Glad to see you back around Bk. Stop by chat some time when you have the chance.
Safadit. Have you tried the Chelsea flower district? Pacific has ok pieces sometimes, but they're pretty pricy on driftwood compared to online.
Thank you Inka I'll check it out even though I ordered some finally. I get bored easily so I'll probably buy a different piece of driftwood and leave it soaking as back up. "Variety is the spice of life"
After months/year of neglect.. TODAY IS THE DAY FOR A GOOD SCRUBBING AND ORGANIZING!!!
Got sick and tired of the tank looking so blah.. algae on the glass, floaters taking over the surface and so on.. Got myself a nice cleaning sponge and its time to turn it back to something I enjoyed looking at.

Holy Fish!
I thought you fell off the planet. I'm glad to hear you're doing the task I just did to two of mine. I guess this time of year has a way of guilting us into doing the right thing. Post up pics if you can. Mine needs a rescape as I believe the substrate has been mostly depleted and compacted.

LOL yea Q its about that time. I just couldnt look at the green covered glass box any further. And must say, scrubbing off the months (if not year) worth of algae wasnt fun at all, in fact I still have the back glass to complete. But here are some photos of the tank after the initial clean up and then after adding a few new red swords. Still contemplating on when I should clean the darn back and add some more stem plants... ohhhh and then its the headache of adding ferts :cry: I love jungle looking tanks, just sucks when you dont have time to upkeep one.
Hopefully there will be some more updates in the next week or so (unless i actually fall off the planet)
Thanks to everyone for the support :headbang2:
I didn't think it would ever actually happen, an update! Tanks looks a little rough but it's nothing you can't handle, and the fish don't look like they mind it at all!
You better continue to update or I might PUSH you off the fall of the planet! :FIREdevil:
