Started with a 10g that was given to me with some cichlids and a honey gourami. Added a Pleco who grew way too quickly, so i recently upgraded to a donated 29g. Currently have gravel with some java moss, 2 amazon swords and an anubias. My 2 adult cichlids keep mating so i have a 2 month old, a 1 month old, and 4(that i can spot) that the mother just let out of her mouth today. The Plec is about 8-9 inches right now, and the gourami is medium sized. Im running a Penguin 200 biowheel with a sort of custom filter insert and a a cartridge filled with "Hydrocarbon" activated carbon (good stuff), t8 17w single lamp, 100w heater, and a 4 inch airstone.
I plan to change substrates soon and upgrade lighting, but still undecided on my exact route. I may restart and plant the 10g first to get my feet wet with planted tanks.
Either way, I learn more every day. Im a rookie by many peoples means, but i did get my 29g to cycle completely in <2 weeks when i switched from the 10g, so i am doing my research and getting it all to work.
Hope to continue to learn, as well as have some local allies in the hobby.
