hey Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Everyone says the garden eels escape. I need this My theory on fish escaping... they only jump if you name them. if you are running filterless get a polishing filter to mechanically filter the tank like once or twice a month, should keep things looking crystally.

Throwing around the idea of having them hooked up, but only run them every once in a while. Or if I can slide the stand/tank off the wall, might run it full time. Just cleaning pipes sucks lol Anddddd I just got depressed. All this stuff is being delivered next week but : 11/19-21 - work trip to NC 11/22-11/31 - parents house in NJ for thanksgiving 12/1-12/3 - work trip to VA Then we will be at my wife's parents in Florida for Christmas. Fml no fish time Link to comment

brad908 Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 First batch has arrived. These will probably end up half planted outside and half in the sump of my other tank. They look nice and healthy http://s3.photobucket.com/user/ObeyHK/media/27B42C31-C1B0-4DF4-AA23-503C4FCEC72F_zpsid7rkwvf.jpg.html'> Link to comment
Rehype Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Those are beautiful specimens brad. How deep is your sandbed going to be? Link to comment
brad908 Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Those are beautiful specimens brad. How deep is your sandbed going to be? Thanks. 8". I ended up ordering some nice live mud, so I am going to fill an 8" cube with about 6" of mud, then 2" of sand. Then place the cube in the middle of the 18" cube and fill it in with sand around the cube. Link to comment

brad908 Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Letting the light dry till tomorrow, then hanging it. 12" above the mangroves should be good, right? Or go lower? Link to comment
Arkayology Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Everyone says the garden eels escape. I need this Niw choice! I've always wanted one of those. Link to comment
hey Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Letting the light dry till tomorrow, then hanging it. 12" above the mangroves should be good, right? Or go lower? I would assume that's fine because they get pretty damn hot don't want to scorch the leaves. Link to comment
brad908 Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 I would assume that's fine because they get pretty damn hot don't want to scorch the leaves. Back when I was starting the planted tank, I had the halide resting on the edges of the tank and fried all the HC Link to comment
brad908 Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Lol new groves are way too big. Gonna use the small ones, with the 8" cube, they come to a nice height just above the rim http://s3.photobucket.com/user/ObeyHK/media/F574B5A8-FFFD-4234-8277-A6F56064DD4B_zpsaydchypd.jpg.html'> Link to comment
