Rescape of my 55g FBT

[ericbrookey]

Just finished a major rescape. Gutted the entire thing to upgrade to a cannister, make maintenance much much easier and give them more water coverage. Installed a nice little water feature, too. Found the perfect corner piece I've been looking for. Still have work to do but this one should be around for the long haul.

Thing looks awsome! Any ideas for the sides?

Thanks! Still trying to decide on bg and sides. I found some cork tiles i like but I really don't want to just velcro them on. Little late for silicone I imagine. I've heard the fumes will kill the plants.

Added some foliage today. My LFS had some great Anubias that fit perfectly and I got the Dracaenea for half off cause it had a few dead shoots but I think it will spring back. Thew in a bunch of Java moss cause it looks like I may have 2 pregnant frogs.

What do you think?

It's looking good! I did have silicone kill an entire tank of plants at one point It was not good. I did use an excessive amount of silicone though, as I was trying to fix a land/water divider. I think the amount to glue in some cork and good ventilation would not have the same effect.

Thanks Amy. I might try adding some cork if I find the right stuff but I'm in no hurry. I need to stop fussing with it for awhile and let it settle. Now im just trying to figure out if my females are going to lay eggs or if they are just gluttons and I need to intervene and change my feeding schedule. No hibernation but summer is breeding season and the males have certainly been trying.

How goes the tank?

Time for a quick update. Added another piece of wood, few more plants, finally seeing some new growth from the Anubias. The ivy isn't doing all that great, wondering if I'm getting enough drainage in that pot. Also probably lacking in nutrients since it's not in the water column. More Dracaenea, still adjusting to being emerged. Frogs are doing well, lots of calling and night time activity.
