Well the slime has all but disappeared as quickly as it came after flowering (what the science says) has died out, and in just 12 hours has almost completely cleared up.
What I cant figure out is how they turned into plants LOL (jest). I still have to install the black sponge looking lava rocks from a local dead volcano. Even though they are 2.3 million years old they look like like they were melted yesterday. New photos when I get them inside.

Gunner - what are the plants? Are they silk? They look HUGE to fill a tank that size!

Thanks guys. The plants are known as Giant Floating Plants (36") that also have a base for anchoring. They were on sale for under $6 so I bought some as part of a larger purchase for free shipping. I like them in all my aquariums as a back drop and they have never faded are thick and strong and move with the current. Here you see 4 different plants in double bunched for better looks, the one most easily recognized bamboo.

Thanks to be honest we all know that most things in life are just determination, this being a very tiny example of what possible if your hart's in the right place.
So these plants being really just part of the background, I plan to do some research and fine easy to grow LIVING plants for the foreground that don't require special lighting or Co2 to grow successfully, IF there is such plants. So far from what Iv seen not even my LFS's are successful the way some of you have managed to grow those stunning live plants lol. Will see, one thing at a time nice thoughtful and slow.
