    A few update pics on the tanks


    Starting to fill in, need to find something nice for the back corners.
    Ferts 15ml TPN and 1 WC
    [​IMG]
    Has taken a while but ,the gloss is moving now, (been pumping the CO2)
    Have had a bit of cyano, but have added some EMC and hopefully it will die soon.
    Need to find some moss and a few ottos in the next 2 weeks.
    Ferts only 25ml TPN per week 1 WC
