I don't. It was still boring. Anyways to be back on topic is the co2 all still working good? I finally have two juice bottles just have to buy some other supplies lol.
 
:lol: Yes, the CO2 is working great. My algae is almost all gone again :)

Edit: Pics!

FTS:


Tiger Barbs:

^Colored up so nicely!

Random shot of a ramshorn :)
 
Limited number of pics per post... but Gold Barbs!






^This one includes a reflection, I just like it cuz my tank would look like that if I had 22 Gold Barbs... HMMM.... ;) Plans for the future?


^One with flash


^Probably the best pic of the Golds so far? :)
 
Amazing tank! Great work. Makes me want a barb tank too(bad Dobby, bad Dobby!).

Oh, and why do your pics link to ballsgohere.com? :p

Hey, I re-scaped. Pics! :lol:



FTS above, from an angle below.



I've been playing with my camera settings to get better pics... What do you think of this next one? Better shot of the fish?



Here's a detail... including the fish who still has a little bump, but wayyyy better than when I got him. I am about 80% sure this one is a male, it doesn't have much spotting, but it has some, and also is not as large as some others.



Hope you like them!

Edit: Tank is cloudy for a few reasons... too many water changes due to meds make for more algae on the glass. Also the meds are powdery in the tank as well.
 
One fish now has a large white patch on her left side. It looks sorta like columnaris or fungus.

At least there is a visible sign so I can try to fix it. Up until now I have only seen flashing. Whatever is attacking my fish, it sure has been a nightmare. They've been sick for so long now...
 
Ok i am aobut to sound like a fool but what does flashing mean?
I am sorry about that i just have never heard of that. Omg i love the tank so nice love the greens!
 
Hey Jason,

This is a late reply :lol: but flashing is when a fish scrapes its body against glass, decor, or substrate because something is attacking its slime coat, scales, or gills. :(

Anyway, the reason I am updating this thread is because I finally added my Tiger Barbs to my display tank! :D

No pics because, unfortunately, my tank has a horrid case of Green Dust Algae on the glass. Once I get it taken care of, I'll post a FTS :)

My fish are still flashing a little bit, but melafix + pimafix seems to take care of it, so I will continue to dose them. I went ahead and added the TBs because I cross-contaminated my QT by using the same python... so it's actually less medication to treat only the main tank.

:D This is the first time I have thoroughly planned and stocked a tank to completion. Before, I had a nasty crash and burn from disease and aggression. Thank you all for teaching me so much, answering my questions, and following along as I built this tank!

The fish are getting along great.
