But with your skirts? I think not. Are you using photoshop or something?

My 55. Some improvement on the plant growth. My anubias hastifolia has a new leaf coming in and my swords and vals are filling in more.

My 46 got a trim, removed the older leaves off the swords that were damaged or worn out

The 20. The moss is just taking right over. And my crypts are doing great.

And betta tanks

 

[CassCats]

Actually went and added some more plants to the 55. Some moss between the pots and more hornwort.

 

[DwarfCichlidLvr]

I barely see your 20 anymore. Looks great!
And your 46 looks so



empty. haha

This will basically become my longterm photo dump for photos of my tanks and fish.

Questions are welcome.

I keep 6 tanks, plus a couple small set ups for shrimp (future) and snails.

First is my 1gal snail jar. Aerated and planted in a sunny window. In a few months ill add shrimp.

(Yes i am aware i overstock, but lots of filtration and manual labour keeps things in good shape)

I seem to always overstock and usually overfeed too. It's all about filters and new water though. I test water regularly and like you said it keeps thing in good shape.

Do you have CO2 in any of your tanks? They look great by the way! Wish I had the time for it

No CO2, I dont understand the mechanisms behind it enough to feel comfortable using it. So all is basically low tech. Basic lighting, basic root tabs and basic ferts once in awhile when I remember lol

 

[evanb]

Yeah ok. I've never bothered with CO2. Only plants that have died are the ones my silver dollars have destroyed lol.

Ive killed java fern and about every single floating plants I've tried. But those don't even *need* CO2 haha...

I saw an ad the other day, someone was begging someone to take their tinfoil barb because it kept eating their plants. Like legit begging in all caps for someone to take it for free lol

 

[evanb]

Haha. I think maybe giving the plant away instead of the fish might have been a better option
