What to ask Santa for;

[Mousemommy]

So, I really like my Marineland portrait 5g, and of course so far I've upgraded everything BUT the light.
I like LEDs for the lack of heat, energy saving and the blue colored light option - white fish, blue light, glass of wine and jazz is way better than tv!
As you can see, it does OK with some low light plants and mosses, but I'm planning a re-scapeing event this weekend. These are what I foolishly purchased to cover the background.
Santa is bringing me some root tabs because the Excel is OK and helped with my brown diatoms, but I'd like better growth.

Note to those who suggest CO2- all in good time my friends- just not now and not in this tank.
Any suggestions?




I don't know why they call it a hobby ~ it's an addiction ?

Finnex stingray LED, rig up a DIY co2 system. And with all the money you saved on the lights go get some hardscape or brightwell.

Thanks for the info. This is what I think I'll ask Santa for
It looks pretty much the same, but it has the blue option I really enjoy. I've been researching the DYI CO2 systems. If they're really as easy as 3 old water bottles and some yeast mixture- I think I can do that.

Thanks again for the feedback, sorry it took so long to reply. This App keeps crashing on me.

I do DIY Co2 with 2. Old 2ltr bottles. Works great.
