    Thanks Hennie, Sean and Chris. I went away to JHB for 3 days and got back last night and the tank seems ok. :top:

    I have a Bolbitus log I'm thinking of bringing into the tank in the current gap and then placing Christmas moss on the piece on the right and then some sort of carpet in front of all the wood?

    Really stunning! Your tank makes the harlequin rasbora look good!

    What's the coloured plant sticking out at the right-hand back?

    Cheers @Dinky. The plant you are asking about is probably Rotala Macranda. Really awesome when it gets high light. Mine goes blood red when it gets to the surface.

    Still looking great as always.
    How do you find the algae magnet scraper, and does yours'e also become a bit "jerky" when you pull it across the glass?
    Mine did that and the fish does not like it much.

    @Good_Times - Thanks for the comment. Yup, the magnet cleaner definitely jerks at times which certainly freaks my angels out. Just be careful if you have the same size one as me. It is seriously strong and could crack a thinner glass tank if the two magnets make contact from a distance.

    Don't trim, its a completely valid point (excuse) to get a larger tank :)
