squamptonbc Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 20 gallon long currently. Current USA light strip, sea chem filter. This tank is being torn down in a few weeks as I upgraded to a 40 breeder which I am setting up. Other then the java fern on the right, the other plants are fairly new only planted recently. 1 Quote Link to comment

My best friend had childhood takes of keeping a few in a 55gallon tank, and how they ate each other and any plants in the tank until there was only one left... Quote Link to comment

squamptonbc Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I had bought a 40B for a marine tank set up, then that tank had issues so returned to the store and they didn't have a 40B in stock, but had a 50 gallon which is the same footprint as the 40B so would fit the stand I had. Got it home and decided I didn't like the 20L I had for freshwater, so ended up turning the 50 gallon into a freshwater. (20L will be marine). The tall plant in the left rear has tripled in size in a week. 2 Quote Link to comment

Thunder Goose Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 There's also a site called the Barr Report. Whatever you do - don't "purchase" the digital Planted Tank Guide. First off you may never get it, second if you try to contact them about not getting it you won't receive a reply, third, most of the information is out there for free. Some of us were just hoping to find it compiled in one spot so we didn't have to spend so much time looking. 1 Quote Link to comment
