Basically transferred everything, except a Anubias and some driftwood. Bought an Amazon Sword and 5 Otos after the tank had been up and running for a week (had been storing extra media in my filter to transfer into my Fluval 405 and most of the substrate was direct transfer, so no cycle worries). I also let my water parameters get out of sorts (on purpose), so that the plants and driftwood would have some algae on them for the Otos. The old 55 is now moved into the basement as well. Going to be making it a low light planted with Gouramis and a Clown Pleco, and later some Corys to pick up what the Gouramis don't eat.ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1417812478.268196.jpgImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1417812519.998856.jpgImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1417812532.162827.jpgImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1417812547.112034.jpgImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1417812575.943153.jpg

Looks like my plan about letting some BBA grow on the Ludwigia's leaves panned out. The Otos have spend most of the day cleaning them. ?ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1417836745.963763.jpg
