lol thanks for the compliments but it's a surprisingly simple tank. no co2 or fets ( shrimp and snails in the tank). i have 8, t12 day max, flourescent full spectrum bulbs. its pretty much 320 watts for 125 gallons. i do a 50% water change twice a week. ph is 6.8- 7.0, no ammonia, nitrate, nitrite.... i wish i had high lighting but cant afford the electricity.
thanks. i feel they make a nice display when they school. im going to post a video of it in a few days. feeding time is quite interesting.
the plants are much darker now and dont stop growing. i would say that adding ferts would make the plants go out of hand. as of now i am trimming the moss once a week. here are some new pics with the lights reduced.
sorry for the blurry pics i was in a rush.

Dam Jaysen the tank is just CRAZY.. you did and are doing a great job.
Funny to see that single stem of ludwigia trying to make something of itself.
Whats that plant in left corner?? wisteria?

yea it is wisteria. it was dooing well when it was under the lights directly but not so well in the corner. im gonna have to move it around, maybe tomorrow. i wish the ludwiga would grow faster. maybe my tank isnt ideal for it.
naa your tank is ideal to grow pretty much anything. My ludwigia with co2/flourish and with decent lighting grows about an inch a week (more or less), so yours with just lights is doing fine, as long as its not dying.. I will see what i can gather this weekend and maybe we can trade a few.
