Well what can I say, ive only just stumbled accross this topic so ive had the pleasure of seeing the whole process within minutes. I can truely say it was an amazing transformation, really good work there! Although I think everyone will agree you can ease up on the plants now
hehe, great work! I hope one day ill have a setup that looks half as fantastic as this, a real slice of the true aquatic underworld no less

The tanks looking really good!! All those 4 in the morning stints have really paid off!! See i told you i'd have a sneaky peak. A day late i admit, but better late than never!!You were right about the wee snails. They are breading like wildfire. Pulled 15 out then about 10 mins later there were another 15 on the glass
And, personally, I don't think you should take the tannins out. I think it looks cool with it.Cheers,GobyMaster
