Well, I've had this tank waiting on me to set it up for some time. It took me about 2 months to get all of the equipment. It's kinda spars ATM because I'm just using extra plants from other tanks, not much hc bc it's just some I had growing in a window in an unfertilized jar with sand capped mud as the substrate :hihi: Before pictures, the boring part, the specs:

Some updates:



Courtesy of haagenize, In case you didn't know, I am also clwatkins10 over at ptf.


Yesterday I put in some more bolbitis, and moved a couple of plants.
I think it looks better, but still needs something

I also adjusted the 2nd branch of "the four" because the scape seemed too forced. I'll try to get pics up later today.

Here are those new pics. Looking back on the scape, it looks better IMO. The wrist strap on my camera always shows up in the reflection :icon_roll

The bolbitis has grown. I have not added any here
5-08 This is after a lot of growth:

This is today:

I like this angle

Here's an old pic that shows the detrius problem

Foofoo, your tank is looking great and the Bolbitus looks really good. I'm soon going to be doing my very first nano and I might borrow some of your ideas to help get me accustomed to smaller layouts. (Don't worry, I promise I won't publish any of it. ;) )

Great work!
