Very nice! I'd trim those arrow heads a little more often, to keep them from shading out your Cabomba & Myrio.

Dueling drop checkers??

Cute puffers - do they "get along" when feeding? Do your worms etc. get out of the basket (since it is submerged)?

[PaulJ69]

Thanks, I know the lillys like to shade EVERYTHING.
Yes duel drop checkers, I bought the redsea one and then saw the other one on eBay for cheap from china lol. So once i get my other tank with CO2 I will eventually move them over.
Yes they get along great. I haven't found live blood worms to I'm just using it with the frozen ones, and I just sprinkle them into the water every now and then and they'll eat them as they are coming down.

massive jungle
Its mostly the Ludwigia and Ambulia, they grow like crazy

[chaibill]

do you use a plant light or add co2
the pics are not here any more did you move them?

[PaulJ69]

Ya, I rearranged my photobucket and made folders. Just an update, I don't have my puffers anymore.(dont want to go into it). Now the tank just has about 50 MTS and plants.
And my 20 Long looks nothing like that now.
The weight of the Ludwigia weighed down so much that it knocked over most of my wood. This pic was about a week ago or more.

I have another tank that I started. Its a regular 10 gallon. I did a 2 week time lapse of it. The Video will be up soon.
