75G re-done
The 75G has seven different kinds of Anubias, 2 different Java ferns and several different Crypts.Most of the anubias will be huge eventually, thats the reason for the open top. I'm really anxious to see what it will look like when it fills out.

pic after the tank is the right side, then middle and then left side.

Thanks  It had Wisteria and water sprite growing everywhere and looked cluttered so I cleaned it out. Will be glad when all the Anubias fills in a bit. since they are very slow growers it will be a while LOL

Heres what a nice specimen A.gigantae looks like. This is my Bristlenose in his usual bed It's in the 55g. The one in the 75G will look like that some day.

Thanks Dave He tends to take on the color of the gravel and look mottled like that most of the time. The leaf he's laying on is about the size of my hand so he is a big boy

Hi Carol,
What lights are you using? I love your tank.....is it hard for you to decide to tear one apart and redo? I've got a 55 I have had going for 3 years and have some well established plants, but the rest of the tank has gotten ho-hum, and I would like to tear into it........just cant make myself.....

I have two 65 watt coralife lights over the tank. They are raised about ten inches over the top of the tank to allow the floaters and eventually the larger species of Anubias to grow out of the tank. When things get closer to the top of the tank we are going to hang a four light shop light from the ceiling over it.
It was really hard to decide to tear the majority of the wisteria and water sprite out but it had just taken over the tank and was looking messy. It's always hard for me to tear a tank apart.
Thanks Corylover

I dumped them into other tanks until I could figure out what to do with it
See the first one is the piece of water sprite I left floating in the 75G
The second is some I dumped in the 29G plant tank, the third is what is growing in the top of the 55g and last but not least is the 29G most of it got dumped into.

Thanks Val I love plants. My husband will tell you I'm always looking for plants I don't have, especially some kind of Anubias or Java Fern and the fish are more happy with plants. That tank has Threadfin rainbows and kuhli loaches who all made themselves scarce when the picture taking was going on
