first off, i've turned to the darkside... it was my original plan, but blew my budget on the external filter. The flourite sand took ages to clear, but i really like the way it looks, and my plants could do with the bit of leeway it'll give. There couple of small algae blooms, brown diatom and a green hair trident shaped one, i'll put some pics up later. Shrimp are still breeding like crazy and i've got some more to mix up the gene pool, they're currently in a nursery tank, which i'm filling up with cuttings and a riccia carpet. I'll update propperly with more pics later today.

I noticed the bark had started to peel off the wood, so took it out last night and gave it a good scrub with a wire brush. Here's a pic of my 4G nursery tank with the cuttings in it. The riccia and baby shrimp seem to be thriving dispite all the rumours about them not liking liquid carbon. I'll give it a propper scape once i've more time. 
. The Bolbitis has never seemed to like the tank much, its putting out lots of new shoots, but the older leaves are still quite brown and patchy, maybe it was positioned too close to the light or in a dead spot and not getting enough flow. My Crypt Amicorum is starting to spread, new little plantlets are shooting up around it.
