Miranda Marie Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I'd really love to see everyone's tanks as the year progressed! Share a few photos of how your tank looked at different stages this year so we can all see how far they've come (or how well you maintained how they looked if that was your goal). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnebuns Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) Fun thread idea! And mine changed a TON!! I did just deleted a ton of pictures today so there is a big gap. Nothing in it and she is already planning to mess with it! Everyone starts with glofish and guppies! My baby enjoying my babies This is where there's a big gap. Basically that tank got a lot of live plants and more fish and snails. Then I had a cycle crash due to paracleanse. I rescaped the entire thing. Here it is today!

FLFishChik Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) I started this year with plastic plants because I was intimidated by live plants. I tried to stick to plants that looked as natural as possible and I think I did ok! then after seeing so many of the beautifully planted tanks here and being reassured by many of you that live plants weren’t really difficult, I gave it a go… and here we are Edited January 2, 2023 by FLFishChik 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have the same tank running, but it is the 3rd on the right -first shelf. 1-40+ was a crazy journey but I'm loving it! Shout out to @Cinnebunsfor sending me this link and sharing your idea! I love that Miko needs to involve herself in your life this much haha When my cat wants out of my room he lumps on everything, this may or may not have caused him to get socks thrown at him when he jumps on my tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest one (a maine coon mix) caused the plexiglass lid to bow in several times and ended up soaked, scaring my fish half to death in the process. She eventually learned that was a bad idea and we have made sure to check their water more often LOL.

Rube_Goldfish Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Great thread idea! I wish I could do a before-and-after of this tank but the micro SD memory card with all the build photos just went and died on me, and I never got around to backing it up. (It's why I've been dragging my feet on updating my journal. Does anyone have any insight on dead micro SD cards?) But I took this photo of my 55 gallon community tank earlier tonight. It's been running since the beginning of November so it's really just settling in. Now I just need the patience to wait for the plants to grow in and fill out a little! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it will look amazing once the plants fill in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Let's see what I can find! January: black corydoras on top in a 29G, panda tank on bottom in a 10G with mopani just to give them cover. Some anubias was moved into the 10 as well, but mostly it was just to give them a place of their own until I could setup a proper tank for them. The dresser caved in, expedited things.
