My 30 gallon tank

That there is a purty tank.

Nice changes. Your fish look very happy in there.

I changed one of my 24" lights with higher K temperature, almost to the point of purple so the fish's colors pop out more. Plus, the new light seems to have made my plants a deeper green color.

I also cut my main anubias plant into 5 rhizomes with about 6 leaves each because the new growth was starting to run off of the lava rock it attached to, plus there where a couple of bald spots on the rock where algae covered leaves where trimmed off.

FTS:


You can see how much the light changed my Neon's color.


Here is a picture of the light itself, it says it's 7800K, but it's way far off from that.


You can see the trim of my anubias plant on the lava rock.


Enjoy.

Very pretty! It looks so healthy and clean!

The k value seems right to me on the light. I use a mixture of 10,000k and 6,500k which is kinda bluish. Just the way I like it

 

[DAVIDFBT]

^ Yeah, but it's more purple than bluish. But I like it, so it doesn't matter.

Very nice job.
Your plants look great and the before pictures show the amazing transformation you did.

 

[DarkDH]

Looks really nice....

May I use your tank as an example for my 20 gal?

 

[DAVIDFBT]

^ Sure, why not?

Not much has changed, except the usual trim every week. i did add a crypt lutea to the foreground and a little pot of HC I got for free that only had a couple of little shoots growing from the rockwool. I just took the big chunk of brown stems in the middle and planted it in the tank, hoping it will grow.
