Hello

[derajer]

My name is Jared and I am fairly new to the hobby. I have tried to put together as interesting of a tank as possible but, since I live in Iowa and I started my tank in the middle of winter the available selection could be a lot better.

I would gladly welcome any hints, comments, questions, or bad jokes about my tank

29 Gallon
Using the light the came with the tank
UG Filter
Powerfilter
Natural theme with driftwood and gravel
1 Aponogeton Ulvaceous
2 Anubias
2 Java Fern
1 Mass of Java Moss

1 Dwarf African Frog
1 Macrobrachium shrimp of unknown species
1 Missing Flower Shrimp
1 Red tailed Shark
2 Algae Eating Sharks
2 Weather Loaches
3 Upside Down Catfish
5 Neon Tetras
5 Serpae Tetras
12 Ghost Shrimpg (depending on how many have been eaten lately)

sounds like you have a good combination of fish and low light plants to get going. We would all love to see some pics of your setup. There are a lot of very easy and very cheap ways to improve your setup, including Do It Yourself CO2, and OverDriven Normal Output FLourescnet bulbs. Take a look at the links in my signature to read some great sticky threads on DIY CO2 and ODNO lighting. I use both and have had great results without spending a lot of money.
