Some fresh after trim/maintinence/moving stuff around pics!

**bsmith** · 02-04-2009, 06:10 PM

WOW, I really need to take some pics. The growth is really filling in. Yesterday on a whim I purchases 10 white cloud minnows. I was originally looking for some Cardinals but couldnt find any. I really like the clouds though, they are very active. I want to get about 10 more. I want to get a total of 20 WC's and 20 cardinals. I think it will look nice with those fish.

Yeah, new pics

Man I love the pink tennellus....Looks like it may be the next plant I try to pick up.

**bsmith** · 02-07-2009, 12:43 AM

I have been busy.

Very nice tank! Good to see another St. Louisan on here!
If your still looking for cardinals the Petsmart on Lemay Ferry Rd had some the other day.

Cool tank. I really like time lapse effect with all those pics on the first page. The hole in your shelf for the Co2 cylinder is pretty nifty too. Good idea.

Keep up the good work!

Unfortunatly my tank is still in the setup stage. Ive always been apprehensive about keeping discus with the extremely hard water around here.

**bsmith** · 02-07-2009, 09:51 PM

If the discus were born and raised here in our water conditions then they will be fine. Just make sure it's a local breeder.

Here they are.
FTS

Right side. Green Aromatica, L.Arcuatua and some Anubis I was hoping would start growing. The transition from lowlight to Highlight hasnt been too good, as you can see.

Bamboo forest

Left side. You can see my sorry looking split Erios. What im wanting to do here is have the Polygonum "porto vehlo" grow over them and create a slight shade effect on the Erios. Also you can see the Hygro "porto vehlo" that I just can get rid of.

My colorful Aromatica.

Another FTS.

Holy crap I hope my Bamboo will end up looking that good

**bsmith** · 02-10-2009, 01:46 AM

I find that after trimming about 2 times it is best to get rid of the bottoms. Last time I sold like 12 tattered bottoms for like $10. Did I mention I hate throwing plants out?
