Looks like you have a great start there. As for pics, I upload all mine to Photobucket, then paste the IMG code into your post.

haha got it thanks (:

jkan0228 · 01-08-2011, 01:15 PM

Well since this is my first actual planted aquarium, as you can see its quite symmetrical....

AquaZilla · 01-08-2011, 11:34 PM

How come I dont see any filter pipes? Where is everything hiding?

jkan0228 · 01-08-2011, 11:45 PM

Well this is the tank I said that has the SeaClear System 2 Aquarium - with built in wet/dry filter (: the top left hand corner is the inflow and above the P. Erectus on the right, you can see that there are a few holes... those are the outflow (:

I have a question, when I shut off the powerhead in the top right hand corner for a period of time, some of the plants start to pearl... When I turn it back on, the plants stop pearling all at once. Whats going on??

AquaZilla · 01-09-2011, 12:06 AM

Its because the plants are being blown around so the bubbles dont stick, they just blow right off before you can see them. Great tank with a nice filter, you should be happy

jkan0228 · 01-09-2011, 01:03 AM

Haha that's what I thought ;P... Although when I do water changes I get major pearling and I jusg love it!

but now with PPS-Pro I'm only going to do 30% every 2 weeks
Lol there are some downsides to this filter...
The compartment for the pump is so small that I can only put a pump with 400gph that's why I had to add a powerhead

But I got the whole thing and stand for 200$ off craigslist (:

You can always pull the sump and add your own

This can be a very inexpensive upgrade

I really like the cabinet!

Add my own what??
