Your lobelia is absolutely beautiful. What is the red plant, back right near the top? WONDERFUL TANK!

Your rotala wallichii is great! That is such a pretty plant. I was watching my own tank yesterday. I have 2 large SAE's in there. One was just munching away on my rotala wallichii. They love to eat that plant. I'm gonna have to catch those guys and get them out of there. Their algae eating days have long since past. They are just taking up space now. I'm sure it will look much better without being eaten all the time. What they haven't touched is gorgeous like yours!

i love the wallichiii becuase of its red color IME its not low nitrates that bring out the reds but very high light (and TE solution with nitroglycerin also brings out reds) the wallichii in that tank is directly under a 150 watt HQI bulb so it was able to get blood red

yup SAE's are notorious for doing that and they lose most of their algae eating capabilies once they mature i guess they just get lazy LOL

Im sad to say that this tank is no more I had to tear it down two days ago because of my move to boston I nominated myself for tank of the month, (its my last chance for a long while :/) so if anyone wants to vote for my tank or nominate it id sure appreciate it just talk to the moderators thanks for all the kind words everyone

Sorry to hear you had to tear it down, it was beautiful! How long before you're settled into Beantown so we can see the start of a new work of art?
