Hey pem if you want some plants to fill the tank out im about to prune mine(its getting ridiculously filled).....mostly red ludwigia and dwarf sag will be cut but probably have enough to fill a 5 gallon bucket if you want some lol. Going to throw it away other wise. Not sure how well it will ship in the cold but I think those two are pretty hardy.

Thanks yeah, I'll take some but not till the tank is going. The cold will kill them if they are not protected from it. Good insulation and a heat source will be needed to prevent it from dropping ambient.

I don't think it was meant to be mean spirited so just calm down lol....hes got a good thread going so far.

PEMfish · 01-10-2009, 11:34 PM

I was at a LFS were they had two 75g tanks on display. Boy do I like those. I could scape one so much easier and better than the 65g. I would have come home with one if I had a 48", not 36" stand going.

Now I am considering using the 65 as a reef and building an identical stand for a 75g and doing planted in it. I would them have to sell my current reef tanks but I like the 65g better for a reef than the ones I got.

The cost of doing this over using the 65g for the planted and redoing the current reef is about an extra $500. Maybe worth it.

Getting good amount of work done;
It looks alot better without the clamps.

I stumbled across these photos of some insane planted fresh water aquariums. I thought you might enjoy looking at them.

aqua forest aquarium

My favorite is #14.

Luukosian · 01-15-2009, 01:06 AM

Stand is looking close to done! Looks good.

Yeah I think thats the distributer for takashi amano's stuff in america(ada). He is like the mozart of planted tanks lol. Every tank I've seen of his is amazing! Check out the prices on some of his stuff though whew!

Not to fill up your thread with other tanks Pem but this one is one of my favorite amano tanks.
