Here are a few pics of my africans and some weeds. They are off my phone but not bad quality (really must get around to buying a decent camera...)
I'm finding the Ferns suffering from black/brown spots of algae, but showing good clean new growth as well, which I reckon means I should either trim them down more regularly or perhaps my lighting is not balanced properly (2 x 25w).
The java moss I just let go mental, rightly or wrongly. Trying to find some more of the stuff on the rock at the bottom left of the tank; it took very well as an experiment and I think I would like to grow it as a carpet on the rockwork.
Main reason I added the plants anyway was to help maintain low nitrates and boy do they work. I used to do 2 weekly pwc's of around 50% to keep below 20 ppm, I now do just 1 and am never above 20.
First four pics are of the tank from different angles, last one is just a pic of a nice fish
Anyway, thanks for looking; your comments/advice always appreciated.
