Ketchup (A play on words)

, , , ...

So for the past couple weeks I've been pretty busy, Mainly logging a bunch of hours on Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3! I have been productive on other fronts as well for example a couple of weeks ago I decided I wanted to get into Aquascaping which is a lot like landscaping but with aquariums. So last week with the help of some friends and my father I made this.
Which consists of the following:
  • 40 gallon breeder tank
  • Lg aqueon cascade filter
  • 150 watt aqueon pro water heater
  • 50lbs pool filter sand
  • 2 pieces of Malayasian driftwood
  • 6 pieces of assorted stem plants
  • 2 pieces of petrified wood
  • 36" Marineland LED light fixture


To hold the tank up my father and I built a stand from scratch! This saved me tons of money seeing how it only ended up costing 17 dollars!

The fish I have so far are as follows:
  • 6 White Clouds
  • 6 Hi Finned Lepard Danios
  • One Neon Tetra


I will be able to add new fish once a week until I have roughly 40"s of fish in the tank. Rule of thumb for tanks is an inch of fish for every gallon of water in the tank. I am looking forward to keeping this blog up to date with my cultivation, and new additions to the tank, along with my video game reviews. More SOON!!!
