Got 2 more bags on order to finish filling the bottom then I gotta do some math to figure out how much I'll need for the 600

She's also started to be way more active, coming to the surface a lot more as well

Amazing how quick they can change … she should keep lightening up through the month here. I never used much sand. Just enough to cover some areas and be able to be turned over/sifted completely. Theyll always find a corner or somewhere to keep dug out anyway back to bare bottom. Wanna say i only had 4 bags, 80 lbs in a 10x3.

Finally got the rest of the sand to cover the bottom


Can already see a difference after a few hours

got a new camera and of course Ripley was the first thing i took pictures of

She doesn't like the algae scrubbing wand. I'm pretty sure this is her 'come closer and you get stung' pose, though I'm still a novice on stingray body language

OTp1144 beautiful fish and tank! I'm wondering what size it is, would you mind sharing? And you have a philodendron grow from your tank???? That looks pretty cool. No issues?

Thanks

Thanks! This is a 135g (8'x1.5'.1.5')
Philo and pothos - no issues so far after 5 years, going on 6

Thank you for sharing. That's a great setup

Looking great. Agree with HarleyK that philo looks the bomb! So is she a motoro or marbled motoro?
