Amazing tank!

The 'scape is awesome, and the fish look great...add a black background and you'll be set!

Have to agree with the above. I have a black background on my planted tank and it just seems to balance everything.

The tank looks amazing.

Cheers

Hi guys,

Hi guys,

So it's been awhile since the last update. Tank in been thought some changes in the last couple months. There are good news and bad news...

Unfortunately, I had an ammonia spike and lost all my fish :icon_frow:icon_frow. Also, I run out of CO2 for about 4 days and plants didn't like at all. However, I give some inspiration to start all over again and make some changes. I got new fish and some new plants that I'm really exited about it.

The new additions are:

Fish
12 Black Neon Tetras
12 Lemon Tetras

Plants
Polygonum sp. ''Kawagoeanum'
Rotala Macandra Red Japan
L. Pantanal
and a few more that I forgot the name LOL:tongue::tongue:

Here is some pictures .....
