Day 19
Added some dwarf chain sword around day 11


Isn't he cute?


Got a bunch of tiny red spiders swimming around in the tank... I imagine the feeders I'll be throwing in soon will eat em up.

Any algae at all?
What type of light is the tank getting?

So for such a late response, didn't notice the reply. The tank has a ton of BGA, which is probably just my fault for using plants from a tank that already had it... I think I'll start an extensive process of trying to mainly remove it each day to see if the plants can fight it off, but there's still no water flow which is a problem. No other algae, however.

The tank is getting afternoon sunlight, no artificial lighting.

Well I grabbed some new plants while camping this weekend, and not wanting to put them in any of my tanks with fish, I decided to redo this tank... Used compost instead of MGOC this time, we'll see how that works, and I'll try to stay on top of cleaning out any BGA so it doesn't take over again. Oh and it's in a 29 gallon instead of a 20 long now. Can anyone identify the new plants for me?
