120 gallon planted, before and after

[severum mama]

I did some re-scaping in the 120 gallon today. I took out the anubias that the Rotkeils have been shredding and put it in another tank so it will hopefully start looking better- they have made this planted tank quite a challenge, LOL. I moved around some of the driftwood too, and the sword plant. What do you all think?

BEFORE

AFTER

too empty lol you need some foreground plants.

 

[severum mama]

Agreed. The only thing that even has a chance at survival is more crypts, LOL. For some reason they aren't showing up against the sand in the last pic. There are actually quite a few in there, they just need to grow in, and we need to get some more.

 

[mgamer20o0]

how come? the swords are growing other foreground should work.

 

[severum mama]

The Rotkeils eat them, LOL. I don't know how the sword has survived this long.

Hey MG, where's that pack of crypts that was supposed to be a wedding gift?! lol

 

[mgamer20o0]

your tank is beautiful. When i get more money in the future im definetly upgrading to a tank like that. Very nice tank.

 

[severum mama]

Thank you! There's still a long way to go before we'll be satisfied, but such is the hobby... LOL

Like I said, the severums make it a real challenge. We just can't give them up... they're too cool.

 

[severum mama]

Here's a FTS from tonight... thanks so much to Atl300ZX for the new plants!!!!

 

[mgamer20o0]

much better. needle leaf java fern in back really plugs a few holes. makes it look a lot better. just need a small foreground plant lol and you will be set lol

 

[severum mama]

If the fish will leave it alone we're game lol.

 

[mgamer20o0]

could use egg creates to give the plants a chance to root and start growing..

It's not a matter of the fish uprooting them, they EAT them. lol

What kind of light do you guys have on it? Also, is it CO2 injected? Good job by the way. Like MG said, the needle ferns really filled in the back.
