My tank is doing better with the algae.... i went through and cleaned as much algae off by hand as i could but i think the tank is doing better. I am thinking of giving att the plants a bleach dip to kill the algea on all the plants and cleaning it out of the wood at the same time all the plants are removed...

Any opinions or advice please let me know




my tank as of sunday 5/03/2009 So one week of co2 and ferts...

after doing a lil research i decided to bleach all the plants and wood using a 10% solution of bleach and water.

It looks like it killed off the algea. So i decide while i have everything out of the tank that I would rescape it.

I am in desperate need of some plants. I also need some ideas of what plants to use in the tank along with what i have now. I was thinking of an amazon sword and maybe some anubis.. I don't know tho I think i need something in ne middle to make it a center peice. May be some moss attached to one of the peices off to the Right.. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.


Here are a few pic of what it looks like now It looks so bare...
