			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I&#8217;ve been planning my second aquarium setup.  It&#8217;s going to be &#8220;El Natural&#8221; style, also called &#8220;Low Tech.&#8221;  I&#8217;ll be using a base substrate of <a href="http://www.scotts.com/smg/catalog/productCategorySubSelf.jsp;jsessionid=AB84A4D8835FD86A74071EAC2B282D83?itemId=cat80014&amp;navAction=jump">Miracle Gro Organic Choice</a> soil and a cap of <a href="http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=7324">Tropic Isle Tahitian Moon Sand</a>.  For lighting, I&#8217;m planning on using my <a href="http://go.aquaticplantcentral.com/?id=673X1261&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.drsfostersmith.com%2Fproduct%2Fprod_display.cfm%3Fc%3D3578%2B3733%2B13822%2B19759%26pcatid%3D19759">Single GLO Life-Glo T5 HO 24W 6700K</a> that I have laying around.  For flora, I&#8217;m thinking about getting some water wisteria, water sprite, rotala rotundifolia, sword plants, S. subulata, frog bit, and maybe some crypts.</p>
<p>For fauna, I plan on having a <a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000000176065" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrinocheilus" title="Gyrinocheilus" rel="wikipedia">chinese algae eater</a>, mystery snails, and red cherry shrimp.</p>
<p>So to begin with, I&#8217;m going to set the tank up emersed.  Grow out the plants emersed, then after 3 or 4 weeks, fill the tank up.  I&#8217;m thinking about changing the substrate out on my 26 gallon bow front tank, so if I decide to do that, I&#8217;m going to put the fish and snails from that tank into this tank temporarily while I change out the 26.</p>
<p>More to come.  =)</p>

<p>I created a <a href="http://ripperhollow.com/planted-aquariums/">couple pages</a> for the journals of my aquariums.  So far, I only have one tank running right now.  It&#8217;s my <a href="http://ripperhollow.com/planted-aquariums/26-gallon-bow-front/">26 gallon bow front</a> planted tank.  It has a bunch of plants, 8 Cardinal Tetras, 3 Chinese Algae Eaters, and some blue mystery snails.  The other tank I have isn&#8217;t set up yet.  It&#8217;s my <a href="http://ripperhollow.com/planted-aquariums/20-gallon-tall/">20 gallon tall tank</a>.  It&#8217;s going to be a natural planted tank with red cherry shrimp, a chinese algae eater, and a couple mystery snails.  Check out the <a href="http://ripperhollow.com/planted-aquariums/">Journals</a>.</p>
