Tank Description: 55 Gallon freshwater tank with artificial plants. Tank maintained with Fluval 305 canister filter, AquaClear Powerhead 50, undergravel filter, Hydor Theo 200w heater. Lighted with 48" fluorescent 40 watt Power-Glo made by Hagen. The color spectrum of this bulb is 18000K. The gravel bed consists of a fine pebble that is used for sand blasting. Then took some of the larger natural rock and sprinkled some on top of the smaller gravel to give it a more natural textured look. See additional pics for close ups of this gravel.
Fish Kept: Currently since this is a new tank since I am using my old for a reef tank I only have 2 paradise gouramis, 2 Angels, 10 cardinals, 3 rummy nose, algae eater.
Corals/Plants Kept: Tetra Water Wonders Artificial Plants and Artificial Driftwood.
Tank Size: 55

 Photo Caption: Here is a close up of the gravel
bottom that shows what I was talking
about in the description. The gravel
bottom is sand that is used for sand
blasting, then is lightly layered
and sprinkled with larger river
gravel to give it a natural look and
texture to the bottom of the tank.
The sand is about $12 for 50 lb bag,
it took 2 bags for this tank but not
all of the 2nd bag was used. Contact
me if you are interested in how to
clean this sand before you place it
into your tank.
