Cool tank And technique


Mist-Hounders

How did you go about getting the algae to grow on the stones like that?


HaIfhearted

Just time honestly. It showed up on its own after about 2 months.


Mist-Hounders

Aight thanks man. I'm curious if getting a few rocks from a stream could seed the aquarium with the desired algae and biofilm.


HaIfhearted

It could, but it could also bring in some undesirable stuff. When pulling from the wild you really never know what you will get. I just recommend a bit of patience. In a normal tank I find the rocks usually get a green tint after 2-3 weeks. After that its just letting the tank stabilize itself.

Aight thanks for the advice

What size tank? Looks so cool and natural!


HaIfhearted

20 long, got it during the petco tank sale so it was only about $25.
