end of week 2, and it's had it's first trim. Managed to bag a Eheim 2073, so thats now in place of the JBL, nothing against the JBL, but i wanted to try and remove the powerhead in there as it's quite ugly, and the Eheim chucks out some flow!...saying that, it'll be going back in at the first sign of anything bad lol!

Miss taking tank shots like this, but I'd lose a goby or a dottyback if I had the tank like that. And one goby costs more than 10 of those neons! Never a huge fan of neons or cardinals. Something about their bodyshape, I don't love, but they are extremely popular, so it's just me. They look good in there, though. Nice to see glosso again. I miss glosso, a fun plant.

Agree with the above two comments. VERY strong growth, which is what we want to see in a planted tank people.



This scape just for pleasure, or are you competing with this one too? I think you are, if I'm not mistaken, yes? You need to do AGA, I wanna see an Ian tank when I go to the convention banquet and they announce the winners...

yes this one is for the AGA, it the stems need to get more 'bushy' before any proper FTS get taken lol.

Wow. That's lovely!

thank you!

No pressure now... I wanna see that tank in the banquet, so grow it purty! I wanna say, "I know this guy!" Tolak is possibly coming as is OM and Waterdrop. You'll have a massive cheering section.

thanks Stu...i mean *cough*boughtone*cough*, i have never owned an eheim, very impressive filter.

@ llj, i'm not sure it'll do well, but fingers crossed!
