Is the water yellowish?

Looks great! I'm not crazy about the plant growing out of the tank, but otherwise, it's wonderful.

I really appreciate the fact that you re sticking with the thread because the transition from your May photos to those from today are very indicative of the kind of success we can acheive with time, patience and staying with how you originally set it up. It looks fantastic, especially the transitional growth from the decorative sand to the anubias, then behind the lush growth of java ferns, etc., Well done and thanks for sharing. It is inspirational.

Thanks so much everyone!!!


chester Thanks! I do agree. The rotundifolia on the right dos need to fill in a bit to be correctly proportional!

bigstick120 - Hmm...hadn't thought about it! Thanks for the suggestion!

Jessie - The fish are in there! At least 30 cardinals. They hide now, because my 2 year old daughter is a maniac. She scares the crap out of them. The macrandra is a fussy plant. I tried it years ago in Flourite dosing EI and it just DIED. It seems to like the parameters its in now, and the AquaSoil. Have I listed parameters anywhere yet?

NO3 - 9.5ppm
PO4 - 1.5ppm
K+ >30ppm (dosing Equilibrium to reconstitute RO/DI water)
gH - 4-5dgH
kH <1dkH
Flourish & Flourish Iron 8mL EACH, daily.

valice - Nah - the water is quite clear. Tannins leached out and were removed with water changes several months ago. Could be the white balance on my camera. I'm not too good with it!

the tank looks nice it really filled out from the first pic to the latest ones.

Your white-balance looks good to me.
People complaining about yellowish waters with ADA. Just checking whether you have the same problem.

Great growth from the Rotala you have. Nice trim what. Have difficulty myself getting my plants to grow the way I want. Any tips?

I know I'm going to take some heat from the photographers here for not turning off the CO2 before taking these, and I definitely deserve it. I was able to use my brothers Canon Digital Rebel XT today (at my daughter's birthday party) and I was pretty impressed with the pictures that were coming out of it. Coincidently, MY WIFE dropped a huge, heavy glass jar on our little 5MP, so a camera purchase will likely be in order soon!

These pictures deviate from the full tank shots I normally post:

That anubias growth is.........nothing short of a miracle. It is sickening!
