magic mr machine, i so dearly want real plants but after reading what may be involved i will stick to what i have. your tank is a bottle of wine just getting better with age!!! magnifico!
i bought another orniment today and asked the man about finding me an orniment maker for my amusement park to make me what i want. i too like you had that idea. before i got here on this forum. that was the reason i joined in the hope that someone would know a manufacturer. alas for the next tank. excuse me "burp" just took a bite of my MTS sandwich!!!

keep up the fine work

Wow I hope you can do that, I think my tanks a little small though once I get this scape done I may try it.

Thanks for the nice comliments, it's pretty cool looking at an old pic and a present pic seeing the change. I'm starting to get the hang of this

whenever i get new plants for my 65gallon plant tank i take about 1tsp of bleach and mix it with about 1 gallon of water and soak the plants in the bleach for about 2min each then i soak for about 5min in a prime and water solution to remove the bleach and it wokrs wonders at keeping snails out of plants. as for co2 i see you have it working now. what i use for mine atm is 4 hagen co2 canisters on the 65gallon and for my 5gallon nano plant tank i use 1 hagen co2 canister and i attach halfway through the hose a valve allowing me to control the amount of c02 allowed to enter the ladder

ok i may get a bit of flack for this but..the old fashioned way to induce a palnted tank with co2..provided there are no fish in it is plain old club soda. about a cup a day should do ya! dont forget to use plant fert that is amonia and nitrite free and to change a reasonable amount of water before fish go in...club soda has salt. hope this helps
