Welcome To The Jungle

Nice, I especially love your Christmas moss.  Think I might try some myself!

 
 

I love the Christmas moss too. I got a tiny bit mixed in with java moss and I like it so much better! Maybe someday I'll try to separate it out. (yeah, right.)

 
Thanks, mine is a mix of java and christmas too. The java is the bulk and the christmas gives the nice looking branches. Next time I trim it, if there is enough I'd happily send you some

 

Haven't seen an update on your tanks in ages mate, this 1 is a cracker. Looks as good as ever. Have to say though, I did prefer it with the open top. Just a pity the t8's didn't look half as good open as your old lights did. Still... Awesome looking tank mate

Edit: spelling

 
Here's the latest Vlog for this tank on YouTube:

Nicely done man. It's a very active tank isn't it? Must be great to watch.
Your valli's on the left look great. Really like that you've trimmed each individual leaf to a different size, rather than grabbing the whole lot and lopping it off like a crew cut
Keep the update coming mate, always a good read

Thanks, yeah it looks really weird when cut all the same length lol. It's weird how fast the stuff grows. It will be all across the tank again soon

Wow! What a beautiful albino fish you have there, it's amazing that creatures can actually have /pink/ eyes, and still look so pretty! C:

September Update
Hey everyone, so it's been a while since I've updates this journal but seen as I have rescaped the tank recently I thought I'd share it with you all

As well as rearranging the layout I have added some Pink Alternanthera into the background which give a nice splash of colour and depth.
The red cherry shrimp have multiplied like crazy and I've rehomed some fish to reduce the overall population and amount of mating that was going on.
Here are the photos:

Oh my this tank is absolutely STUNNING. If you don't mind, I may use it for inspiration while decorating my own tank!!
