Beautiful BC
20 gallon fresh water planted cherry barb tank
1 rainbow shark {who has recently turned nocturnal, he use to not mind the light}
1 CAE almost big enough to be taken out
7 female cherry barbs
6 male cherry barbs
and 1 harlequin rabarosa

All real plants with sand substrate no co2 and low 18w light, aqualclear 150 hob, and a heater ..... yesh i do plan upgrades for this tank!
I don't know all the names of the plants but theres some java moss under a rock in the corner and some java ferns and some others the reed looking plant in the front right recently died after treating hair algae with excel

oh and the bottom photo is the beast that runs the house

Nice tank

Everytime I see someone with a sand substrate I want to change my substrate back to sand (was sand in a previous setup). I knew I liked sand but, noooooo, I had to try something different!

Hows the CAE work for algae?
 
Nice looking tank!
 
the cae works great for algae ! I had some hairmoss in the tank the barbs ate most of it but he finished it now its no more !


I dont know what type of sand it is but i want more , It makes me want to redo my other tanks
 
nice pics :)
