I just fell into a fantastic opportunity for a tank like I've been dreaming about for years. It's a custom made 72x30x24 inch, 225 gallon aquarium with a custom built stand, canopy, and 60 gallon sump. The original owner is a reef enthusiast who really took his time to make sure the tank was built and set up right. It's going to be a month or so before I get everything settled down and planted but I wanted to get the journal started now. :)

Lighting will be 6x 55 watt AH supply retrofits fitted lengthwise front-to-back. I'm considering attaching them to an aluminum frame that can be raised and lowered for maintenance or adjust concentration as needed to fight algae or slow growth. The goal is to illuminate the rear of the tank more and leave the front as algae free as possible. I've never kept a tank with a sand front but it seems to be a good idea with this one. I really don't want to have to maintain a huge mass of HC or Glosso.

One of the things about this tank that excites me so much is it's pre-drilled for a closed-loop. No need to rig some ghetto over-the-back spraybar like I've had to in the past. This is going to be 100% pure CO2 reactor love. *glee!*








Closed Loop



Acrylic sump



Since the tank was originally a reef the owner had the sump built with a separate refugium area. With two downdrafts from the overflow this is going to become a place to breed fish, store cuttings, and/or grow things out for flowers. It's the full section in the left-rear.



The other nice touch is the electrical work. Everything's wired into the panel of outlets and then hooked into the DJ stations. No more having to unplug pumps, heaters, or other misc. stuff during maintenance!





I hope you enjoy following this journey as much as I'm going to enjoy it. ]]> Journals Phil Edwards http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/journals/66756-journey-my-dreams.html My 120g, year one http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/journals/66644-my-120g-year-one.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:01:37 GMT Now that my new tanks are one year old, I thought it might be interesting to present a photo journal. I have 3 tanks set up last year after i moved to my new house: a 120g and two 90’s. This journal is about my 120g. The custom built glass 120g is 24”x24”x120’ has an overflow whose box is drilled with extra holes to permit 50% water drain and refill. The plumbing is connected directly to my main water system. CO2 is injected using a Gen-X 1000 needle wheel pump into the main return This has provided adequate CO2 despite the use of overflow and sump. Main drawback are the micro bubbles which interfere with nice clear photos.

The sump is set up refugium style with short Plexiglas dividers and several sections of 2” poret sponge. See http://www.swisstropicals.com/ I use the center section to house extra fish and plants. Moderate water flow is provided by a Quiet One 4000. I also included an inline 8-watt UV filter, which is run 24/7. This was primarily intended to avoid any green water. Later, I will describe why running a UV 24/7 may not be such a good idea. The substrate is ADA Amazonia which was layered over “Power Sand Special.” Lighting is a 4-bulb T5 HO Tek Light. I also have a Hydor Koralia Model 2 Powerhead Pump for extra circulation. The substrate, lighting, use of sump, etc, were all new to me. I was building and flying my airplane at the same time. I looked forward to the challenge.

Let’s start with the initial planting plan. As shown, I used a very large number of Cryptocoryne which mostly disappeared during the first few weeks. Same for the Lagendandra meeboldii ‘pink.’ Many however came back by mid-year. Same for the L. meeboldii. Shortly after the initial planting, I also added a so-called dwarf Crytpocoryne spiralis. This turned out to be a very robust species, and not so dwarf.

Layout


The hard scape mostly consists of 2 large pieces of driftwood, and a few smaller pieces and lava rock in the front which I covered with moss.. One of the large pieces of wood was not totally water logged and I attached it with rubber suction cups to the rear wall. The other piece came out of an older tank.

Hardscape

Prior to planting, I submerged the substrate for a few days to allow some of the ammonia to be released. I changed 50% water daily for the first week which was not a problem with my system. For the next few weeks, I changes water a few times each week.

Initial Planting


Water Clears after 4 days


As the crypts disappeared, the tank looked really empty. So, I added non-crypts from my other tanks – Blyxa aubertii and Microsorum. The latter included several types including needle leaf, and wide varieties. I also positioned a small cutting of trident and windelov which later dominated the top of the hardscape. Later, I obtained B. japonica which filled in nicely and seemed to thrive in the rich ADA substrate.

12-30-08


Aside from frequent water changes and small weekly amount of potassium sulfate ( 1/4t) I did not add fertilizer until week 4. Then I started to use KNO3 and two weeks later added phosphate. At the two month point, I dosed weekly with TMG. From that point on, I did macros as needed. I initially used 4 parts by volume dry KNO3 to 1 part K2HPO4 and later switched to 3:1.

