a Buddhist warrior aquarium
with carib sea black sands
->☽✧-Δ-✧☾<-
Easy set up
of a conscious rich tank with a beneficial bacteria substrate, fig tree, lemon
tree faux plants, lots of air and a centerpiece Buddhist warrior, starring my
fancy goldfish - Hendrix, Neeko and Bobbi. The results are a little cloudy for
the new substrate takes 24 hours to settle and i literally took these photos there
and then. From the Chapter ‘Aquaria’ (Link)

✧☾ Directions ☽✧
... Note I
painted the tank before its initial set up (link)
... Turn
off filter and remove 20-30% of water into a separate tub/bucket with siphon,
making sure to get under gravel, rocks (vacuum up/clean tank bottom)
... Turn
filter back on just make sure the filter is still fully submersed in water (you
don't want the filter turned off for more than 5 or you'll star having the good
bacteria colonies die-ing on you)
... Remove
river rocks and stones (link coming)
... Follow
directions of adding the sand (link coming) but don’t just pour it in
... Set up
the air stone and wand to tubes with check valves for each to the air pump and
turn on
... Here I partially
covered the wand with sand center back
... Here I hid the 4 inch blue air stone in the left corner within a hollowed log
... Rinse statue
in the bucket of tank water and plant in center of tank with enough room around
it to fit the goldies to swim around
... Rinse statue
in the siphoned water and plant the statue center front with enough room for
the goldies to swim around
... Rinse lemon
tree in the siphoned water and plant next to the log/air stone
... Rinse shade
