A year later comes an update...
So with school behind me and having some down time while searching for a job, I decided to finally get full control of the tank and see if I still got it..
The fish stock has slowly reduced to:
1 adult angelfish
2 bolivian rams
1 rainbowfish
3 kribs
5-6 cories
One of my recent upgrades was the lighting. I went from 2x54 to 4x54 T5HO Catalina light fixture. Though I currently only use 3 bulbs, I finally feel that this will be the key amount of light to grow the plants the way I want them. So with clearing up 99% of the floating plants that blocked the light to everything below and purchasing a nice plant package , the whole transformation began.
Here are the photos:
New light is on, some of the new plants were planted on the right side of the tank.
More plants planted.. The dirty background was a true eye sore
Black background removed and cleaned as well as the algae off the back of the tank.
Glass/filter tubes/heater cleaned. Black background placed back on.
The plant scape is still pending. For now just trying to grow everything out, then will rearrange whats needed/where its needed. Will attempt to purchase a few tetras or cherry barbs to add more life to the tank. Also managed to premix some ferts, get the co2 back up to desired level and hoping to see some magical growth within the next few days/weeks.
Thanks for looking.. More to come soon.
