36 Gallon Adventure Begins...

[NewerFishPerson]

The aquarium obsession has become a thing. We started our first 10 gallon in April and after a lot of learn as you go , we finally got it settled and stable. Today we will be starting to put together a 36 gallon bowfront tank. We decided to go full on rock featured aqua scape with this one.  We have been searching for the perfect rocks to build a unique rock centerpiece and I finally found them several days ago. As much as I wanted to just get something together and going and get the tank built, ugghh.. LOL Nope, learn from your mistakes the first time, get this one going right from the beginning. We got the right silicone and took the time to get a nice base built and now 48 hours later we are ready to build the tank today. Rocks are solid and silicone is cured. So excited. 🙂 It's gonna be a busy tank day, as we are changing up our 10 gallon a bit to. We have also been preparing some nice driftwood pieces and will be transitioning the 10 gallon to a more all driftwood/ planted setup. Photos to come along...

After a very busy day we got up and going and it's coming along great. 

Gravel Laid & Hardscape Complete... *excuse the reflections lol 

Got some plants going.. 

Will be working on adding some other plants. The plan is to get more moss on the top of the rocks. Very sad scarlett in the front, will hopefully fill out. Plan to get more. We are debating putting some dwarf grass around the front part of the rocks? Plan is to add more plants. There is Fluval stratum under the gravel. The gravel is Pure Water Pebbles Bio-Activ Live African Cichlid Aquarium Substrate.
