Well, it ain't dead yet. It's still running and will be for another month or so. All of the fish from my 60-P are now being housed in this tank. I'll be stealing the rockwork out of this thing to use in the new 60-P layout. After that's cycled and stabilized, this thing's coming down and won't be set up again. I'll probably use the tank and lights toward the end of winter to start some flower or herb seeds for planting in mid spring. The filter will probably go on the S&S as well as a whole lot of other stuff I've got laying around. Time to streamline the operation

This was my first proper planted tank, and she had one hell of a run. I learned quite a bit!

i've had cichlid tanks all my life but i'm (extremely) new to planted tanks. i have a 20L and searched out all the 20L threads on this forum. i must say i learned a lot from this one in particular. sad to see your 20L go but thanks for the great thread!

That's awesome! I'm glad you could glean some kinda something from this journal!

Well, due to this morning's discovery regarding the 60-P, this baby's staying alive a little longer than I thought. Gonna remove the rocks tomorrow and scrub them down with some bleach. I'm currently doing 50% water changes daily and dosing H2O2 and Excel in an effort to eradicate some spirogyra. Don't want that nasty stuff in the new setup.
The newly gained real estate from the rock removal will serve as farmland for a whole lotta crypts I've recieved in the last few days.

Hey roybot!!! awesome tank!!! where did you order your Coralife T5's with 10K bulbs??? and how much did it end up costing you???
...I'm asking because someone offered me a Coralife 30" 1x65W power compact w/3 new bulbs (12K, 10K, actinic) for $40...is that a good price??? and will it be sufficient in my 20L (want to grow cryps, anubias, HC, glosso) ...i like your growth and I'm hoping for the same success

Great fixtures for the price.
