Photo update...

Things are growing in very fast. The sag. is taking off. Some swords are suffering but only because they are converting to a submerged state. Tons of new growth coming out of the base. The rotala is at the surface now and there is a lot more to join the few stems that have got there. I will trim and replant when a few more reach the surface.

I've added some guppys and tread fin rainbows. Hoping for some breeding action.

Caught a nice photo of the kids off to school this morning

Had a bit of a trim up last night to get stems for a new tank I've set up. 30% Water change and pads cleaned on the internal filter.

So the jungle scape got very unkept . Looked quite authentic i feel and i really liked it, but the wife didnt, and it is in our living room.

Rescape needed.

Nice video and scape, and I really like the idea of the sponge on the end of the hose

Works a treat. Had the tap on full power.

Good growth in just a few days. No algae. Balance seems just right.

So just over a month progress. The tank is fully settled. Background plants already grown to the top.

Will need its first trim very soon.
