Looks really nice! Is that manzanita? It has really taken on a dark shade in that photo. I love it

yep! got it from badcopnofishtank and it is really nice!

the darker spots of the wood are in the shade because of the size of the piece. it takes up almost the entire spacing from front to back if I turn it the right way. I have it in there twisted some to the side so I can get the stems planted behind it.

thank you!

This looks great, the glosso has really taken off, hasn't it. And you were asking originally if it would do well in mineralized soil.

[Torpedobarb]

lol... I wasn't sure if it would or not.. but now I realize that it does better in a nutrient rich substrate! even since I trimmed it away from the glass it has already sent runners right back to it. the crypts are growing out of control! they are getting large and bushy like and the deep reddish color is coming out.

[Torpedobarb]

here are a few new pictures.... my crypts have gone crazy! I added a few weeks ago some blyxa japonica.. growing nicely. look at how the p stellatus has grown in a week.

some really nice pictures of my congos too!

It looks great! Sorry if I missed it, but what are the LED strips for?

[Torpedobarb]

those are the lunar lights. I bought that strip on ebay last year for about 25.00.. I used to have the glass top so I just had it laying on there. now with the fixture up high like it is and the open top I just used double faced tape and attached it pointing down towards the front of the tank..

do you think that my light fixture would get too hot for the led closure? it is made of plastic with rubber end caps. I can attach it with some really strong double faced tape.

[CL]

I'm not sure about the lights, but how do you like the flow accelerators?

[fish-aholic]

Looking good. I love your congos!
