Hard to find good pieces like this one locally also. Those on the site look great though. My wife may be getting this for a Christmas gift though so I'll be super excited if she does or if she doesn't even lol

Hi Im sorry if this question has already been answered. But is this tank glass or acrylic? I was just wondering since the side panels seem so thick. It's a dream tank of mine

agreed, but a LOT of the photo don't load, maybe that means they are sold

yes, the pics that don't show are recently sold pieces.

About to order 25 Harlequin raspboras and 25 Cardinals. Wanted to add 6 more Amano shrimp but I think I'll wait. That will be all of the dither fish.


And we're soaking!

6 amano could hide permanently in that wood, I'd get more

[Adam_Parker]

25 Harlequin raspboras and 2 Amano shrimp arrived today. All are in terrific shape and eating well. Tomorrow the Cardinals hopefully arrive.

Very cool! What's your water change schedule? Adding any fertilizer for the plants?

[Adam_Parker]

I do 30 to 40% every 2 or 3 days and about 75% weekly. I've added some liquid ferts, micros and potassium, and root tabs for the wisteria. I have excel but it seems my plants almost do better without it.

Adam, are you QTing your new fish etc?

I didn't qt the raspboras but the Cardinals will be. I didn't have enough space to qt everyone. Plan on getting another qt soon

[DJW]

Considering where those Cardinals are coming from... you definitely want to wash your hands after handling the QT, and not transfer germs on equipment.

Some of them will probably be emaciated. If you don't have newly-hatched brine shrimp, you can try chopping some FDBW with a razor blade and putting it in the tank where there is good water motion, they are more likely to eat food that is flying around.

They were coming from rain forest international but I quickly cancelled that. I got them from wet spot tropicals in Oregon. Read very good things. Is that the place you're talking about, or the horrible RFI?

[Adam_Parker]

Raspboras came from Pet Solutions and they did an amazing job. Very happy with them and all are very healthy.

[jmf3460]

wetspot is very reputable in my experience. I've ordered from them numerous times and never gotten diseased nor poor quality fish,
