Awesome I really only follow my local stores around me on fb for when they've got new deals in. Like one of my lfs has wild caught Betta pairs in at the moment. I just stared at them or like half an hour they were so beautiful. I just did some clipping on my tank so it's not worthy showing and I'm still tryin to balance my nutrients to plants and co2 as I have some algae setting in.

Any suggestions on my tank. The hygro will grow back and fill up that back right corner. I think I'm finally...happy with this tank.....I took out a failing carpet of brazillian chain sword yesterday and am actually enjoying the open space an layout. Not sure if I should move things forward more or what I should add something to that open space. I'll be adding more amazon swords to the back corner when the one I just put in grows and propagates. Plus thinking of maybe some crypt undulata and wendti in front of the dw and moving the parva down more. Any suggestions or thoughts
Sorry for the dodgy iPhone 4 photo.
There is diatoms on the giant baby tears but it won't be a problem as I'm about to pick up a small school of otos.

I'm trying to get my chain swords to fill in the bottom of my 55g.

I gave up on them. They looked strong two weeks ago they've been in since Easter when I set this tank up. But they just kept on getting dug up by my rams and became a real algae magnet. My lighting is a diy led system I put together so that's probably my main fault and I need to start up a diy co2 system.
May try dwarf sag but that'd be it

I have a really strong coral life light. What's your subtract? My rams have never dug up mine.

Fluval strat, was the cheapest and only substrate I could find at any store. I'm not really allowed to shop online....?

Mines matt_finn97, I don't post any pics of my tanks though.

I bought activ flora. It's supposably the best subtract for plants. I had to buy it online no store near me had it.

Yeah wish I could buy online, so frustrating. This is my first planted tank though. I think I really finally happy if I can get rid of this diatoms....

Yea, I've been told many times that I'm waisting my money. I've also had my own debit card since I was 12.
