Refurbished 40ish gallon dirted tank/aquascape

This journal escaped my notice until now. I like (liked? can't tell if it's still there) all the plants attached to the wood--very unique scape. Sorry for your losses with the Ich outbreak...that is no fun. I had the same problem, for a very similar reason, with my 150 g a couple years ago.

By the way, I like your username. I'm a fan of palindromes. My favorite: Nate bit a Tibetan.

Oh... I wish they were still there. all the plants started melting over the summer when I got busy with work and since I've been at uni they've all but disintegrated except for a couple rot alas that can still access light. The mosses got covered in algae and the Anubias stopped growing and melted so I had to rescue them and put them in an emersed setup.

Since you also keep sturisoma, how quickly does your wood disappear? In the year and a bit that this setup has been active, almost the entire right half of the main arch has been eaten, and the trunk of the left side is beginning to shrink.

Interesting! My whiptails are in a big tank with really big pieces of wood, so I haven't noticed any disappearing.
