    Hey all.

    So here's what Iv'e been up to. Been thinking of something different and setled on the idea of having a nature inspired scape. So I took down the 5 foot, cleaned everything and took a road trip to find some goodies. For now the tank is very bare... But that will chnge in good time. Got flourite black for the back and used pfs in the front. No Co2 on the ank yet as I sill need to find a Splitter somewhere to use on both tanks.

    Anway the bolbitis will move to the back. Left back will have Ludwigia arcuata, repens, lymnohila aromatica and star grass. Right hand side will be crypts only. Crypt wendtii green and brown. Undulata.

    Hey Hennie. Thanks. Was nice meeting you man. And yes got the wood and flourite so it was worth while. Got some Rainbows and also two Bumblebee Goby's. Nice big hole in the pocket but it was worth every penny.

    Remember that the Bumblebee Goby's are brackiesh and might not survive in the fresh water. What Rainbows did you get?
