Metal Halides on planted tank

So my MH pendant came in today!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im running a 70W 10,000K bulb on my 28G nano cube. Keep in mind the pics are a little yellow from the driftwood tannins. I have some carbon in there trying to soak it up. Light should be slightly more white once the water is clear.

Hope ya'll enjoy!

 

So there's 7 algae shrimp in there and 6 cherry shrimp in there. Let me know if you see any. lol
Those guys never come out. And a couple got in my overflow. NOT fun getting out. lol. Thats why I have the fish net over the overflow teeth.

 

Very nice!
How long have you had the tank setup? What kind of substrate are you using?
Will you use a C02 reactor on it?

LOOKS GREAT!

 

looking way better with the driftwood. was ur lfs out of cardinals? nice progress.

 

That is one awesome tank.

 

Hey do ya'll think I should let java moss cover the wood or leave it clean? I think the brown contrast's great with the green and draws attention towards the center. Wish I could see what it would look like covered up.

 

wow looks REALLY good

 

Thank you sir! This has been setup for about 2 weeks now (substrate is live and I'm using established bio media). Im using Carib Sea eco-complete planted substrate. I have a yeast reactor leading to a small venturi powerhead on there right now, if I don't get the results I want, I will set up a small CO2 injection system with a small "paintball gun type" CO2 tank.

Thank you. I think so too. My LFS does not normally carry cardinals. Do you think cardinals look better because they have more red? I suppose they do too, but for some reason he never carries them.

Why thank you!

 

Thanks chick.

 

My wife hates me now because we have a disco ball on our ceiling from the shimmer reflection. HAHAHAHA!
