Nice tanks, maybe you should add some big amazon swords into your first tank, as the right side looks very small and dark, and they will brighten it up, looking quite nice. What is the thing behind the plants in the second tank? Is it just a background?
PS - Good to see you took my advice and put pictures up!

hi neal the plant thats in the first tank was actually mean't for the other tank but it was too tall? lol, don't think it will survive long as lights not bright enough lol, only put it in there just b4 taking pic. was planning osetting my tank up for a pair of oscars but when i bought it didn't realise there was fish already in it, so not sure wat to do at min, did order my oscars but thinkin twice at min if i really want them? not sure i've ever come across amazon swords, wat are they like?
Which bit do you mean behind the plants, as have juwel background, an then theirs loads of rocks against that, which are covered in hair alge, which i can't get rid of, think its actually some other type of alge as its destroying my plants an taking over my tank lol!!!

sweet angels love the tank. you have ells in there right?

 

[Neal]

The plant you have in your first tank is an amazon sword, or so it looks like. They are hardy plants, and don't require much light. People will tell you that you need atleast 1WPG to keep plants alive, in my experience with two tanks, this has not been the case at all! Aslong as they get light, they will live. Yes, I was wondering about the rocks behind the plants, couldn't work out what they were. Put 1 or 2 of your bristlenose into your second tank, they will keep the algae down for you.

did have plecs in their b4 an they didn't touch the alge as it hair alge i think? or some sort?!? Plus as theirs quite alot of plants, an how they go round they'l pull plants up an they quite thin!! Think plants will be coming out soon, as they look like dying?!?

sweet angels love the tank. you have ells in there right?
