The journey begins!!!

Well after 6hrs of grovelling in the bottom of the tank and a large water change, it is finally clear and the flourite and new scaping has gone in. Post pics later. The new surroundings have i think sent my plants, particularly the mosses into shock with some sort of white/grey slime appearing on them, its slowly clearing but im thinking maybe a blackout will help. Still a lot of planting to do but this will be done slowly through the week to stop huge amounts of cloudiness.
 
well here is the first post overhaul pics, though some of the plants are planted now. Currently my bulbs are facing off the clown loach attack but we will see who wins that battle. Loving flourish excel and the flourite(not how cloudy it made the tank, bad washing on my part) the swords were only out of the substrate a day or so and the roots tripled in length so i plant them before the roots took over the tank.

I like this pic its the best ive got of my indian drape fin barbs, move way too fast, the two males are dead centre in among my young boesmanis. The barbs are a relatively new species got them more by chance but love them. A little weak though lost a few when i had clown barbs who stole everyones food but now they are gone all is well, so far. The new espei harlequins would never have lasted a day, they are so small. They look great among the common harlies so 22 harlies in all. 4 clown loach, ram pair 3 boesmanis 6 barbs were 10 and a few bn plecos
