20 Gallon Long Pics

the web page for it on my site. I opted to go with Kribs in the tank, mainly
because my LFS had some in stock and I'd already purchased German Rams for
my 37 gallon tank. Pictures of my unfinished tank can be seen as always at

Looks good and if it's anything like the 20L I had with kribs back in high
school, you'll soon be swimming in fry, heh. I had a couple questions.
Is that a Nutrafin CO2 system you're using? Looks like the same CO2
diffuser. Also, how many watts do you have over the tank and what do you
dose with? I've read on r.a.f.plants that Lileaopsis can be a bit tricky
without adequate light/nutrients. I'm wanting to use that as the main
foreground plant on my betta tank, but have been a bit reluctant to try.
I've also got liquid rock water, so sounds like our water may be similar.
If you're having good luck with it, I may give it a go.
Also, when I tried to view your fry tanks link, it came up with "The page
you're trying to go to, does not exist or has been moved.". Thought you
should know.

That's the one, Nutrafin. Comes with the canister, diffuser and a couple of
activators and stabilizer packs. All the stuff can be purchased seperately
as well.

I'm using the stock dual light strip from All Glass. They come with 20W
bulbs giving me a total of 40W. Should be adequate, especially on such a
short tank. I'm using Kent's plant products for nutrients. Plant food, Black
Water Expert and some type of growth increaser. To tell you exactly would
require me to go upstairs where the wife is wrapping presents. I'm not
allowed free reign of my home any longer.

I'm afraid I've been a poor plant keeper up to date. I haven't researched
the plants enough to know the names of what I have and their exact
requirements. The only thing I was interested in was height, since the tank
is so short. :)

The CO2 injection and filtering over peat granules has helped. The water's
not super soft, but the hardness is helping keep the pH stable. pH has
dropped from 7.8 down to about 7.2 with the set up.

Yeah, that's the last tank page I have to do. The site is a work in progress
pretty much. Maybe since I'm banished from the upstairs, I'll do the fry
tanks tonight. Probably not though. :)
Thanks for the feed back,

compared to online prices, that I paid to much. I think the kit ran me about
20 bucks.
