Sitting at my desk with my coffee watching the sunrise background light up my tank. Just envisioning it with plants and fish! Ready to order plants as soon as the light wire arrives. In Sacramento. For days.... (came from china). I'm stuck until lights are hung. Tissue Culture Plant List...

Progress!!! Soil on one side 2" of rock fence. Sand 1.5 so we'll still see the tops of the rocks. Sand goes in after planting. I am absolutely loving this, and to the person who suggested the lighten background? OMG I love it! Programmed sunrise, river for mid day, sunset and night. Ordered 1...

okay, this is very cool

I will check this out after I reboot my computer--it's not playing any videos.... ugh I love a lot of the waterfalls, esp the sand ones that look like white water falling. So cool

Writing, though not a hobby. Just finished book 42 I think.... My animals-5 cats, 3 dogs Machine embroidery 3d printing. Just got a 2nd printer as hubby and I fight over one! I swear, we need 2 apiece... Knitting Crochet Cricket crafts (though not so much anymore) Gardening when I have time and...

Love ragdolls!

more progress. Got the cover over the power sockets so water can't get in and cause trouble. Background installed. Hubby made custom brackets to hold light upside down and pointing up. Once water is in the tank, it should reflect even better. Likeing it. Tank is in position. 6" from back and...

Some progress. But the biggest news is I told my boss I wouldn't be back to work after my leave (father's death). So I will have all the time in the world to devote to this tank! Well, among other things lol's. Retiring with no shortage of things to do. Cleaned out half my office closet for...

I'll check out the lfs. Not as far as the one in San jose--brain blanked on name!! I'll also ck with you when I'm ready for shrimp. If they are young, I want them as one of the first in the tank in order to grow.. I have my stocking list split into 5 batches I think so shrimp, oto and betta are...

oh, let me know what you have. And how much etc. Where are you shipping them from? I'll ck out the lfs as well. I was going to order most of my fish online so I can get what I want and frankly, don't trust a lot of the local fish stores for healthy fish and I'm not going to quantine. My...

I figure they'll breed and increase? I can certainly add more. I also saw at the online place I was going to purchase a lot of my stuff (https://aquaticarts.com/) that they offer a mix of Neocaridina shrimp or a primary color pack of 3 colors. If they breed, will I end up with plain browns or...

Love the plants! Tank is cool too

thinking about adding 10 to a 72 gal. planted tank. Plan to add them first so they can reach adult size before fish are added

I also think it depends on size of tank. I just sold my 220 reef tank because it was too much for me--physically and am starting a 72 gal planted tank. The fact that I can use a small step stool and touch the bottom of the tank is huge compared to a 5' ladder and still could barely touch...

thank you!
