Ok the blue light will have to go.... 
I am going to take a break and just enjoy this as it is for awhile. I'm getting obsessed!

- Thread starter Swimfins
- Start date
It's maybe a bit blue but the setup is neat.
I'm afraid we're all obsessed. But, there are worse obsessions.
Aww thanks, I was getting worried lol. The camera exaggerates the blueness, its not so blue to the naked eye. (really!)
I've got the sore muscles to prove the work I did, ouch! Trying reach down to the bottom to replant the ones that get dislodged. I hope it lasts a bit.

Oh thanks Blinky, that means alot coming form you...you be my hero ya know 
I came home from work tonight, the water is crystal clean and the plants in place despite the best attempts of those fool dojos digging and cories that chase each other through my pygmy chain sword that I so delicately put in place almost strand by strand. Do I really need fish in there???? :thud:

Oh thanks so much Pl*co 
I need all the encouragement I can get because it cost me alot of $$ not to mention time and sweat. I was aiming for a wilder darker look, its the pink hygropholia that doesn't really go with what I had in mind. I broke down my 25g tank and put everything in there to fill it and get algae under control, maybe later on I'll have the nerve to pull it out. But for now they stay.
Lots of plants did help with the 'greenwater' prob by the way.

Very nice Swimfins! You succeeded nicely at the wilder, darker look (well, at least in the pic). Started redoing my tank Thursday, I hear you about obsession. Many many hours, but IMO, worth every penny and second. I'm sure you agree when you sit back just watching your tank.
Actually Happy Chem, I just can't sit there and enjoy it, I keep bouncing up to pick out leaves or wipe the glass or think this might be better over there? Or is that fish digging up my nice crypt? He better not be!!!! LOL Yes I am losing my mind Thanks. Better go to work now.....
Thanks. Better go to work now.....
LOL! I hear you! After months I thought I'd finally gotten it the way I wanted it, but I always find something that isn't quite right. Then that bugs me until I can fix it. Sometimes I can just sit back and enjoy, but at other times all I do is scan through, carefully looking for little things that aren't quite right, something out of place, a midground plant outgrowing a background one, some riccia coming up, a bit of algae here, it never ends. But then, if it did, I would have gotten bored with the hobby a long time ago.
