Yes, yes I know another 60-P. I swear they are breeding like rabbits right now, but this is my third go at it. I plan to fill it sometime during the winter holidays.

I made a time lapse of scaping and planting.

Not much of an update for the 60p but I got a 45f. I want to do a low maintenance iwagumi and have it in my built in cabinet. It will probably be a few months before I do anything with it, but I have the light, filter, heater, and plants already. We will need to modify the cabinet a bit to fit it. I am also thinking to have it be shrimp only, no CO2 and hopefully a lot less work than the 60P.

Very lovely scape, great colors to catch the eye! I did not see this in your first post so pardon if I missed it, what is you substrate?

I had an algae outbreak which the tank has almost recovered from. Once the plants reach the top again I'll trim to try to encourage them to be more bushy, and trim the glosso again. I have already done this once, so they have grown about 6" since then. I also received my trident fern, mini fissidens, mini pellia, and I threw in some rotala butterfly mini and staurogyne repens to grow out before I put put them in my emersed tubs.

Now the only improvement I want beside good growth is for the rotala rotundfolia to turn orange again.



Pearling!