1-9-09 The ferns on top of the wood have been mostly removed. The more mature reddish-green aubertii is quite striking.


Fish were added at week four. These initially included two pair of adult keyhole cichlids and a small group of German rams which I obtained from local hobbyists. One pair of keyhole cichlids quickly surprised me with a clutch of eggs. While this is normally a nice happening, it created havoc to the parva lawn in the foreground. The parents created new pits and moved the “wrigglers” daily. I tolerated the new landscape because this was the first time I had keyholes with free swimming fry -- a beautiful sight in a planted tank.

1-11-09 Keyholes tending their young and keeping me from removing algae near the substrate




Around the same time, I introduced 2-3 dozen smaller fishes – rasbora, cardinals and neons, obtained from another Raleigh hobbyist. I had no fear that the new fishes would upset the spawn. To the contrary, they might only heighten the parental behavior.

By mid-January, the keyhole’s were still bedding down their young at night. Both parents appear to take turns . One with babies, the other guarding perimeter. During this time, I allowed the plants to grow a little too large (including the B. japonica bush).. The German Rams also got into the action and remove plants from front left corner in front of their spawning pit. The fishes were happy and my plants had to take second position.

A little about lighting: For the first 2 months, I had been running all 4 bulbs of the T5HO Tek lights for 12hours/day. I figured 216 watts over a 24” deep 120 gallon tank would be perfect, if not a little less intense that I might even need. The T5HOs in the TekLight fixture performed much more efficiently than my previous T12 linear bulbs. All my tanks seemed to have more algae than I liked or expected, so I reduced lighting to 10 hrs with 2 bulbs and 5 hrs with a mid day burst using all 4. This seemed to work a lot better in this tank and in my others also with TekLights.

A planned aquascaped tank is somewhat of a new venture for me. For the last decade and a half, my tanks were about the plants and nothing but the plants. Fish were secondary. Sometimes, the tank was packed so full, that even if there were fishes, you would not see them. For example see my last 65 gallon in 2008.


Since I still wanted a predominately underwater cryptocoryne garden for my 120g, I started to add additional cryps. My notes say that in mid-feb, I added C. x willisii (aka C. nevillii) from my emersed culture, and C. cordata var. blassii and C. pontederiifolia (or “moehlmannii ”, as it was called by the friend who gave them to me). In Feb, I added some undescribed crypts which I picked up at August, I also added C.undulata (formerly called C. willissii)

Around this time, I agreed to give a photography talk at the Carolina Aquarium Workshop, so I started to take more pictures and improve my technique a bit.

As the C. crispatula varieties started to spread in the back corners (which I call “retrosprialis” and “balansae” as they were labeled by Florida Aquatic Nursery), I slowly removed the B. aubertii which grew into nice large specimens. After a few months, I also trimmed back the B. japonica which seemed to grow disproportionately large for the neighborhoring smaller cypts. The tank satisfied my desire for a nice low maintenance garden.

2-6-09 Blyxa needed some major trimming :-)



Unlike the tanks in my old house which were crammed into a room behind the garage, the ones in my new home were in my office. This was a much more prominent location of the house, so I wanted it to look nice and also with fishes. So, I added a school of 50 cardinals and some SAEs. They nicely accompanied the existing several dozen small fishes.

The next pictures show the progression over the next two months with the “spiralis” soon earning a prominent center location.

2-13-09




3-22-09 The rosaefolia is now more evident. The "spiralus" provides a nice focal point.



In early April, I removed keyhole babies ( the growing group of keyholes seemed out of place) and the next week went the adults. The parents were showing pre-spawning behaviour, including fanning substrate and disturbing the now nicely developing C. parva.

During April 2009, I also removed/cut back the java moss which had been growing profusely on rocks and wood in front. The moss would get tangled in the neaby parva bed, and when I tried to separate them, the parva would sometimes get uprooted. For the first several months, the moss nicely served their decorative purpose and providing a food haven for the young keyholes. For the first few trimmings, I used scissors inside the tank. To avoid small pieces of moss floating away and later re-establishing in unwanted locations, I later removed the stones and small pieces of wood and cut the moss out side the tank. After a few months, the moss covered wood seemed to stop growing. I am guessing that the group of 2” SAEs kept it in check.

