New Summer Project - 50G Build

[mrzoggs]

i bought my fogger before i bought my waterfall. i didnt realize the fogger was supposed to be an addition to the waterfall. when i got home with the fogger i put it in a cup of water. it splashes all the water out in under 5 minutes. no matter what i tried ( blocking it with leaves, getting a deeper cup, etc) the water still seemed to get out. i bought the waterfall because the price kept getting marked down at the pet store i went to so i grabbed it before someone else did. there is a perfect spot in there where the water doesnt splash out but the fog comes out easily. whatever water does splash out goes right to the bottom and gets pumped back into the hole with the fogger. its the best ive ever seen it work.

hmmm....I have one of those as well. I didn't realize that worked so easily. I will play around with it and maybe do that to get it working. Still in the planning stages on how I want it to look. Thanks for the info though!

keep us updated on your progress and let me know if you have any questions i am far from an interior decorator but i can try my best :P

I will be updating. Like I said this is going to be a slow build. I am in the middle of moving, so it will not be until I am there before I get a good start on the build. I am trying to get all my ideas down now so I have a plan

Wow...it's been since May that I last posted here.....sorry for the really slow update here. We are now moved in, and about 2 weeks away from our wedding so things have been very hectic. Here and there I have managed to get a few things done. I have started building the waterfall and land area. In the pics you will notice I made the land starting higher up on the tank. This will allow me have some fish in here comfortablely. I will be using a regular power head that I have from my current setup to power the waterfall, and will be picking up a fluva filter in the next coming weeks. I have made places for some potted plants as well. Question about the plants, I want to put some worms or some kind of bug to help with the waste in the tank, especially around the plants. What would be good to use here?

I have also used a waterfall setup as some decor as well to make an area where my FBTs can get in and out of the water easily. I am going to start carving this week. Here are pics of my current progress.












I will have more pictures as I progress, and plan on updating more frequently then this.

Really? I would be interested in them, but I don't think you can ship those across the border. I might have to find someone around my area that is selling them.
