1ft Cube - Jungle Scape

Added Co2 to this tank, lets see how all the ferns respond, the glass diffuser makes a hissing noise, its driving me crazy, may need to try a different diffuser.

Lol no I picked up a good deal on a second hand regulator and co2 bottle, low tech was just to slow for me :p
 
Do you turn the marimo at all? Just wondered how they do in situ as I've ripped them open before for a carpet but not left them as is.

I do try turn them every now and then, but now I think about it I have not really turned these ones in months, they seem to do ok if you dont turn them, they just grow more fluffy on one side.
 
Moved a bunch of ferns around today and feel the scape look much better, more balanced, the big ferns didnt suit, tho they are still there back left behind the filter, i trimmed of the big leafs.

I added 10 Celestial Pearl Danio's today, really nice fish! Hard to photograph they are shy! In the photo below I managed to capture 3 in front of the buce plants.

Picked up a second hand Macro lens, tricky to focus on fish that dont want to stay still but I can see this lens being a favourite!

Here are some photos of the CPDs, they seem to be liking crushed up dry blood worms, they are not the biggest fans of the dry food I have for my boraras but I have ordered some other feed to try. They are getting a little more brave and when feeding today I am pretty sure all 10 came out to the front of the tank.

Macro is great
Very hard to do with a moving subject as depth of field is very shallow
Which lens did you get ?

Thanks, these are my first ever macro shots on my DSLR, apart from taking a photo of the lens cap to test the lens worked. I am using a Canon EF 100mm f2.8 Macro USM Lens I pick up second hand for cheap. I think it will be a very fun lens to use.

Thanks mate!

I added 6 Pigmy Corys today, they are a bit easier to photograph, not shy at all :p Again colours are probably all over the place, still learning about photography. Because the corys hand near the front glass you can see all the dirt and scratches on this tank :p
