Dang brooksta, nice little sleeper tank you got going on there. The dual turbines (aka: planted+) are impressive under the hood. You sure it's street legal?

I like the row of blyxa japonica you got going on there. I did something similar in my 17g. Have you tried blyxa aubertii? I'm thinking of trading in 3x blyxa japonca for 1x blyxa aubertii at my LFS.Curious to see how red and taller it gets. Anyways, looking forward to your tank's new developments.

The ar is going from emersed to well.. under water so it's taking a beating behind the scenes... other than that it's pretty ok in that department...

Temp? As in temperamental? Tempestuous? Tempting? TempurPedic?
I know nothing of those fish but they are attractive. Maybe one day...

All of the above.. temporarily planted. They'll be off to your tank tommorow.. they've been the bane of this hobby. So hard to get a quality bred fish. I lucked out, apparently there is a breeder in state..

I have been using tetra flakes / beef heart and sinking Thera+ pellets. Honestly most tetra flakes. What would you recommend?
