I haven't been back here in a couple months but I have here a quick picture update.
There was a wild greenwater bloom in here for a while but now there is almost no algae at all. I added some gravel, but still have the planters sitting up on top while I wait for the plants to grow up bigger. The plants are all doing well, but growing slow. I think it will all look good when they have filled in about 1/2 as much more. I still don't have CO2 set up but I am dosing Excel.
