After a year and a bit of tending to my 30G planted I lost the inspiration to continue. I Needed another 30 for my Africans but we've sort of run out of space and cash flow (common problem amongst our kind? lol) So we solved all the problems by breaking down the 30 planted and having a bit of fun with stock shifting. Heres the result...
First photo in the series is the before shot - note the overgrowth! Amazing what DIY CO2 can do! We've used less than half the plants on the new tank and cut back plenty to find all the healthy bits.
I'm looking at the substrate now and thinking it needs a bit more dark... comments anyone?
