Well I decided I wanted to know just how fast all my plants are growing so did a massive cut back. While doing that found my BGR laid eggs on a leaf :( oops. And build a moss floor for my Shrimpland tank which will be used for RCS due to my fish will eat most if not all baby shrimplets. Free...
I haven't forgotten my post :) phone took a poo(which I do most of my Internet stuff on) bad stock of rummy nose from LFS out of 24 22 died in 24 hours but have to give them credit they admitting to having poor stock when I came to pu my order and have worked hard to get it right.
