29 gallon planted freshwater tank
    #810710 - 04/13/16 05:51 PM (8 years, 9 months ago)

My wife had a 29 gallon tank that she set up for some american cichlids and barbs, but didn't like the looks of it.



She gave me some money and asked me to make it look nice.So I went shopping at my local fish store, and did a little research...and this is what I came up with.



The large white rock in the middle is holding down the driftwood until it becomes fully waterlogged.

I'll update once in a while, and we'll see how all the plants grow in.

I have added 12 neon tetras, 5 cherry barbs, 2 siamese algae eaters, 1 apisto, 2 amano shrimp, and 2 nerite snails.

I have a canister filter with a spray bar that disturbs the surface, and I'm using a pressurized CO2 injection system with my LED light, so the plants sucks up nitrates and phosphates, and saturate the water with oxygen (you'll actually see the plants "pearling" with small oxygen bubbles).

I'm dosing with iron and trace elements right now, and have seen 0ppm on ammo ia, nitrites, and nitrates for the last 2 weeks. If I noticed any of the plants struggling I'll probably have to either get more fish or start dosing with macro nutrients soon.

I seeded my biological media with media from a cycled 60 gallon. I also dosed with Seachem Stability for the first few days.

Yea I took the time to do my research, and I've had a few low-tech tanks in the past.

Thanks buddy for the inspiration :highfive:

All I'm saying is that I'm using the nitrate test per the instructions, and it gives me a color that most closely resembles the 0ppm color indication. Whether or not its actually 0ppm, 0.5ppm, or 2.5ppm...:shrug:

I will say that when i had my 60 gallon stocked similarly, I ended up having to by an NPK fert line for my tank because i couldn't feed my fish enough to keep the nitrates high enough to get the pearling that I wanted.

You can believe what you want to believe, I'll keep saying 0ppm until my tests say otherwise :gethigh:

Ah I gotcha, and yea I had considered a lettuce aeroponics system to run my 60 gallon waters through...but I'm finding that a heavily planted tank, co2 injection, and a couple of good lights can really eat up some nitrates.
