I was board so I thought I would post some pics of my tanks. I don’t use any co2 and just started using excel in my 55 gallon two days ago and just noticed it’s killing my jungle vals very quickly. Please let me know what you think and give me some feedback even if it’s not good. Thanks

90 Gallon tank 64 Watts of light nothing added

Pretty nice looking tanks. How come you only have 64 watts on your 90 gallon. I'm serpriced they are growing though. Very nice.

I think it might be hatching brine shrimp eggs.

I have to hatch out baby brine for my angelfish. so i keep the bottle in there so the temp stays at 78.

That is pretty smart.

Thanks, i couldn't think of anything else that would help me keep the 2L bottle at that temp so i just put it in a tank. As far as lighting for the 90G i just had that shoplight sitting around and put it on the tank and i have never really hand any problems with it most of the plants in there are low light plants so it works out for me for the most part. its only two 32 watt bulbs.
