Me too, Dutch it is! I have made the decision for you Liz
Marine schmarine, go dutch!
Still no algae aye, I think I'm gonna shoot across the pond and dump some ammonia in your tank lol.
No, and I tried super hard to muck up the substrate and everything and get lots of ammonia. I'll never have algae like the rest of you do... I'll never be part of the group now... Sob... Sob... sniff... sniff...
I only got algae when my mother in law screwed up solitude while I was away.
Sure... That's what they all say... I'm all alone!!!! I lament in my algae-free shame!!!
So I'll plan this now, so buy buy this journal, and I'll start the Dutch one up pretty soon. I have to do some cleaning. I've got algae. Happens when you don't maintain the tank, which I didn't. School happens. Mehhh... I'll salvage the plants that I can and offer some for swap. If I can get the Madagascar up to snuff again (right now it has algae), I'll use it in the Dutch scape. I'll probably keep some crypts, the madagascar, maybe some shorter dwarf sag, and anubias. Otherwise, I'll give the rest away.
