Thats the only one i can find, Nobody has it in stock smaller. Correction, I have 2 inches of clearance from the front

Last question before this weeks big purchases: Eheim Classic Series 2213 Canister Filter, Or, Marineland Emporer 400 GPH Biowheel?

Ok, Thought so. that gives me $30 for decor this week, Or, $20, Since the hydrometer is going to run around $10. Yay! Il have a plant in my tank soon. But since I now know I can get a plant, Think Java Fern would do ok? I want to end up with Java Fern, Micro Sword, And maybe some java moss, or some kind of short algae.

Im thinking I can do Green Hygro along the back wall, A Micro Sword in both front corners, And a Java Fern kind of in the middle, On both sides. Any ideas?

Lots and lots of plants. Definitely use that rock but have it off center to the left a little bit. Should look great then Two or three hyrgos in the back. Two on the left and one on the right. Then your micro in the front then surround the rock with java.

Something along those lines. Of course you can do this all over a extended period of time.

What do you mean by set something up?

All the plants you have are pretty hardy. Look up BW plants online. There is a good site somewhere on the web.

Yea plantgeek.com, And sorry for being so vague, I mean help me pick out plants ect. I think I showed you the picture i liked the feel of, Just found the plant they use for ground cover, But i dont know if my light is good enough, Or if it would do too well in Aragonite. Plus, Im more of a sit it and forget it kind of guy, And it needs a "rich substrate".

2 F8's, 3 Knight Goby, 1 Dragon Goby, Approx 20 Ghost Shrimp, 3 Green Hygro, 3 Micro Sword, 4 Java Moss... Listened to you with the fish, Because you know whats best for them, And listened to you on the plants, Because i love the way that would look.

The shrimp are because its actually cheaper online in bulk, Plus i have to order $30 or more from liveaquaria in fish, or i cant order at all.

Meant to ask you about that, They only have smalls, And no size specified, Kind of worried since the F8's will be 1 1/2 - 2". Think theyll be ok?

Oh you said liveaquaria, No they dont, Or atleast i havent seen them, Iv been looking

Oh forgot about the carbon and the conditioner! Thats great that your tank is finally getting clear.

Depends on the size of the tank and how many you want to feed. I would say a couple ghost shrimp every other day. What size tank do you have?

You should get the 10 gallon well planted simply for the breeding purposes of the shrimp. I would read that article that i linked you to again. Should answer your questions.
