nice. those rasboras are the perfect choice for this scape, and i like the bold rocks.

**roybot73** · 05-03-2009, 11:30 AM

Thanks guys!

lushlife - XP1, 2 - 2x18w Coralife with 10K & Colormax right now, and the substrate is mostly ASII with about 3 qts of original AS added on top during the rescape.

I'll try and get some pics up later. Aside from some gsa, it's grown in quite nicely.

Are you using a Hydro external heater on this tank? I am sure this is answered somewhere near the start of this journal but I'm being lazy (sorry). I want to cut the clutter/equipment inside my 20L and I am using your tank as an example of what I want. Thanks for the inspiration.

**chase127** · 06-04-2009, 04:47 AM

OK really dude. update this. before i get upset. plz.

**roybot73** · 06-07-2009, 01:28 PM

Just finished trimming and scraping gda. This one's not in the greatest shape right now -- too much happening in the outside world. Will save Lily scrubbing for next weekend. Pics up later after lights come on -- I've been dying to test out the D90

**roybot73** · 06-07-2009, 06:21 PM

Here it is in all it's ragged glory. As i said earlier, life's pretty busy these days so I don't have a whole lot of time for tanks anymore... There's a fair amount of spirogyra and gda/gsa in here. I'll try and get it licked over the next few weeks and then it's coming down at the end of summer. A crazy amount of Blyxa seems to have made it through into this scape -- not quite sure how... The bald spot at the front left is a result of pulling some out this morning.

I've got an ultra-wide angle lens (Tokina 11-16mm/f 2.8) coming in this week, so I'll get some wide angle shots up sometime soon

nice!

**chase127** · 06-07-2009, 10:06 PM

wow

its awesome

Jack Gilvey · 06-07-2009, 10:49 PM

Very nice! "Ragged Glory" is a most awesome tank name. Neil Young fan?

**roybot73** · 06-08-2009, 01:02 PM

Thanks!

I do like Neil, but wouldn't classify myself as a hardcore fan.
I never really got into the whole tank naming thing...

Nexxorcist · 07-10-2009, 08:16 PM

Gorgeous progression of the tank!

skinz180189 · 07-10-2009, 10:26 PM

Skimmed through most of the thread, and have to say I like the latest layout the most. Simple and effective, makes me rethink my rescape only 7 hours after doing it!

**Wingsdlc** · 07-11-2009, 01:03 AM

Only a 20G long? That last picture sure had me fooled that it was a much larger tank.

**roybot73** · 07-11-2009, 02:16 PM

Thanks! It's been a while, so I'm going to try and get a few pics up later today!
