Long time no blog?


Whoa! Many updates to come today. First things first the aquarium hood is now functional. Still have to add things like a fan and what not to rid the hot air or my tank water temp will increase a bit... which I do not want.
So I think the only way to get this rolling is to show a visual timline of my tank.. from when it started to now...

So this is what the tank first started as during the cycling process. No hood. A single 15W bulb. Clean by not very pleasing to the eye.

This is after cycling. All but some of the Bacopa died off and the good strand in the middle became a holdfast for the huge mass of Java Moss that was growing wildly. The 8 Danios loved the "Java Tree." It was a very minimalist set-up right now with I actually liked..

Then I moved to State. I have difficulties in travel and transport. Lost a thermomater and 4 of the Danios. My cycle crashed and I basically had to start over. Before I left I picked up some Water Wisteria... which seemed to be one of the best investments yet. Now the Java Moss was put back in the corner for the time being.

And this is where we are at now with 3 rocks... 5 Bacopa 3 of which I'm trying to bring back to life... and 4 Wisteria stalks. The hood is functional and adds the yellow tint to the tank which I like right now. Makes it seem like the tank is kinda under a canopy of sorts yet is still bright.

Current fish residing are 7 Zebra Danios soon to add some Cories.

I'm thinking of adding a air pump to keep the surface of the water broken and some anacharis...
