The goby's about 16-17 inches and growing every day, it seems :)

The ray's only in there until I can build her her own tank. I'm going to be getting a male soon, and will be looking to mate. The new tank is planned to be in the 8'x3'x2' size range. I will probably try to put some large swords in it, and maybe some floating hornwort, just because I love planted tanks, and they help keep the water so damn clean!

Dang 16-17 inchers are pretty rare...thats cool though......that hornwort will grow like crazy....but really diggin the emersed growth. awesome!!:headbang2
 
Conner,what types of bulbs do you use? That is the first time I see someone using flourecent "screw on" bulbs. Would you recommend using them and do you dose CO2? Thanks.
 
I like using the screw in bulbs because it gives me a lot more flexibility to fine tune the amount of light, and where over the tank its concentrated. I have 8 bulbs in my hood. Right now I have 75w replacement bulbs in there (I think they are actually 18w), but I'm planning on getting some 85-105w (actual watt) bulbs soon. I'm not dosing co2, but I've been collecting everything I need to, and will start dosing once I get the new bulbs.

I have about 1.2wpg over this tank, I dose with Flourish, Excel, and Iron, and have it pretty well stocked. Here's the plant list:

Amazon Swords
Wisteria
Baby Tears
Cabomba
Red Ludwigia
Un. Ludwigia?
Hornwort
Marimo ball

All of them are growing fine under the current conditions. The hornwort and wisteria are growing (literally) about 1/2-1" a day right now. I'm going to have to start trimming them back pretty heavily soon.

do you mean diy as in you made that tank yourself?

If so, do you have a thread going on how you constucted it? I would really like to try to do that myself. I know there's threads out there about diy tank constructions but my god, yours looks amazing! Keep up the awesomeness!
 
thanks! no i actually dont have a thread on here for that tank. i built that before i became a member of mfk. im sure i have old pics somewhere but i'd be glad to tell you all the products and methods i used...
 
Sweet if you could just pm me them please that would be awesome. That way we don't clutter this thread up with more awesomeness than it can handle. lol
 
Hey I'm new here, infact this is my first post..

So this is my 90G running a Rena XP3, AC70, C02 on an inline DIY reactor, 4X54W T5HO's, Dosing EI method with 50% weekly WC's.
