220 Wild

[Keith Perkins]

That's interesting Len, I wonder if that means whatever is growing on the manzanita is originating in the water and not the wood.

You put PP in your bathtub? Are you single or just looking to be?

It wasn't one of my brighter ideas Keith lol

I made the decision to get back into wilds back in December. John (Snookn21) had what appeared to be some very nice Manacapuru Blue XL for $65 each so I ordered 4 of them along with a couple of Medium Royal Blues. While they were being treated in QT, I found out John was getting the Cuipeua Super Reds. I went ahead and ordered the Reds with the intent of selling the Blues. I actually have a potential buyer lined up for the Blues but they are now looking amazing. The Reds were treated in QT for 4 weeks and I decided to go ahead and put both the Blues and the Reds in the 220. I ordered some bigger pieces of manzanita from PC1 which should arrive in the next week or so. The new pieces are tall enough to go from the top of the tank to the bottom. The sump is now set except for some K1 coming from Josie and some 200 Micron socks that should be here on Friday. So here are the Blues and Reds from John in the 220.

LOL, only because I saw them come out of the labeled bag. Look at the video at 3:02, the two on the left are Reds and the one on the right is a Blue.

Larry, not to discourage you, because the manzanita does look good, but it's a bugger t keep clean. It grows that white fluffy stuff that you have to constantly clean. I go through stages with mine where I get so frustrated and sick of cleaning it off that I take it out. Then after a few months I miss it and put it back only to repeat the cycle.

Amano shrimp are excellent for eating that white stuff

A beautiful setup Larry. You did a great job selecting those wilds. They blend in well.

What lighting are you using?
