| A couple pics of my 120 FW planted
I just realized I haven't posted update pics of my 120 in FOREVER! My Amazon Sword is getting huge now, and my Columbian tetras are enormous- tank is 4'x2'x2' for size reference. They are such pigs!  |

| Wow Harpua, your tank looks awesome! Your columbian tetras have amazing color... nothing like the washed out specimens I see at the LFS. Makes me miss my big tank. I see your rotkeils in the background too... makes me miss mine. Thanks for sharing the pics  | |

| Thanks everyone! This is by far the lowest maintenance tank we have. We do a 50% water change weekly and that's it. I don't even vac the sand most of the time. No CO2 and no ferts, as all plants are low-med light. Algae growth is almost nonexistent and fish are doing great. It's awesome when you are able to find balance with a planted tank, and believe me, I've struggled to do so many times!
Nutter- yes, it's water wisteria/water sprite/whatever you call it, lol. I prefer it as a floating plant and the fish really seem to like it too. | |

| Do you use any supplements for your plants? Is that sand substrate? How powerful is your light source? What do you do in particular to maintain the health of your plants? | |

I use pool filter sand and a Coralife 4x 65W power compact fixture, and2x Rena XP3s for filtration. I do a 50% weekly water change and the rest takes care of itself. I keep all low light plants. | |

| Thanks guys.
New plant tonight! I couldn't believe we found a sword plant this size at a LFS. The other pics are of the crazy growth we've been getting from the water sprite. We'll be selling some as soon as the weather warms up to ship, if anyone is interested. | |

| Wow, thanks for sharing and explaining how you keep your plants going! It gives me a bit of hope, as I'm planning on starting a planted tank sometime in the near future. I only hope mine turns out half as beautiful as yours. | |
