thanks, I plan to do a little trim and change out one of the lights in the coralife mini to get a nice mix of color. I'll have new pics up soon.

wow this tank is beautiful. the "title" or theme you have suits this tank perfectly. so hard to believe this is a 2.5 gal

chadly · 09-17-2008, 03:38 PM

Did a trim, changed the bulb, took some better photos....

as of 9-16-08

fish_fasinated · 09-17-2008, 07:39 PM

prettyrustyrobot · 09-17-2008, 08:10 PM

SunkShip · 09-18-2008, 04:39 AM

Wow, this is really a beautiful, natural aquascape. I just got a 5.5 gallon tank today - I'm inspired!

**Ugly Genius** · 09-18-2008, 04:49 AM

chadly, this is a really, really nice tank. It is impossible to tell that this is two and a half gallons. It looks so much bigger.
I think it's only this far from being perfect. ("This far" being the distance from here -->| |<-- to here.)
Keep this tank going! It is so gonna kick butt.

chadly · 09-18-2008, 05:39 AM

I really appreciate all the encouraging comments. Being a working father and having little to no time to spend on this, the smallest of my 7 tanks, I dont' really get a whole lot of time to work on it so yeah, I have been a bit lazy. I really do need to clean the inside of the glass, and keep up with the water changes. They hydrocotyle will need to be moved a little because I'm seeing new sprouts coming up behind the wood rather than spreading out toward the foreground. I thought a little about adding some ranunculus, possibly some type of dwarf lotus, but they'll prob get too big. I really don't want to over do it on plants. I say, few more minor changes and a couple months time and I hope we'll have a winner.
