    Default My 27g planted

    here is my 27g....

    Substrate is 2/3's Eco and the rest is black sand
    CO2 is running at 1-1.5 bps
    Flurish 2 times a week
    Water changes are 25% once a week.
    Fluval 2 is filter running in the righthand corner
    Heater will be changed to hide it better....

    Flora
    not sure what the broad leafed plant is but growing good
    Hemianthus Callitrichoides (Cuban moss) in front
    Myriophyllum ssp (Matto Grosso) behind that.
    Type of grass on left hand side against the glass
    radom pieces not sure what they are (forgot to write down)

    Inhabitants
    2 Ottos
    6 cherry Barbs
    2 Juli Cory

    Need some idea's for more... will be adding Amanno soon as clean up crew.

    Well that is my 27g....

    I got the Motto grass from PJ Pets in Richmond.... It is from the Aqua Flora Nurseries, a BC company... That stuff is growing so fast..... You kind find it anywhere they sell the products... They come in the plastic tubs... I paid about 10 bucks a bucket..... Well worth it for sure.... The Cuban Moss also came from them... Here is the site if you want more info.....

    AquaFlora - Nurseries & Micropropagation

    I will post some pictures of the plants some time tonight, have to work and all..... Some of them I need help telling what they are... hahahaha.....
