I am using the Eheim needle wheel pump that is typically used for skimmers so I don't need the diffuser anymore. The plants are extras when I rescaped. The Lobelia cardinalis, Rotala Macrandra and dwarf sag are left overs. The ram is the odd man out. I have my pair so he is an extra fish with no mate. He is healthy, eats well and could use a new home.
