Thanks all! Family (and I - testing positive a week later LOL) all recovered well. The CPD’s made it into the tank and they’re delightful! I’ve been very busy as of late but will put together another post in the next week or so.

Thank you for the comment! I am excited as well. It may have to wait another week however, most of my family has covid and they're all holed up in the basement (where my tank is). I've been able to pop down to take care topping off the water and feeding but I'll probably avoid spending a couple...

Lovely project! Look forward to updates :)

Well it's been a minute (or two lol) since I last posted here. The tank has changed quite a bit since the last update. I've managed to keep the enthusiasm up and have worked to keep it feeling fresh. This was an image from mid-June: As you can see, most of the moss has been removed. Frankly...

My pleasure. Sent :)

Thanks Bradley! Appreciate the comments/questions. I didn’t go out from the start with an endless budget but some of my earlier ideas as it related to the size of tank, quality of tank and stand did change quite a bit when I actually went to the store. It was really hard NOT to buy the rimless...

It's been a minute - evening all! So after a bit of frustration with the GDA, I decided to ease back on the dosing; temporary transitioning back to Thrive S (along with the supplimental K and Trace). Not that I really think the 2hr Complete was actually doing much, but I figured maybe changing...

Glad you were able to get it sorted! A small tank to start with sounds easy enough but it's pretty unforgiving when things go wrong. You'll enjoy the larger tank - just make sure you've got a filter than can cycle the water at least 4-5 times per hour. Or more, depending on the bioload. Safe...

Evening all, Been a while since an update; everything is growing in nicely and I'm really enjoying the Marsilea Hisuta. It's beginning to fill out and I appreciate the nice variation in size and shape. Plus having less Cuba to maintain is ideal for me. The S. Repens is coming along as well. I...

Alright, alright, alright. Another couple weeks since the last update. Much has happened. After getting frustrated again with the layout. I decided to clean up the front right corner. Pulled up all of the AR Mini, as well as some of the Bacopa C. Sucked up a large amount of old AS and...

Really enjoy your journal! Beauty tank and your plant maintenance skills are excellent. The AR Mini is very well kept. ;)

Long time listener, first time poster to this monthly thread. This is my 48 gal, which has been up and running for 1.2 years. CO2, and all the trappings. Enjoy

Thank you! Sometimes I wouldn’t mind doing it for a living - if possible. Although my skills are nowhere near those whom I envy. Weekends come and go too quickly lol. Much appreciated ;)

Another update: I've decided that to renew (and maintain) my interest in keeping this tank in it's current state - because I do not have the time (not extra funds) to so a rescape - I have to play with the layout more, pull old sections of plants, remove elements of hardscape that have been...

Thank you so much for the kind words. I will start posting again more regularly - I've found a renewed passion for the process. I'll be sharing some stories about some in's and out's with the tank. Hope all is well in your world too! :) Thank you! It's nice to hear that people we're still...

It's been a long, long time. Almost a year since my last post. A lot has happened since (some tank related, some not), but we're here to talk aquariums and I am very happy to report that it is still going pretty strong. This planted tank has been going for one year two months now, and I can say...

SO a full week and ALMOST all of my rassies have survived. Sadly we had a jumper and we're not sure how it happened, but the little pup got stepped on. It was pretty sad because I can't figure out when it happened but we were trying to get out of the house for an overnight trip and it must...

Totally agree - it's a lot stronger than I imagined as well. For standard depth tanks, it's got great PAR (totally based on how dense my HC and Alterna Mini is growing). I love that you can tone down the blue spectrum as well - out of curosity; would you be able to post or share your lighting...

Forgive me, but are you using RO water or is your tap very soft? I can’t recall - I was only thinking about that because I’ll definitely need an RO system to do a BW as my tap is about 7-8 kH at the best time of year.

Wow! That buce is stunning - incredibly rich in colour. I would love to incorporate some of that in my next tank. What lighting do you use? The rendition is fantastic.
