poking in different directions. You can see them in the close up shot. Also i added a new FTS to my original post plus some old ones so you can see the evolution of this tank. Link to comment
Jai1985 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Yeah I would say its a Stomatella varia, nothing to worry about. Actually will help keep things clean, and they reproduce like mad. Link to comment
