6/25/08 - most plants doing well, have to trim at least once a week. Fish doing well (the ones that survived). Don't have to dose nitrate, as the natural levels in the tank are between 15 and 25.
May 15 - Plants growing like crazy, along with some hair algae (I think that's what it is). Still no fish or shrimp.
May 3, 2008 - Juuust starting out...

Very nice ... bet this'll be spectacular in about another month. Any idea what fish you plan to put in?

Thanks! Oto's, cories, cardinal, rummy noses, and maybe angels, I haven't decided yet.
