First off, let me preface my 'log' by saying that I'm one of those people that knows a whole lot about planted tanks, but am also lazy. I don't always practice what I preach.
Thus, in my 75gallon log, you'll see various times where the tank looks terrible, and other times where it looks amazing. One plant to keep an eye on is the java fern that's wedged in near the tip of the big driftwood.
Here's the tank when I set it up back in late December of 2003
Here we have it just 3 months later, last week of March 2004
Pretty dense plant growth, never had a serious algae bloom either, just nuisance stuff here and there.
Now we'll jump clear to January 2005, and my 'jungle' phase
I need to take some more recent photos. A lot of 2005 pics look similar, and it was a busy year for me.
You can check out the history of this tank, as well as fish stocking, hardware, and other tank specs on my webpage
