Member's Tank Specifications

[j1ng]

Hi all, welcome to the Planted Tanks & Aquascaping forum.

I think it would be a great idea for us to keep a profile for our tanks in this thread so that past, present and future aquascapers can stay updated with your tanks. Additionally, questions can be more easily directed to those who are experienced with a particular plant or fish.

Basically, let's input the following details in an orderly fashion, you can copy and paste the following quote to a new message and simply fill in the blanks:

Aquarium setup

Just copy, paste and fill in the blanks. Do add your own numbering if you have more than 3 species of fishes or plants.

It would be also appropriate if we just keep 1 profile post to 1 tank you own so that searching for a particularly tank setup will not be too difficult. So, next time when you updated with your tank with new plants, just edit your own post to keep us updated too.

Have fun!
