I know it has been quite the qhile on this thread...The tank is still dismantled due to unforeseen family issues that have come up. But i am slowly working on setting up a constant drip water change system.
The next major step is drilling the tank (which i plan to have done professionally since...
Honestly, I like the look of the sand. It reflects some light up to the plants too, which is always a plus. And the fish don't seem to care either. The agassizii has been pretty comfortable (making sure to put in his favorite coconut cave to sleep in too). I just put some tetras in with the...
I just thought I'd try it out. Of course I don't have the technical background on the new sand, but I will include a link to the product in case you want to investigate. I'd like your input on it.
One thing I notice is how freaking dusty it is despite being advertised as having 'low dust'. One...
Well...change is coming. The wife and I have decided to install hardwood flooring in the living room. This means that this tank will have to be dismantled. In the meantime, i'll be taking both the Angels and the Agassizii and putting them into their own 10 gallon tanks for the time being. The...
^Agreed!
Here's my experience:
I originally bought two angels and a pair of agassizii's for my 75 gal. The male was not only defensive, but aggressive too. He liked to chase the two angels around the tank. To combat this, I got two more angels. This made the Agassizii a little more cautious...
Thank you!
I'll upload some more recent pics tonight. Looks like it has been just about a full year since this project left the ground.
I've done a slight rescape since the driftwood has shed a lot of material into the tank, and down into places I couldn't vacuum it out of...so out came the...

this failed, lol...
This idea has been successful to date...I made an acrylic lid and cutout a hole using a Dremel, and put...
It's been a while since I have posted an update...so here we go!
I started out with the idea of setting up a tank for mainly Apisto's. That slowly evolved to including angelfish (wife likes them).
So I got the tank cycled successfully in about 14 days with the Ammonia I bought. Transformation...
My tank doesn't really have a lot of plants in it, and it was designed as such to cut down on the amount of maintenance required. I have a handful of Anubia Petite's in there, but there won't be enough plant mass to negate going through the cycling process.
The ammonia I dosed has already...
