Hello all, i will begin a planted tank journal to show the progress of my 75 gallon planted tank. I will begin with a little history. I have been keeping tropical fish for over 10 years and have always been fascinated by them. In the past few years though is when i became a planted tank junkie. It began with a 65 gallon tall tank and petco sword plants and crypts. I eventually began upgrading light fixtures and started diy co2. This continued for some time until i managed to find this 75 gallon tank on the houstonfishbox. The tank, stand and canapoy cost only 120 dollars. I eventually transfered plants and fish over to the 75 gallon tank. This tank has been running i believe for almost 2 years but has been broken down and moved a couple times. Recently i have neglected the tank for some time due to a full time job and full time student. I have been able to recover the tank and growth is pretty rapid with all the species of plants. This is what the tank has equipment, plants and fish wise:
Equipment
1. 75 gallon oceanic tank
2. Catalina lights 48 inch 3x54 watt
3. Flourite substrate
4. Pressurized co2
5. Cascade 1000 filter
Plants:
1. 4x Giant mother sword plants
2. Assortment of crypts
3. Dwarf sag
4. Echonidorus tenellus
5, Tiger Lotus
6. Taller variety of sag
Fish:
1. 2x Discus
2. Assortment of lemon tetras and "white tip tetras"
3. 4x emerald green cories
4, Pair of apistogramma baenschi
5. gold siamese algae eater
6. Bristle nose pleco
I will try to update this as much as possible. More foreground plants will be added to the left side of the tank, possibly move some echonidorus tenellus cuttings. Thank you for viewing.
