Looks good! Hey quick question, excuse the potential ignorance, but what's BBA? I've seen it used so many times throughout everyone with a planted tank but never knew what it meant.

Looking sweet Brookster,how bout a better pic of that top secret ar yo?

Getcha sleeves wet fish tank people!

 

[Fresh2o]

That's the way I like the stars...close to the ground and trimmed. And the Ammania looks like a shrub.
I think I have things backwards. I trimmed the Ammania down and put it BEHIND the Blyxa. It will be many weeks before you see it.
Is the AR mini shy or are you planning on growing it tall?

I planted it last week, put some in the low tech as well, see how it does. I'll be hanging the air plant lighting tonight, attempted with fish line and I hated it oh so much.. tore it right down!

From what I can tell it's the skimmer which comes with the sunsun,I have a couple which came with my sunsun's..noticed a film of sorts(excess proteins possibly) on the waters surface..I may try it &see what results I get..

[Brookster123]

My skimmer? Ehiem skim350, the sunsun rig is a little too bootleg for my liking, feel like it'd annoy more often than not.. i like having it on a timer for night. I'm already losing co2 with the ac 70.

Used 1 " aluminum square tubing. Scratched it up a bit, the zip ties will be gone once I remember to bring the 2 sided adhesive in from my truck!

Just stop! Those plants looks nicer in your tank than they did in mine (though I can't recall what I've sent you). Especially the red "divide" separating the pogo from the rest of the greenery. The pogo looks much better in the corner than the Vesuvius did. That is OS/Dr Nano level red in the AR mini.
So this what the BML can do for a tank?

Nice photos! Your apisto looks very similar to the one I got. I was hoping on a fire red, but he's more like orange. Still cool though.

Thanks man,.it's a "triple orange" I believe, the females are "orange flash". Triple red would a lot more red in the Finnage. Havnt seen any out my way yet.

Yeah, I have a trio of triple reds. Payed a fortune for them at an auction and Im getting breeding behavior lately so maybe this weekends water change with cool water will trigger a spawn. They are by far my favorite fish besides maybe my angels and I got the idea to get them from your former avatar with your big guy! Plants are looking killer by the way. I had been running my BML at 75% and got some algae going so put it down to 60% as well. Seems like the magic number, slower growth but still looks healthy and algae is starting to stall, I'm killing it spot treating with excel.
