It's been awhile since I posted pics (at least I think it has been).

The tank:

A true Sunset Hygro "forest"

Bacopa/moneywort (comes with house broken ramshorn):

Amazon "sandwich"

"I don't think he can see me".

hey mate, looooove the pics...looks great
quick question though, in the 3rd pic, what are those snails called? i got some in another tank i scored but am unsure what they are...They appear to have "tiger stripes" and are like a red slug.

 

[Jchillin]

Those are ramshorns...very nice snail for the planted tank, consumes dead plant matter and of course, leftover foods.

Thanks for the kind words.

 

[Hara]

you have leftover food?!?

 

[roka64]

Very nice!

 

[plecoperson]

Please stop pretending those are real plants. They are too scrumptious to be living. And let us know where you got those beeeyoootiful fakes!!!

Yikes! Gorgeous tank.....

Gorgeous bill!

 

[Jchillin]

awww...thanks guys. Yes Hara, unbelievable as it may sound, there is leftover food occassionally.

Beautiful. I love the open spaces to the left and right of the sunset hygro - it adds alot of interest to have the taller hygro surrounded by shorter plants. Very nice indeed !

I"m just always amazed that that's a low tech tank. Looks fantastic.

What JRagg said. Great tank.

Looking really great Bill! You inspired me to try the low light planted tank. Mine isn't as well grown in or looks as good but thanks for the inspiration.

Very very nice. I also can't get over that that's a low light tank. Nice work.

I didn't notice that affect...thanks for pointing that out Joannde. *Makes note for future aquascaping ideas*.

You can only imagine how shocked I am...LOL!

You inspired me to try the low light planted tank.

Goodness knows we're outnumbered by the fuel injected crowd. Your tank will get there, takes time and tons of patience.

Beautiful.thats low light? Cool! Hope mine can look like that

 

[travis simonson]

That is an amazing looking tank Bill. "I can't believe it's not butter err . . . low-light " The plants look incredibly healthy, even for a non-"fuel-injected" tank

 

[gfink]

What size tank, and type of light?

 

[sherry]

gotta love that tank!!! I am completely impressed.

 

[Jchillin]

What size tank, and type of light?

I apologize gfink, didn't notice this until today:

Thanks....I was actually contemplating a low tech 75 on my drive home tonight. Was thinking 2 wpg NO would be nice.
