    Still have a smaller tank. Learning as I go along on the big tank.
    Small tank is destined for high tech (co2 and lots of light). Proper substrate and some "difficult" plants.
    Will be my first high tech attempt so learning as much as I can before leaping

    If you're looking for a CO2 setup, I have a spare 2kg AD bottle and single gauge SAGA regulator with solenoid. There are also diffusers, bubble counters, etc.

    Growth on the plants is fantastic.
    With all the babies appearing you must be doing something right.

    Time for an update
    Really happy with the progress made.
    Fish doing great and plants filling in nicely.
    Been able to give away fish and plants and still have a nice tank to enjoy. [​IMG]

    Thanks guys
    For me it is awesome to see how the tank has progressed from filled with non-aquatic plants to where it is now. Keeping things simple with easy to grow plants can create a lush environment that displays nicely.
