Welcome to the club, bunnie!

We do have For Sale and Wanted sections in the lower section of the main page. I'm also a planted tank enthusiast, currently working on my second planted tank (55g). Since I started keeping fish in September, I've become addicted and am already wanting to replace my 26 and 10 gallon tanks w/ a 75 or 90. ;D

[jeremyh81]

As much as I would like to keep 4 tanks, my floor space is somewhat limited being in a small, 1 bedroom apartment. Hopefully, my finances will turn around this year and I'll be able to buy a house, which will definitely have a dedicated tank room.

[jeremyh81]

That's a new one on me! Very nice idea and the tanks look great!

[angel]

How have you got them anchored? Is it sturdy enough you've never had issues with tank weight ?That's an interesting way to get more out of your space.
Have you got or do you have access to temple plant? Ree123 wanted some and it's hard to find.

I wish I could be more specific but I'm plant illiterate. I'll be sure to ask him if there's more info or a pic.

Temple plant is called the Hygrophila coymbosa stricta

My Wisterias grow so fast in my 26g, that I could give away some cuttings, angel. I grew them from the 4" "emersed" plants that PetSmart sells in the plastic tubes. It's amazing to me how plants being stored w/ roots in silica gel and the rest being in open air can actually survive!

I think part of it is that I picked ones with the least amount of brown leaves. You can get PetSmart's Wisterias like this in a plastic tube w/ 3-4 plants for about $5 per tube.

Just stay away from the "water ferns" and "umbrella plants" they sell. Those aren't aquatic plants and will rot if fully submerged. I think there are other non-aquatic plants in the tubes @ the store. A good rule of thumb is that if you're not sure, make note of the common and scientific names and search the 'net when you get home. Having a cell phone w/ web access helps you make quicker decisions. This has saved me a lot of money when shopping locally for plants.

Also, check with the plant dealer if their products are snail-free. The package I ordered from a website came with some stowaways, which I think have eaten holes in one of my broad-leaf plants. Or that could just be one of the plecos. I haven't seen any snails since I crushed a few tiny ones found on the glass.

That's very possible since I hastily planted the tank and didn't prune and cleanse like I should have. Just goes to show what ADD and excitement will does to me!
