I think this tank will be the inspiration for my first big planted tank.

Thanks =)

It looks a bit messy still. Lots of species but not enough stems for large bushes. When they grow, I will be able to make it look less like a patch work and more like a jungle =)

I'm impatient.

Ok, just few more pictures. Then I'll put my new camera away and go to bed. I'm still really bad with this one, practising for one day doesn't help much. But maybe I will learn how to focus to the right target and stuff in time...

Ludwigia spec. Cuba sleeping

Shinnersia rivularis doing the same

Rotala macranda chilling

My CO2 reactor is too effective. There's lots of really small CO2 bubbles in the water making it look cloudy. I need to reduce the water flow in the reactor, maybe 150l/hour will be enough instead of 300.

I'm in love with it =)

Tomorrow I'll go and buy the black canvas around the stand. Gonna look cool

I'll try. It's hard to get the whole tank to one picture. There's a wall 2 meters from the front glass

But I got a stand for the camera so taking the picture will be somewhat easier with it =)

Ludwigia spec. Cuba is going to win the race to the surface. Limnophila aromatica is in second place

I know, a boring plant picture again. But it's fascinating to see how fast that one grows.

Cuba, again

Plants are no less boring than corals

Oh, I forgot to tell. No nitrite for two days. All my pygmy cories and the G. joselimaianus are now living there. Pygmy cories have been spawning there all day

I am astonished at your progress. This is by far my favorite thread ever. You are the goddess of the planted tank and I worship you.

The Tank is Beuatiful and Amazing.

Those Plants are Wonderful.
