Lately I've been dealing with some fierce wood fungus, so the other day I overdosed like 8x an Excel dose. As of today it's pretty much all dead, leaving just tattered threads of its previous existence behind. At least it's invisible now.
I planted 3 bunches of baby tears, to help clean the water up a bit. I'm also preparing to obtain all the plants that will be living in this tank... starting with E. tenellus as a carpet. Then will come crypts and anubias, followed by some kind of bushy stem plant. Not sure yet.
For filtration, I'm getting a recently-acquired XP2 ready for launch at the moment. I still need replacement hoses, and I'm pretty sure I should be able to use 5/8" inner diameter tubing in place of the stock Rena ones, so I have to get down to Lowe's tomorrow. I tried going to Home Depot tonight on my way home from work, but they just suck at customer service, and at the last minute (after waiting a half hour to get some help) I had to set the merchandise on the floor and walk out. Lowes deserves my money more, because I always seem to be in and out with them. It'll have to wait til tomorrow.
Anyway, I took some pics but I feel like being lazy right now
