That one is not mine, just on the wish list for another tank.

While I'm here, FTS



My Fissidens still has a little sediment on the leaves but it gets cleaner by the day using the RO water

Thanks 2in10.

Every year we go to PA and have meeting/auction with another club at That Pet Place, it's a nice ride, the store is huge, prices are great, but they don't really have anything out of the ordinary but they do have any equipment you can think of, like tanks. Any way I got some new plants, Blyxa japonica & aubertii, Rotalla wallichii, and Sphaerocaryum malaccense, so as soon as I make some room in my tank I'll get some photos. Not that is matter because there is so much plant material in there it's hard to see any one thing.

Oh the tank they had to day in the scratch and dent clearance room was a 220 gallon drilled on the left end and back with starphire glass and black silicone, with a custom Cherry stand and hood, I'm guess the holes were drilled in the wrong place but it was absolutely beautiful but no price tag, some lucky person had already made a deposit.

Tomorrow, I'm to lazy to plant them tonight, it's been a long day with 2.5 hours drive one way. Also we were right around the corner from Racheal and she's on vacation so we didn't get any Orange Oto's or Shrimp!

Why does the fissidens keep getting cleaner when you use RO?

I guess my water had a lot of sediment that collects on the leaves, the sediment filter was brown after the first use of the unit.

Blyxa japonica & aubertii, Rotalla wallichii, and Sphaerocaryum malaccense, but I haven't added them to the tank yet. I'm going to do it today but it may take some rearrangement.

Yep, they are still in there.

The new plants are in the tank but it's such a jungle you'll never find them, sorry about the reflections and poor photo.

Thanks guys/gals I appreciate that!!!!

I think it's fun to look back in your history and post your first tank journal shot along side a current photo, this one is from 4-20-2011 and it is miles away from the current shot. I only have 4 species of plant left over from the original planting but the good news I have 37 species total now and it has filled in a little.
