Made some updates. As everyone here suggested, removed the swords and re arranged the crypts. Still have the anubias though. Added a dwarf lilly and some fast growing anarchis.
Had some diatoms growing on the glass and anubias. Added three ottos and they cleaned up in 48 hours.
I now have a nice cleaning/algae removing crew of 3 ottos and 7 amano shrimps now :)
New pics added on flickr (link on first page). Check those out and share comments. Thanks!! |

Yep.. Let us see how it goes!! I check water parameters twice a week and do 50% wcs with RO water as required. So far so good..
I have my low-light barebottom 20 gallon high currently being cycled. Anubias, java fern, java moss and x'mas moss. Will share the snaps once the moss gets established..
The angels are babies now... Will move out in a month.
Appreciate it. Thanks for your feedback!! |

Hi!
Nice tank. What substrate are you using and is it a 55 watt PLL?
Regards
