Almost forgot Since this is a journal, I wanted to post the only problem I've had so far with the tank.
My anubias have been rotting away. The rhizomes are rotting and the leaves (which look fine) have been floating to the top. My theory is that I disturbed the roots too much while putting them in the tank. They came potted and I removed much of the soil around their roots. I was surprised because the anubias have been some of the easiest plants to keep. The rhizomes are not buried in my substrate. I did know better than to do that.
Otherwise the tank has been smooth sailing. I've barely had any algae.
Comments are welcome. If you have different theories regarding my anubias problem, I'd like to hear them.
Thanks for looking,
