Things are going well with this tank, much unlike the 20g :P with only a little green algae on the glass probably due to too great of a light period. This tank has no timer so either me or the wife (whichever one wakes up latest) turns it on in the morning and then we turn it off before bedtime.
Everything seems to be growing well given the hood only has an 8w bulb. I even chucked an Erio type2 top in there for giggles last week and its growing. I'm already seeing runners from the Dwarf sag and its time to trim all of the rotala and re-plant the tops to get the bushy look going. The mystery plant is growing like mad and has tripled in size, I still need to find out what it is!!! Still leaning toward it being creeping jenny. I put a few leaves of salvina natans in the tank that came as a hitcher with some snails and its multiplying well also. I know its a pest once it gets going but its such a neat little plant.
So here's some pics that I snapped this weekend...
This one from a distance a bit to show its location on the nightstand:
And one a little closer in:
Thinking of maybe moving the mystery plant to the front left of the tank to get it out of the middle section. I had no idea it would grow so fast. And maybe moving both the ludwiga sprigs to the far right front since I kinda just plugged them in there to begin with. I would pull them out completely but I've seen 'pickle' (the DP) sleeping under the low lying leaves on several occasions.
