    Default tryumf's 5.5 Gallon

    Hey Guys,

    My initial plan was to get a small tank to put my Narrow Leaf Java Fern and Anubias in from my cichlid tank. I got my supplies ready and started to put the plants in. I didn't like it all so I decided to start a high tech planted tank.

    Equipment:
    CPR 16 Inch Aquafuge Light Fixture 6400K - 1 x 24W = 4.4 WPG
    Eheim Ecco 2232 Canister Filter
    10lbs CO2 Cylinder
    JBJ Dual Gauge CO2 Regulator w/ Solenoid
    Aqua Soil - Amazonia (3 Liters) - Powder
    Power Sand Special - S (2 Liters)
    Forest Sand - Orinoco
    Coralife Turbo - Twist 3X UV Sterilizer - 9W
    Hydor Mini Heater (7.5 Watt)
    Spiral Glass CO2 Diffuser / Bubble Counter
    Magic Lily Pipe Set 9mm
    Brass Check Valve
    1/2 to 3/8 Hose Reducer (x2)
    All-Glass Aquarium 5.5 Gallon (DIY Rimless)
    I followed these directions to take off the rims:

    Future Livestock:
    Galaxy Rasboras or Dwarf Puffers (I can't decide!)
    Amano Shrimp

    Plants:
    Hemianthus Callitrichoides
    Blyxa Japonica
    Downoi

    Stones:
    Ryuoh Stone


    Here are the pics:





    This was my initial setup but I didn't like the horn wood.

    I planted the HC wrong.
