Good looking tank

I like no hardscape setups!

I tried so hard to make the little hardscape I had visible. :hihi:

Thank you though! The tank is mostly learning how to grow plants. Next tank will be a true aquascape

Sold my Cardinals and bought some Rummy Nose Tetras. I found they school much tighter in smaller tanks. Not as vibrant as the Cardinals but still look great

A little update.

DHG belem is growing in nice. Blyxa started to melt because the L. arcuata (or brevipes, who knows) started to shade them. Might throw in a crypt in the darker spot.

Is that s. repens I see in the foreground? I'm jelly, mine just melts (although it's trying to make a comeback now).

Excellent looking tank.

Wow that really looks great! I think that with the addition of a crypt in the dark spot would fit in pretty well. I would say something like undulata

Yeah I've been looking for something to plant in the dark spot, but I can't think of anything. I'm also planning on adding some sand to create a road or pathway

So a while has passed and I've decided to update this old journal.

Nothing much has changed aside from a bit of hardscape and plant changes. I've assed more stone to give the tank more aesthetics, and moved some plants around to fit everything nicely. I've also stopped doing a lot of water changes and despite this, have been getting nice growth! I've also ripped out the rotala on the left side and replanted the trimmings in order to get rid of the leggy bottom growth as well as to even out the growth with the rotala green. Here's how the tank looks as of today:

After a trim as well as the new sand addition.

Looks great!

I like the new arrangement ~ Can see a lot of nice trimming work

Thanks Dennis, I've been experimenting a lot with my trimming, thanks to you haha.

Well I decided to tear the tank down. This is the last picture I took before everything gets torn down.

My next tank will likely be an iwagumi shrimp tank. I'll post a journal when I gather all the materials.

Fantastic looking tank. I would be hard pressed to take that down!

Your tank looks great! I had a 25gal a long time ago. I loved it!
