50G FW planted tank

[Midknight]

New freshwater up and running for a couple of months now.
Thought I would show progress right now as I just found a really cool surprise today.
Tank size is 48” long X 16” deep X 15” tall = 50G
This was to replace to 2 33G that I had. neither tank had much in it and they both really sucked at any kind of plant growth

So starting from the beginning...
08/23/07 – Just finishing up the stand and layout in my old place.



Working on the layout of the logs and that took a while (as normal)
I then cut a large number of glass into 1” X 1” squares. With a small number of pieces 1” X 1/3”



I then siliconed the glass into 1” stacks, stuck 2 of the smaller pieces and then a single piece on top.
When I was finished I had 6 glass stands.



I then drilled the 6 base points on the 2 logs I had and tied them to the stands with fishing line.
And this was as far as I got for a number of months as I was having a little trouble with the hood design.