Around that time I added 8 dwarf chain loaches (Yasuhikotakia sidthimunki), who almost immediately developed ich. They were not quaranteened, which was a mistake. First I did not medicate, figuring the UV would knock it out. After a month or so of noticing an occasional ich spot on one of the sids or cardinals, I finally resorted to Aquar-Sol ( 7ml /140g.). I generally trust this copper salt for a plant tank and especially in this case since most of the plants were crypts which tend to enjoy more than a trace concentration. The ich seemed to disappear, or so I thought.

The photo journal then had a 5 month pause. All my archived pictures seemed to be either of close-ups or of my other tanks. Full tank pictures of the 120g resumed at the end of August. My written journal notes were more intermittent, so apparently everything was fine during that period. The plants were maturing and filling in nicely. The so-called dwarf spiralis was starting to spread into unwanted areas of the tank, especially the front. It was getting more and more work to keep up with them intruding into the parva which uprooting both. In June, I decided to remove the nice group of adult plants from the center of the tank. This gave the aquascape an entirely new look and better achieved expectations for a relatively low maintenance garden.

My notes also show that I treated the tank again with Aquarisol in June after I noticed a few ich spots. In early August, disaster struck, I was away for the weekend and upon my return, I discovered a bad outbreak ick in the 120g. I resumed Aqarisol with a vengeance for the next 6-7 days, but it was too late.. Day by day, I found dead cardinals floating until all 50+ were all gone. Soon thereafter, I had lost a total of 5 sidthimunki.. The medication brought the tank under control, but not before I lost a ton of fishes. Interestingly, not a single rasbora, neon or SAE had died. I tried to figure out what might have happened and then discovered that the UV bulb had burnt out, presumably right around that time. It seem plausible that the in-line UV had kept the ich in check but did not knock it out completely; once the bulb failed, the ich took off. Thus the moral is to not use a UV continuously with mild and intermitted ich.

During the later summer, I started to remove more B. japonica and permit the smaller crypts to fill-in the front. For the next few months, I let the tank do its own thing, but this meant that some plants started to grow too much. In particular, the ferns on top of the drift wood had become a dominant feature of the tank and while it looked very nice, they were shading out the plants in the substrate. During this time, nevertheless, the Lagendandra and some initially planted crypts seemed to reappear.

8-28-09 Without the "spiralus," the aquascape takes on an entirely different appearance


9-13-09 But, the ferns seem to be growing too fast and requiring maintenance


9-18-09


9-18-09


9-18-09 The middle is opened up


9-27-09. The ferns have grown back again


I did not talk much about the red plant which I did not intentionally add to the tank. This Alternanthera reinecki ‘rosaefolia’ grew out of a crevice in the left piece of driftwood. It took a few months before it was even identifiable as a stem plant. I would typically pinch off the stems and only leave a small amount to add the only splash of contrasting color in the tank. During the period when I let the plants get overgrown, I allowed it to go emersed for a while.

9-27-09 I have allowed the rosaefolia to break the surface.


11-14-09 The ferns are back. This seems to be a recurring issue.


In early Nov, I decided to remove, but left behind roots and the base of a few rosaefolia stems, so I am sure that it will again surprise me with its interesting bright red color. I also did a major removal of ferns (trident, needle leaf, etc.) and opened up the left middle of the tank again, and perhaps did a better thinning.


The shading of some crypts in the middle of the tank may be limiting their growth. For example, the wenditt ‘Mi Oya’ has not developed as widely as I had hoped.

Here you can also see how dramatic is the Lagendandra meeboldii ‘pink.’


When I planted it last year, I did not pay attention to the orientation of the rhizome and clearly the new leaves are growing in the wrong direction – towards the front!. I now see some new leaves coming out of the back of the rhizome, so the front half of this beauty may soon be offered on APC. That’s it for now.

It seems as though I have once again invented a "need" for an aquarium (this makes number 4 within 6 months). Fortunately, or unfortunately, I have a brother (davemonkey) who is always more than willing to support me with encouragement and advice (our poor, poor wives). My guess is that it's just because he isn't allowed to have any more than what he's got already, so we can "scape" vicariously through each others tanks just to see what works and what doesn't (like completely ripping apart a 125 NPT just to put the Red Lotus in another spot and make room for some Stauo.porto vehlo - THANKS A LOT Kevin!!!):-k.

Anyway, so now I have these little guys who need a "temporary" home. Are you reading this Melinda? Temporary...um, whatever...so these poor little critters need a place to hang for a while until they get a little older, at which time I'll have no choice but to find some fish to take their place.

