I'm watching my 3 new panda garras pretty much rip out every single plant from the substrate.

Awesome.

eat them

Really nice.

Reef!! But I really do like this planted tank tho.. Maybe do both? A small pico like Dhaut suggested? Or maybe just a reasonably sized aquarium and one that you would actually enjoy like an Elos or something?

was that what you bought them for? since you hate that one guy for making you hate plants and now you hate this tank for not being a reef?

great job. scape is fantastic

I definitely have to start a planted tank

purdy

hey thanks.

i started another one today

UG again?

"mini" micro sword. there's a little bit of UG in the 70, but not much. I moved most out into a container on my desk. it's really taken off (2 week time span below). i hope it flowers soon.

Always thought micro swords would be bigger than that. Thinking I should add it to the HC in my 40B now.

Wow! I'm not generally a freshwater person, but this is gorgeous. Very nice, robot. Very nice.

hey thanks

it still feels weird dosing nitrate

The folks on tpt would freak out if they new this thread was here - with commentary.

What size is the new tank?

14g

Looking at this thread makes me want to get back into freshwater.

plant.... frags?

looks healthier then burger king......but serious the packageing looks good ....easy to take out.looks like a zoo exhibit

That is awesome. Makes me miss my old 14G planted tank

That tank is turning into a true work of art Adin! Do you run a UV sterilizer on that? The only thing negative i can say is the water clarity seems a bit off but damn your scape and plants just look amazing. Really making me want to start up another planted tank.

hey thanks man.

yeah you're absolutely right about the water clarity. there's always tiny crap floating around keeping it a bit hazy. I don't have a filter aside from a sliver of filter pad in the sump.

when i finally get around to it, i'm going to redo the co2 reactor so that it dumps directly into the tank rather than into the sump. that'll (hopefully) free up some space add something to polish the water better.

the plants have been a good break from reefing. i've really enjoyed getting hands on with the plants, much more so than you can with coral in terms of really building on a design an aquascape.

Still one of the nicest planted tanks I've seen. Well done!

plant frags...

Nice tank! Do you have a saltwater?

do not

That's a lovely scape. How come you decided to ditch the peninsula? (Sorry, not that big of a Crypt fan...)

no self-control, i guess?

perhaps if i had used a white sand...

Nice Wabi-Kusa dude. I've been interested in doing one recently. What kind of plants can live in that type of environment?

Most "aquarium" plants can adapt I suppose...

Need to trim

Trim your bush or GTFO IMO.

I'm slowly going to deconstruct the tank to just rocks again

you gonna do an Iwagumi style?

oh shi- duncan hi!

where is the teco adins? also i need micro micrograss
