10 gallon planted

petfairy · 09-02-2006, 10:26 AM

This is my 10 gallon, i am currently using this as a growout for baby plants that i didnt have room for in the 20 gallon. The camera didnt really do it justice, as its much more appealing in person. The rocks in the tank are prettier than shown.

And these are some pics of the plants, they are loving the lights..

I am not running any ferts or CO2 in this tank, just a really high lighting. I believe the bulb is 150 watts. It was the lamp off of the turtle tank. I do have a heater, but its only on at night because the lighting heats the water nicely. The only problem i really have with algea is on the glass, so as long as i keep the glass clean, its not really noticeable. The only inhabitants are one molly and a bunch of snails... i decided to breed them in here. I dont know why though.

Looks good. I have a 10 that Im looking to start planting, slowly, but surely! lol. Don't have any special lighting though, and don't really know what Im doing, so Im sticking to the easy stuff to start. Have some Java Ferns and some Grassy looking things in there so far(just a little bit), going to add some more, and Moss along with some driftwood and rocks here in my next "revamp".

Neat looking setup. I've not kept sunset hygro for a long time. Never see it for sale around here anymore.

That is because sunset hygro is one of the hygro polysperma and is illegal to sell--but if you want to try some again, I can give you some--as long as you promise to destroy it

This is a pretty old thread. Has anyone heard from pet lately?

I haven't--I didn't even notice the date on it! It was in the new posts so I just responded!
