iTrader Positive Rating: 100% Plant Points: 9455 | Hey every one My name is John Pirrone, all my friends call me Pepperonihead! I have been into planted tanks for aproximately eight years or more, can't remember! I have had fish tanks since I was a little guy. My tank now is a 72 gallon bow front with tons of plants, rainbows, some Apistos, some endlers, Congos, neons, etc. I am addicted and need to go to Plantaholics anonymous! |

Plant Points: 3350 | Hello All Howdy folks.
Well, I'm a science teacher in Long Beach, and I'm setting up my first(sort of) plant tank.
My fishy resume.....
Hahaha. I spent 2 years in high school working in the Petsmart Fish department. When I was working there I tried one plant tank, but was surprised when all of the Tetra soil that I bought washed away. lmao. (don't worry...super employee discount).
So now I have come around full circle, and decided to set up a 50g plant tank in my science classroom. Needless to say, this will have to be as DIY and budget friendly as possible. Anyone have any plant clippings/plants they want to donate to the youth of Long Beach? =)
So I've had a great time researching my new set up, and can't wait for the first Scape RL meating.
Greetings,
Jon |

Where do you teach? It seems we wont have a meeting soon but I am sure some one can help you out with some clippings. I wish I had a science teacher with this much interest in planted aquariums. One of my teachers has a goldfish in a 10g thats about it. |

iTrader Positive Rating: 100% Plant Points: 4975 | I'm Lu. Been in various segments of aquaria since I was a kid. Started with goldfish, progressed to carnivores (arowana, oscars etc.), then an initial run in with a planted tank w/ diy co2, after that saltwater fish and inverts. Right now, I have 40g saltwater tank with various soft corals, inverts and fish, a 160g outdoor pre-formed pond with goldfish and plants (the koi became raccoon supper), and my new 2 month old 100g planted tank.
My handle shrimpy1 came from saltwater cleaner shrimps. To my surprise, shrimps have become such a big thing in fw planted tanks. |
