DonaldmBoyer Thanks for the info, I love Lobellia Cardinalis. I tried putting 2 amanos, and 2 cherry shrimp in the day after I set it up, they died. I guess I jumped the gun a little, I'll try again soon. The tank runs at 70 degrees so it is a little cool, but can't amanos live down to 65 degree temps?
FelixAvery Putting a pic on your site would be great. I followed your thread and Steven Chongs as well as a little inspiration from the 2006 ADA catalog. As for substrate, I used a Dupla fert. tablet and some Dupla laterite mixed into my local river mud. In central Texas, we have limestone in pretty much everything, so I added a small piece of wood to soften the water.
Davidlim Yes, I am coming over to the "greenside". I have such a love hate relationship with reefs, so I'm going to stay green for a while. Keep a look out for a thread on my new ADA tank, It will sit on a custom walnut stand and have all of the ADA accesories (lilly pipe, CO2 beatle, Solar 150) etc.
freakmonkey1423 Thanks for the kind words.
I didn't know there would be so much interest in this little thing, I'll take some more pics and post them. I have been looking for an excuse to use my new D40x.
