thank you!

Made a list today of all I need to do before I order my plants. I'm hoping I can order by the 15th which means finding them all. My main place is out of stock of many so I may have to order from 2-4 places. I want all tissue cultured. No pests. Did some more landscaping after my morning writing...

I saw this tank online and a carpet path looks nice as well. Could still do sand in front to hide the dark substrate and provide sand for bottom crew. Thoughts? alternate to sand sort of what I had in mind but cleaner planting. More open space for fish, not so dense

Thanks. Good idea on sand path wider in front. I figure I'll give it a go, and if nature (haha) interferes, I'll let nature take its course and have an overgrown wilder tank. But doing my best to be sure there are no gaps in the stone fence and will plant heavy along path to help. Of course...

I can make my "wall" 2" tall and just have the top of the rock show. . I'm going to glue my "fence" in sections and make sure there are no holes in bottom for soil to get thru. Hopefully the carpeting plants will hold the soil along the path. Using 2-3 different ones.

I will research further! Thanks. How aggressive would a pair of dwarf cichlids be and would all cichlids be a problem with shrimp?

Okay, opinion wanted. I want a sand path--front, corners and then front to back. I'm thinking of using dragonstone rubble, glued in sections to help keep substrates separated. Plants will be on one side, sand the other. I can make it 11/2-2" tall, so some of the rocks will show--sand lower...

only issue with cichlids is shrimp and maybe messing the substate/plants

More progress-not directly for the tank. Emptied by 2 60 gal storages. I want to start with fresh water. Changed the cartridges on my rodi. Might need to replace membrane. No pressure!! And the 2 TDS are not working. Hope that's all it is. Cleaned out my brutes. Might get rid of 2 of them...

I will check those out as well. I will have some sand--front corner to corner and down the path and shrimp

Planting list maybe. Want to get as many tissue cultures to avoid pests. Looking at https://aquaticarts.com/ for fish and plants but will also ck other places for out of stock plants. Need to plan out a schedule. Get soil here, order plants, do scape and keep wood moist, and then plant...

This should cover all types of algae as well as all areas of tank. Will have water down 1.5-2 for the rainbows and maybe create a black mesh guard behind the rimmed potted plants on 3 sides Final Fish Stocking List (Planted 72-Gallon Open-Top Tank) Top Zone 10x Forktail Rainbowfish...

I saw on amazon. but they don't come large enough. I need 47x19x19. I may keep looking

I like the sand waterfalls. maybe something to add later but they are cool

is the light bar inside the tank? Or outside. I don't have any room behind the tank. And the light screen. I think I've seen those. Do they attached to the tank? My concern is using a magnet cleaner and having to remove whatever background so I thought something on the wall behind the tank...

Ordered: Outlet waterproof cover for behind tank Soil-10lbs fine, 24 lbs standard black ultum nature sys controsoil Hanging kit for light... Didn't realize the tank supports didn't come with them and a bunch of other stuff to start this baby. Debating on background. If I do one, might put on...

Tank is now on the stand. It was a bit nerve-wracking as my engineer hubby used his cherry picker to lift it! He did this years ago with my 125 saltwater tank (no longer have) but that was in the living room and this tank is in a 10x10 office. We shoved my desk against a wall and barely had...

Okay, this is closer to what I'll do. Need to make smaller chunks of rocks for the path and not sure on the stones front left. Might place them around and let them add texture/depth with plants around them? Hoping this weekend to get the tank moved up onto the stand. Driftwood going into the...

I'm hopinmg I can start more people doing fresh lol's
