Thanks for your kind words. Just pray for the HM so it won't melt out in heat.
@Roopak.... as of now keeping the room fan on for 24x7. Also in evening dropping ice cubes in the HOB to keep the temp 28 degree. But I am looking for a DC fan which can be installed on the top pf the tank. |

My planted tank reaches temperature at 32 degrees. My HC had almost melted. I added ice bottle 4 times in a day to keep the temperature around 28-29 degrees. Now I can see HC developing new leaves. 
Nick tank. I am sure once the summer is gone and when you plant HC again this cube will be stunning.  |

Tirtha,
I have a suggestion. Why not remove the Tetras and keep the Darios alone? The little beauts deserve their own tank IMO. You could probably add two more?
Looking great!  |

Great work tirtha.
Would have loved to see the pics of the tank with HC.
Do you plan to keep the tank going till monsoons? or you plan to start with a new scape? |

Thanks for your kind words friends.
@Sai: I tried to click the pictures of the Darios. But most of the time they are hiding. Will try again and try to post.
@Karthik: No more Natives right now. Cause in this temparature, I failed to make the Microworm culture and Darios are bit finiky abt live food. I had 6 of them, lost 2. Now I found they started to nibling on Tetra bits a bit.So first I have to up and run the microwom culture before housing the natives.
@Kunal: get the darios from Bombay. The contact information is not handy right now. Will let you know.
@Rohan: If I can manage to save the tank for this summer, then will go with this scape only. But instead of HC I was planning to introduce M. Minuta in the tank.And Buddy.... in Gurgaon, there is nothing called monsoon  You will get 3-4 days rain, thatz it. |
