Setting up a Planted Aquarium

The New Jersey Aquatic Gardener's Club held its November 2009 meeting at my boss's office to set up his aquarium. This video is used by permission and represents 4 hours of the 8 spent setting up the tank.

@masterxgt

Thanks for the comment. Right now the Narrow leaf Java Fern on the left side has more than doubled for the second time since set up in Nov 09. I need to get in there and cut out half of it. This tank has Mineralized Soil and I don't fertilize at all. It is very low maintenance.

That 75 gallon tank on the left was only temporary while the new tank was being set up. It is gone now.

Damn! Doesn't take 9 ppl to set it up!

@cahernand1 You miss the point of the project. It was a club meeting. We were having a fun time. It wasn't a contest for speed set ups, like an ironman aquascaping contest.
