Dwalstad: Yes the plants are growing great! Even newly added crypts don't melt, even when I accidently snap off their roots

and the yellow water is not too bothersome. Although crystal clear water would be nice it is not that important to me. It will happen eventually.
My goldfish and dojo loaches are happy as can be, even though they have their noses down close to the gasses much of the time. The goldfish just love eating off that 24 hour buffet. The loaches have changed color a little bit since I switched to an El Natural tank. They have a hint of rust color now, but I don't believe it is anything serious, as they still act fine and show no other signs of disease or stress. Actually, they are happier with all those plants to hide in and dig up
