Well it's been a while since I posted anything on this tank, Life has been fairly busy. We just moved last weekend and that meant a complete teardown and rescape. The move was only about 5 miles, so I was able to get the tank torn down, transported, and set back up in the same day (although I got done at about 3:00 am!) I left all the water in the (filthy) filter, but I did take the opportunity to rinse the substrate well.

I also took the opportunity to repaint my stand and hood, the glossy black was just looking a little too 80's to me, it's now a lovely satiny dark brownish-greenish something or other.

The plants and fish have been doing extremely well in the last week, by midday they are pearling so heavily that there are little streams of bubbles coming from some of them! - the plants of course.

Tested the water yesterday and ammonia was 0, nitrites 0, and nitrates 10ppm, I've been holding off on full fertilizing in case I had a mini-cycle, but I think everything is restabilized at this point.

Oh and to all who have commented on that sword you will be happy to hear that it had actually split at the base into three distinct plants, I replanted two of them for now, but had to get rid of the third, I'm pretty sure the three of them would fill the whole tank by themselves.

No photos yet (still need to unpack my camera ) but I will try to have some up this week.

Wow, I guess it's been a while since I've updated this...

So here's a FTS from back in the end of August, it shows the rescape after the move and the 2 now separate swords:


And here it is today, It may just be time for a trim...


Almost hard to believe only a month went by between those photos, huh?

And here's a shot of the little guy that makes me "Logan's Daddy" - he just loves looking at his "fissies!"

Those Swords are big! I like the way your aquarium looks, nice full growth but plenty of swimming space for the fish. That gourami looks happy! It looks like you could fit another driftwood in the rear/right corner, and let it peak out by the surface

Yeah, I've been holding out on the trimming so I would have plenty to bring to the Portland Plant swap meet coming up this month, The sword to the Left will be one of my offerings, hope somebody has some room for it...

As always thanks for the kind words.

Hopefully this tank will be retired soon and contents transferred to the new 75 - and by the way zerozax I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on that driftwood on the 18th! It looks perfect for what I have planned.

mabuhay!

I just simply love your setup. I love the sword. I am also an aquatic gardener who loves those kind of plants no matter what the size of the aquarium is.

Congrats and keep on posting.

Godbless
