Wow! the plant growth is great!

I'm changing my tank to planted and am getting an amazon sword, and Eventully I want it to get that giant tankbusting size, I thought it would take years, but your plants grew great in 2 months!

If the plant growth increases as I suspect it will with my new upgrades I will be selling plants to my LFS which my wife will love. Seems like every time I walk in there I walk out about 100 bucks lighter... LOL!!

Thanks for the kind words!

That is beautiful! As the plants continue to fill in it will be really lush looking.

A quick little video showing progression up to the present. The photo more accurately shows the tanks current state. But this gives an idea of where it all started from.

Currently on day 3 of pressurized C02 injection...

All I can say is WOW! The plants are greener, the water the cleaner, and the algae is getting its tush kicked. The C02 is much easier to dial in than with DIY as well.

I honestly can't believe this kind of progress in less than 3 days. The plants are a simply beautiful shade of green.

I'm going to stare some more now.

Great job! Yea, I hear that's great for planted tanks.

I have more pretty pink flowers from my money wort. I honestly didn't know they flowered. But these are 100% submerged with flowers.. Pretty cool..

in your first video, i love the images of your ram (35-40 seconds), its truly beautiful in colour, do you find it hard to look after? because apprently theyre very sensitive.

[Gargoyle]

No they are easy. Just keep the water clean and they do very well.. Careful of getting 2 males though.. They get a little mean with each other and one may die if not both.

AWESOME tank. This is making me want to put some plants in my tank, which I probably will. moneywort here I come lol

Great video, perfect music to go with it too ... do you have a background on the back of the tank, is it black?....
AS for the blue light, I really like the effect, my 12 gallon as a white light, blue and another dimmer light.... basically for sw, but I use them all as I like the effect.

very nice tank!!!! love the plants and choice of fish.
