Update time. :) In the past 2 weeks, I got 2 new Amano shrimp, my Hygro and Cabomba grew alot, my Dwarf Harigrass is starting to grow again, I split an Anubias rhizome from the main one, and I put in a piece of wood I found in a river under my AC filter to disperse the flow. I also thought up of a way to get more CO2 diffused than only a CO2 ladder.

T-minus 10 seconds to launch.


One of two Amano Shrimp traded in from a huge stem of Pennywort.


Ghost Shrimp on anubias:


The same Ghost Shrimp decided my hand would be a place where he could find some food. Luckily, I had my camera right next to me at the moment.

My way of getting more diffusion from my CO2 ladder: After the CO2 bubbles have done it's thing going through the ladder, I noticed that not al of it gets diffused, so I found a little plastic funnel and I siliconed some tubing to it. The little bubbles that don't make it float up into the funnel, then take a ride to my Penguin's impeller chopping it up into about 200 bubbles the size of a period, giving them more surface area to diffuse in.


Any suggestions or comments are welcome, thanks for looking.

Hmm looks like a familar reseal job? :)

Tank looks amazing! You did a really great job on the tank itself and the aquascaping. I really like the flatback hex tanks, gives it such a nice look.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Ever since I added the extra diffusion thing to my powerhead, my cabomba has been growing at about 1 inch a day and my Hygro shoots off another node of leaves every 2 days.
