My first 20H Vert- planted

[Frogtofall]

Time to step it up 1 notch, to the 20 gal. After doing what seems like a million 10's, I figured why not give the 20's a try. Only downside really is the price of the tank. Dang ol' $35!!!!

Here are some pics...

























And the Money Shot...



How's that for a first try??

Plants are as follows from first the pic on...

Alocasia "Tiffany"
Alocasia guttata var. Nebula
Alocasia sanderiana Nobilis
Macodes petola
Microgramma sp. Fern
Neo. rubrifolia x Hanibal Lector "Governor's Plea" and Neo. "Tiger Cub"

Awesome! How big do you think the Alocasia will get?

David,

I have no clue!! It was much much smaller when I got it. I assume it'll probably get near twice that size. I honestly don't know. That particular one is the biggest one I've ever seen.

I have another one in a plant growing tank that isn't anywhere near that big. Its the same age too. I think that plant got some extra nutrient and really took off. I love it.

It is probably going to outgrow that tank...it does in mine.

All of the Alocasias in there probably will. Heh. I think A. rugosa so far is the only one that I've got that hasn't gone totally gigantic on me yet.

I love them though!

[Frogtofall]

Do you have a picture of yours??
