Description: 55g aga aquarium..black trim and silicone...all live..i use eco complete substrate i use a stealth heater and run a marineland emperor400 fliter(pantyhose on intake to save shrimp)..my lighting is a t5 setup about 2.5 watts a gallon...i only add flourish iron to the tank and everything is BOLD and healthy..a done right planted tank should really take care of itself..i change about %20 water weekly and filter pads once a month...my shrimp cory cats and plecos are also fulltime janitors....umm ya. any questions ask away

About Yourself: Uhhhhh... hey..names john..25..
