    I am using the green one currently - as far as I understood the yellow one is more iron rich and there is plenty of iron in my tank thanks to the flourite and I add a little of the seachem iron about once every 2 weeks.

    Ferts I dose in this tank - 4 squirts of the green tropica once a week. water changes is now on 1 a month at 50%. The rest of the time I just top it up.

    That looks awesome Angie. That Bolbitis does look good in there. Mine has to grow a fair bit. But I find them slower growing then ferns. Eish.

    Thanks dude! Its actually very slow growing in my 40L tank but in this tank with the high light (I think its the 10000 K light bulb that makes the difference)

    I have to say I am very chuffed with this tank.

    Ok so it was time for a drastic change on this tank. All the plants had melted away for some weird reason (I suspect my lights are dying waiting on new ones now)

    We rescaped my brothers tank a few weeks ago and had some crypts and ferns and rocks and wood left over. So had to rescape this tank.
