I've Been Naughty!

Love that planted tank from above! Prob my 2 fav plants in my tank are my tonina and radicans sword. The sword gives out foot long roots and I started with 5 stems of tonina and it keeps growing and growing!

I haven't got my sw tank setup yet so can't really compare on personal experience, I just think there are different things to get from each setup. Fresh water can be mainly about the fish or the plants, where in a sw tank you have the fantastic colours of the fish, then you have all these critters on the rock and the corals aswell. I watch my planted tank for ages just watching the fish, in the sw tank I expect I will be watching everything.
The 2 can hardly be compared fairly!

You know what to do fishy555996841257900864123456789! wasted, are you?

Rowaphos maybe when get a skimmer, good CUC i wish, need all rock first, less light i only got T8's, regular wc once i have me rock, good scrub cannot scrub and patience! you serious? Lol

Have you got a powerhead? lol............If so, stick some rowaphos in front of it in a media bag and that will do the job for now!

The T8's wont be a prob regarding algae [unless there growlux tubes]. What ever rock you have in there, take it out and scrub in used tank water and then plonk back in!

Wasted?...............Slighty! lol

Best to scrub before you add snails,crabs etc as they might be attached to the rock when you take it out!
