great looking tank, what lights are you using?

Very nice tank. I didn't know glass tanks could have rounded edges.

Thanks. I have two Hagen T5HO fixtures. One with 2x54W, one with 1x54W. All Hagen Life Glo bulbs (6700k).

I had two Hagen fixtures of 2x54W each (total of 4x54W) but got so much GSA I backed off to 3x54. Now no algae issues, plants all still grow great.

that is really a beautiful tank. Love the rounded corners. Is it any more difficult to clean that way?

Thanks. No not really. But I typically keep my GDA under control so it does not build up too much. I use coarse filter floss cut to about credit card size and wipe the inside of the tank and around the corners while I'm doing my weekly 50% water change...

What a awesome tank! Those are some really happy Bosemani Rainbows

**Tex Gal** · 02-26-2009, 02:04 AM

Love your tank! It's a tank after my own heart- a collector's tank. I love all the varieties you have in there! Love all the colors and textures. Your placement, heights, and shapes are great! Love it!

Rich, your photographs are amazing! Very inspiring. I think I'll go outside now and look at the world in a whole new way!

Really nice. I think that this style, something like a Dutch aquarium but more free, is my favorite. You have such nice contrasts of the pretty forms and colors of your plants.

Tex Gal has a similar setup that also looks fantastic.

Like what you did, it is inspiring. How long was your battle with BBA & did the c02 take care of it?

**dewalltheway** · 05-05-2009, 01:50 PM

Very nice tank Rich! I can see why people say to buy your plants on SNS. Very nice color and texture. Don't you just love the Rainbows!

Thanks. It took about 1-2 months of diligence to finally get the BBA under serous control. And yes, consistent CO2 seem to solve most of the issue.
