my new 20g planted tank - Page 8

Cool, zebras have a pretty good color on them. I just sucked one of mine up during a water change so he's not very happy with me. They might bully the neons a little bit when they get bigger. Im a sucker for a tank with just a school of neons or cardinals though.

I have zebras with neons and they don't bully anyone too much. Every now and again they'll chase one of my guppy fry but that's about it. They seem to leave the neons alone.

okay a picture update maybe later but he is the total cost i have spent with only one more fish to buy
$95.56 things i didn't buy-
driftwood
tank
heater
one of two lights. so this can be done cheaply. i think i'll post a vid so you can see the fish schooling. mainly the neons are the ones schooling though

Nice vid and good aquascaping too. If you click on the link in my sig you can see the progress of my tank, it looks like a forest now lol. Not nearly as well aquascaped as yours.

very nice tank. are those t5s? i'm going to wal-mart soon because my 2ish yr old fixtures bulb finally broke. i'm going to try out the grow lights ($10) because they cost as much as a bulb for my fixture at petsmart. have you started a cronicle for your tank on here yet?

michaelh218 · 02-26-2009, 11:42 PM

Yeah I'm using a t5, 36in t5 (4x39 watt bulbs) was only 114$ on ebay.

yungreefer2410 · 02-28-2009, 12:32 AM

more then my tank has cost me so far lol. but for t5s very good deal

yungreefer2410 · 07-06-2009, 12:51 PM

post pics in an hour or two

yungreefer2410 · 07-11-2009, 05:47 PM

i'll post some pics eventually, maybe today, but i did get some ghost shrimp and a new plant

yungreefer2410 · 07-12-2009, 01:36 AM

i'm going to upgrade the lights on this tank soon to 2x24w t5 then get a co2 system, suggestions on brand are appreciated. lights first, then co2 a while later

yungreefer2410 · 07-12-2009, 07:23 PM

changed my mind to 1x24w t5 to keep it low light, im also going t start using a diy co2

yungreefer2410 · 07-13-2009, 10:01 PM

the co2 has been started

yungreefer2410 · 07-14-2009, 06:22 PM

the diy co2 is working real well, i'm soon to build a diy bubble counter for this diy co2
