New 58g tank setup *Pic*

[s3aL]

Well, finally got a pic of the tank up and running. Only been setup for 3 days so of course theres nothing in it but its still a start! Thanks to everyone I picked up rocks/sand/equipment from . Aquascaping doesnt look so good in the pic for some reason. Looks much better in person.

Nothing so satisfying is there?

That looks like DIY rock. Is it? Where did you get it?

who do you think? .

If I recall you recommended going to Aaron(airinhere) for some aragocrete.

That is some nice looking rock

Nice aquascaping.

keep your calcium and dKH levls up and you will have it covered in coraline in no time. If you have any questions, just give me a call. Or pm.

You will really like this months meeting if you can make it. I am outlining how to make the aragocrete and then what happens after it is put into our tanks.

Pretty soon, you will start to see diatoms popping up. If you can go without your lights on for a while, you can avoid this. I never could. Either way it only lasts a few weeks and then you start getting green algae and can start stocking your tank. I sometimes wish I had a fast forward button for time so I could just jump ahead a month at a time.

thanks for the comments .

Thanks again Aaron for your help. Ill be sure to give you a call or a PM if I have any other questions.

It does suck waiting but then again, im broke at the moment so maybe its a good thing .

As for keeping the lights on or off, I just turn on the 39w T5's sometimes. I do not turn on the MH's.
