You make me sick! Just kidding! I'm really jealous though. I just don't have the talent for doing live plants. I am very impressed at your talent though.

Beautiful tank! What's your maintanence routine like with it? I'm considering a very similar setup as yours (I also have 110w PC lighting just sitting around with my empty 55g! lol).

Do you weekly scrape algae off the glass? If so, what type? Green spot? Green spot is absolutely the WORST - it's so tough to remove from the glass.

Thanks

Very, very nice!
I like how the plants are grouped, but it looks natural, and flowing... Very healthy plants too, and Angels...

Yes, very nice!, I want to get some plant, no money in the bank, and don't know realy what to get.

Damn. That is so nice. Do you get pearling with 110 watts? Also, what is your weekly dosage of ferts like?

Thanks,

Omid

Thanks for the kind words everyone
99 Red Si- My maintenance is weekly(every friday usually). First, I scrub the front of the tank, then I do a 50% water change. I refill and add in some flourish trace and some PMDD. As for the algae on the glass, its usually dust algae which comes off easily, but there are a few patches of PITA green spot. Green spot also gets on my anubias leaves, as you can see in one of the pics, its quite annoying and no one seems to know how to get rid of it.

Oyashure-
I do get noticable pearling on most of my plants by around 3 pm (lights go on 10-9). It gets quite full of bubbles at night which is contributing to the haziness of my photos. I dose about a teaspoon of k2s04, kno3, and a mL of phosphate (fleet enema), plus flourish trace and a bit of flourish iron.

Oooooh, pretty!

That's a really beautiful tank. How long have the plants been in there?
