Before and after

[DragonFish71]

Our 80g BW tank before and after. Lost a lot of the plants when we re-set up the tank. They're slowly recovering.

And our 40g before and after. Before shot is when we first set it up almost 3 years ago now, after is how it looks now after a substrate change.

GREAT tanks, Jamie!

Did you take out the sword out of the pot? Looks like it on the second pic. Tank looks nice

Thank you very much! And actually, I kept the pot. Swords do tend to grow pretty big, so I hoped the pot would stall the growth so it didn't crowd my tank. I just buried the pot deeply into the gravel.

And our 40g before and after. Before shot is when we first set it up almost 3 years ago now, after is how it looks now after a substrate change.

For what it's worth, that tank is BEAUTIFUL. It sounds kinda awful, but I almost love the underwater jungle even more than actual fish itself. I hope to have a tank like yours someday.

Looks really nice!

Aw thanks y'all.

That 40 is my pride and joy. It's home to 2 pairs of happy kribs, soon to add a 3rd pair, this time albino. It was supposed to be for GBRs but never had luck with them in there.

Not to say I don't love my 80, but ever since we had to tear it down to put in hardwood floors and set it back up I've had problems with my plants. *Mutters and shakes my fist at my hubby*

Hey, I have that same tall green plant on the left! (the last pic)

Still not as amazing as DragonFish71's tank, but this is mine after upgrading to a 29-gallon tank from the ten-gallon you saw before.
