My DIY CO2 system. two bottle of 1.5L plastic bottel pump into a glass bottle with plain water and go into the tank with a diffuser.

My first attempt on carpet plants, HC. spend 2 hours plantings 3 pots of them -_- tough but i hope the result can be rewarding.

that's a huge rock you got! btw what's that needle-like plant at the left side?

**Shadow** · 11th Sep 2009, 09:31

needle-like plant at the left side is cabomba

**zoothefreak** · 11th Sep 2009, 12:02

looks promising but i think the huge granite rock has no character perhaps u wanna replace it? I dunno just me 2 cents worth...

I agree with bro zoothefreak.
Try to find some "ugly rocks" at your local LFS. They will look much better in your tank.

the HC u bought is emerged or submersed?

**actorial** · 11th Sep 2009, 23:15

thanks for all the comment and suggestion

The rock i will try to find something to replace then. i wanted to sell it but no taker so i end up just use it.

the HC i bought is submersed. they are spreading already

i think is due to my no mercy dosing of CO2. haha! only 2 days and it start spreading. the tiny plant on the right of tank is 2 times the lenght in the pictures already. the flower also reach the top of the tank already.

will update few days later to let you guys see the different

cheers!!

Actually currently i have a Newly setup tank also with limited knowledge.

I wanna setup a second tank and make it better than the current one.

But i must learn more about aquarium and understand them well before i make my 2tanks.
