The Initial Setup

This tank was actually setup over several days prior to Sarah and I moving into our new house. The 40 gallon breeder aquariums are by far my favoite tank to work with. They’re just the right size. This tank is one of two 40 gallons in my home office. This tank has been dubbed the “Grass” tank because the Java Moss looks like a grassy hill now that it has filled in.

This was the first time I worked with Glossostigma, Riccia Fluitans, and Willow Moss.