So getting on with it, this set up is in the works as I type. The critters are East Texas "central" newts (Notophthalmus viridiscens var. louisianensis - say that 3 times real fast). Here are a few pics:

This is Day 1 after the hatch - cute little fellers; they are in water that is high in tannins on purpose.
Attachment 10359

This is Day 2 in the preliminary setup, as they wait for me to make up my mind on how I'm going to go about this tank. These 3 gallon curved glass Picotope tanks are too nice to just toss some junk in there and hope for the best.
Attachment 10360

This is Day 6 - they are developing quite nicely. Check out the experimental foreground plants.
Attachment 10361

BTW - almost all of the plants that I will be using once it's set up are locally collected right here in Nacogdoches, Texas. I figure with a native critter I could at least TRY to use native plants in the set up. We'll see how it goes. More pics to come very soon.

This is my first time posting on here. I've been lurking and reading and lurking some more and this site has been a WEALTH of information to help me with this project that I've embarked on.... so I figured I'd start a journal up here, and maybe help keep someone from repeating mistakes that I have made while learning in the process.

This WHOLE project started.... (Drumroll please....) Because we decided to paint a room. (yes, you read that right.) It had this godawful flowery, stripey, yucky wall paper that my mother put up when this was her house. (she has since moved and I've taken over the house) It was her formal dining room, and we are converting it to a living room/family room type of thing.

A quick little bit about me: (this will prove relevant as you move through the thread.)

My nickname is McGyver. Anytime people need to figure out how to do something or fix something, I am always the first call. (Flattering, but sometimes annoying.) I spent sixteen years as a landscape Nurseryman, and can probably speak more latin plant names than all but one or two people in North Jersey. (Joisey as the New Yorkers call it... LOL) I got laid off a year ago and vowed never to back to the business, and my back thanks me for it. I now fix Glass. (Think fancy Waterford Crystal champagne glasses and all sorts of artsy fartsy stuff like that. Hey... It's paying the bills.) Now that all of that is out of the way.... Let me explain how this all really started.

"Honey... can we strip this wallpaper off and repaint the room?"

"Yes dear".

"When do you want to start?"

::::Mumbling to self:::::: (I don't really WANT to start) "I dunno. When do you want to?"

"Saturday?"

"Ok Dear."

So like any good man would... I made a godawful mess of stripping wallpaper, scraping Wallpaper Glue, Sticking my fingers together with said Wallpaper Glue.... and all that kind of stuff. Then there was the Spackling and sanding.

(I swear, this will get on to aquaria related stuff soon.!!!)

This is what I was left with:



While working on the room, I moved a few times, an old 85 gal aquarium. It was in my possession because I was asked to "Turtle sit" for two months, for friends that moved to South Carolina. That was two years ago. Way I look at it.... It's mine now. I had to let the Turtles go because they out grew the tank in six months. (and I told the folks that I did too.) So I said:

"Honey.... I want to set this tank up and make it the focal point of the room"

"OK. Now get painting."

::::Mumbling.... Grrrrr... Inaudible:::::

And so we went on painting.

And then it hit me! I'll set up a "Dog-Quarium!"



I don't believe Dear Marie was going to let me go through with that plan, but I DID get a chuckle out of her....

So.... I decided to set up an aquarium. I've had many over the years starting when I was just four. Then for my first job I worked at a pet store. I had Oscars then until my well meaning mother washed the windows directly over the tank and the overspray did in my Oscars. :(

Then I had a "Native aquarium" for years until my pickeral ate me out of house and home. I had him in there with some sunfish that were bigger than him... Crayfish.... etc....

But I've always dreamed of an aquarium with lots of gorgeous Cardnals schooling together, Kulhlies rummaging around......

So.... I like to do things right. First I was going to get one of those cheap photo backgrounds, throw some plastic plants in there and fill'er up.

But like the true Plant Geek I am.... I decided to go with real plants..... and THIS..... is where it all got interesting. I started researching lighting and substrate, and stumbled across "Concrete over styrofoam" backgrounds....

::::Wow. That looks cool. I can do that!::::

So then I spent a WHOLE bunch of time researching backgrounds.....

"HONEY!!!! Put the computer DOWN and come help me paint!"

"Yes dear...."

In the interest of not making this particular one TOO awful long, I'm going to stop here and continue with a new entry....
