It's time for you El Naturals to say what size you have. Pics would be nice.
I have a 28 Euro bow front.

I only have two 10 gallon tanks. My betta's tank is a year old and my guppy tank is 1 1/2 years old.

Mandy,

What plants are you growing in the betta tank?

I think I already told you but my memory is crap as you well know.

I have a Crypt in the back but what's mainly in there is Ambulia(Limnophila sessiliflora). I do have quite a few stems of Bacopa monnieri and very few Cabomba. I also recently added a clipping of Hornwort.

Here is my newly set up 5.5 gallon (still dealing with cloudy water). It was set up on 23 Jan 10.

I've got a 125 in the living room, then the half-filled 10 gallon betta tank in one of the kids' room, and a 3 gallon pico at my office. My 20 gallon is also El Natural, but it only has about 1 or 2 gallons of water in it. Pics are at the links below in the signature line except the betta tank. It's somewhere in the journals forum (along with the rest) titled something like "Abby's 10 gallon betta 'bowl'" or something similar.

I had some bad staghorn in the 125 recently and ended up, on bad advice, cutting every plant to within an inch of the surface. That was a very big mistake. Now I am dealing once again with green water, but the plants have begun to rebound nicely, the water is slowly clearing back up, and I have very little algae, though I have to admit that I added a little Excel to help the battle. Anyway, I seem to learn by making mistakes, and it seems I'm not quite done learning yet.

The others are doing very well.
