Beautiful tank and fantastic work! Thanks for posting those and killing off any self-esteem I had remaining . What are those clear, suction-cup looking things on the Buces?

Thanks.

Those are plastic/metal push pins like you use on a bulletin board or whatever. In a month or two the Buces will be stuck and I'll take them out

That is a great idea and I'm sure it is so much easier than tying knots under water. I'm assuming they are just the standard ones and nothing specific to aquariums. No problems with them fouling the water?

Wow, what a disaster, I think I saw a brown spot on one of the leaves.

Edit: sorry that was just a smudge on my monitor.

The plants are looking incredible (as always). Do you still have the rasboras in that tank?

You may try filling some plastic bottles about 3/4 full of distilled water. Place them in the freezer and then you can float one in the tank, rotating them as needed. This should help bring the temp down. Good luck!

Best of luck in the completion. Pictures look amazing and always appreciate your posts. I always learn something new...besides my tank will never be as nice as yours .

That moss wall is really impressive and looks fantastic. You should be thankful you do not have any shrimp in that tank. Otherwise you would probably be discarding several hundred of them in that batch. I still never figured out a good way to trim/pull out the moss without finding it all over the tank several days later.

So sorry you had to go through all that but really happy you didn't come home to a dry tank as well.

However, it does make me angry that your emergency setup looks better than anything I could ever hope to accomplish in a planted tank :wink2:.

Hmmm, interesting @burr740 - will have to see if I can duplicate the far wall downforce in my tank. If there, I may consider an in-tank diffuser as an experiment.

My 60g is 48" long. I have a spray bar on the left side of the tank pointing to the right with a decent amount of surface agitation. The flow/down-flow on the right side of the tank is always strong, probably too much so.
