    I totally agree... This might be the only FW tank I have ever seen that I would want to own...

    If you click on the pic it will resize up to whatever size they are on photobucket. They are sized sown in the posts.

    This is supposed to be Ludwigia glandulosa. Should be almost purple in color though so I don't think it is. Looking good though anyway.

    That tank is beyond beautiful! I love all the colors. Do you find the planted tank challenging to keep?

    Thank you Kacy. They are a little easier than a reef. You still need to dose a lot if you are using T5HO. Testing needs to be done also. Just lees of a worry over parameters though since you have a much larger range for the parameters. Less costly too since you need about 1/2 the light and dosing material are cheaper. Less filtration equipment is needed also.

    Thanks, hopefully I can get it back to its full glory with bright red all the way.

    Thanks Mattias

    I'm sure you will have no problems at all with that.
