Well, it's been a year since I first started my tank and a lot has happened. I lost track of my journal some time ago, but miss tracking my progress, so hopefully I can start it up again.
The plants are thriving. I have to prune some of them regularly, but I don't mind. It's relaxing. I keep thinking about selling or giving away cuttings from the plants, but haven't bothered so far.
I have ramshorns and assassins and they seem well. The assassins are happily eating the ramshorns and the ramshorns keep breeding. I even spotted a wee baby assassin today too.
I re-homed one of the bn plecos because he was aggressive and keeping the other away from the food. I see the other one a lot more now.
The schools of neon/cardinal tetras and the glowlight rasboras are doing well.
I'd like to add the pandas next month, but I may need to replace my heater first. It almost looks like there's water in it, but I'm not sure yet.
I just replaced my filter (again) after having a filter failure. But that's another
thread.
It's really neat to look back through this thread and see the changes to my tank over time. It's weird to think that this time last year it was bare!
That's all for the moment. Let's see if this actually posts! If it works, I'll add a picture too.
