Here's a link to great freshwater and aquarium plant website. I recommend everyone looking at the site(s) and you will come away knowing much more about the hobby!

Thanks kveeti for taking the time to put it together! Great job! :)

Very cool--I really like the microscope pics! It's cool to see. Makes me think that maybe I should get one too, and check out the Sw tanks as well. Hmmm....!

[Slappy*McFish]

Yeah, those microscope pics were definetly cool. Nice site..I've always liked Kveeti's tanks...she does a great job aquascaping small tanks. That betta tank is very interesting as well.

[Tetratastic]

Fantastic site! What great pics!

I loved the rock walls in the two tanks, I may have to steal that idea for my 10 gal... :)

[ChilDawg]

Very nice, kveeti. Thank you for making that site and thank you 80gJoe for sharing this with us!

Beautifull tanks Kveeti! I especially liked the the planted tank section. I too have a UGF filter in a planted tank and a sociable SAE that not only cleans tanks, but also allows Oto's to clean him without attacking. BTW, unrelated to fish but well worth the look, try Kveetis garden link (http://members.shaw.ca/dannec/gardmap.html). What a proffesional looking web page!
Kudos Joe for uncovering this treasure :cool:

Definitely worth a look! Great site kveeti and great idea 80gJoe to post as a thread!

[kveeti]

Thank you, everybody, for the kind words.

But nobody has mentioned my best work (although not fishy related):

Very cool site Kveeti, great looking low light tanks.

Very nicely done Kveeti.

Regarding the blepharisma and spirostomum; were they sampled from the substrate or the water column? And have you observed any stalked protozoans from the tanks? (in between beer chugs, of course).

Very interesting pics. I especially enjoyed viewing the entries to the AGA International Aquascaping Contest.

They were from the substrate, I find I get the most stuff from the substrate at the base of plants. I haven't seen any stalked protozoans that I know of, sometimes it's hard for me to tell that I'm actually seeing a something unless it moves.

Thanks for that info Kveeti. I’ve been monitoring succession and distribution in some tanks for awhile now and I’m always interested in what other people are seeing, or just as important, not seeing in their tanks. Again, you have nice fun site. :)

That is a great site. I too liked the microscopic pics and most definitley the Beer site (my favorite).

Whoaa I really like the microscope pics...great idea...

I noticed the "Trixie Belden" part of the page too!! I used to read those when I was younger....hehe....nobody else I knew did though....neat stuff to see again!!

[somefinnfishy]

I like all your little tanks my tens dont get the atention the big guys do.
Was that a potho in the "big one"if so is that safe?
Like your rock walls made some yesterday before I saw your link.I used black silicone and made a cave:D

[kveeti]

SBee - Trixie Belden was/is better than Nancy Drew any day IMO...

somefinnfishy - yes, it's pothos. There was a HUGE discussion on it on another board, sadly, they changed servers and that multi-page thread is lost... but anyway I've had it in my tanks for almost a year, although not the same pieces, I've replaced them once. Your cave is great, too!

[somefinnfishy]

I have some rooted in my sump not submersed I just dont trust them that much:D You know if you needed some perfect plants for that tank I for one will donate.Could send you some little anubis nana you'd hardly notice the change:rolleyes:
Not at all to distract from your cool tanks and awesome site.

Thank you. (I don't think sending plants over the border is allowed.) The tanks are still a work in progress, lately I haven't been able to fiddle much, just maintain because of family issues and gardening season... I have one anubias, it grows way too slowly but it has doubled since last year, maybe I should divide it.

[somefinnfishy]

anubias will grow from bare root so chop away:D If you want it to grow taller stick it in the corner and it's forced to grow up.I've had great luck banding to a small chunk of lava rock It roots to the stuff fast and grows better/faster with exsposed roots IMHO
