I'll get it later= Meltdown!!

[Spine]

First my basement flooded. So I moved a bunch of tanks to do various things. Do to space, time to make repairs, money and electrical outlet locations etc.. my 120 gal. tank has all but melted down. Now, my hot water heater has failed and re-flooded my basement. I need something to look forward to.

I'm lighting the tank with 4 (54w HO) bulbs with room to add two more if needed and I'm using pressurized CO2

I have a school of about 30or so Von Rio Tetras (Hyphessobrycon flammeus) that I will keep in the tank.

I plan on removing the Swords and keeping the Anubias and Lace plants. Any suggestions for other plants. I want to get as much as I can at the Feb. meeting

If you want fast easy growing and tall, val nana goes like wildfire under good light, and it doesn't care if ti gets fertilized or not.

Same with the corymbosa stricta i''ll be bringing, and stricta is a plant that only works well in larger tanks - the leaves can get to 3-4" long, it'd actually be really nice in a big tank like this. I keep it in one side of a 55g and it dominates the tank.

Thanks Dave,
The corymbosa stricta sounds good. I can't believe how long it took for me to figure out how to post a picture from photobucket lol..:~(

Did you have some evaporation?

Sorry to hear of you basement troubles, that would suck!

Do you want stems? If I were you I would add at least a few until you get the tank going.
You could load it up with crypts. Sprialis would look nice as a background as the tank looks to be pretty tall.

You need some water sprite - the fine leaved kind!

I have the fine leaved water sprite, too, just not enough to split it off - like a dummy, threw a ton of it out a coupla weeks ago.

Next month on that one.

If you are in need of a foreground ...
I will bring a big bunch of sagittaria subulata, enough to probably fill half your tank.
