This thread will waste your time! Go away!
Still here? You have been warned....

I am setting up this 50 gal solely to grow out plants, test different soil mixes and try my hand at some DIY. The plan is to fill up the tank with 30 gallons of water and grow some Tropica swords, moss, pellia emersed, and as the plants fill out plant them submersed. So basically a paludarium/growout/DIY experiment tank.

Quick stats:
50 gallon aquarium
2 x 32 watt T8 elcheapo 6,500k
Fountain pump
3.75 cups Topsoil with 1/2 cup bone meal (3-15-0)

Rules:
#1. No laughing in this thread, I take this hobby very seriously.:tape2:
#2. No talking about anything on topic, this tank will be boring and a waste of breath.

#3. Go back to #1.

Let the journey begin!

I hope the Commander has learned not to take on General Kitty Foo Foo. He misjudged him mightily- just because of the name!

Maybe General Kitty Foo Foo and the Commander can become allies to face Sergeant Slaughter?!

So nice to see that the commander and the General have made peace. Sergeant Slaughter won't have a chance. Now I know why the Commander was reading about the "Ariel Advantage" That must be where General Kitty Foo Foo comes in. S.Slaughter won't know what hit him!

So why aren't you filling up your tank? You could still have a moss wall, but submersed.
