Re: Show us your planted tanks!!
First try at using Photobucket, so not sure what is about to show up, a photo or just a link...This is the 29 that I grabbed at the Petco sale and set up on my refurbished 'antique' iron stand. I've done some planting and it's just waiting to be a home to a group of fancy guppies.

Re: Show us your planted tanks!!
This is my 40-ish gallon Jebo that I redid after the HAS auction in July, with Flourite and about half plants that I got at the sale. There's some water sprite that has taken me by surprise, as you can maybe guess, LOL, some vals, a bronze crypt, a red mellon? sword and it's tiny offspring, that clung to life thruout the tank's previous life with Leleupis. Along the back, I put the Crypt Balansae that I got at the sale. Hopefully it will grow only to the height needed. Also some cool frondy fern that I forget the name of and some Rot.Indicus, also both from the sale. Pardon my spelling..those plant names don't come easy to me ! Inhabitants include swarm of Cherry shrimp, a lone Kuhli loach, 6 rasboras, a few Otos and one extremely elusive blue wood shrimp. Oh, and hordes of snails. The light is a 30" Coralife 2x55 PC. I've purchased a CO2 rig, but havn't installed it yet.

Re: Show us your planted tanks!!
There's a little arched space under this driftwood where lives that Blue Wood shrimp that I accidentally bid on and won at the HAS auction. I had waited till I was pretty sure this tank was going well before I took him out of his rather bare temporary home and put him in here. He promptly disappeared and I've been wondering for 3 weeks if he'd died without a trace. After even feeling around in there the other day, I decided he must be gone. Then a couple of nights ago, I sat down eye level with the tank's floor and saw a fanning motion going on under the driftwood. I'm glad he's happy there, even if I can't really see him. :?MY MANTRA: Yes, I CAN have too many fishtanks!Comment

Re: Show us your planted tanks!!
I have a Banana Loach that is in one of my tanks that disappears for weeks at a time and then next thing you know....there he is. Usually a little bigger around and maybe a bit longer. Guess he comes out at night and eats leftover food or something.Comment

Re: Show us your planted tanks!!
you need to be prepared to remove the water sprite and replace it with one or two of the clones that spring off of the leaves. They grow so fast that they will take over the whole tank and shed little clones to clog your filters.'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'Comment

Re: Show us your planted tanks!!
Clones? Like Replicators?? Ah ! No one told me about those ! (but then I didn't ask, either) Well, obviously, when I planted watersprite in the foreground, I didn't relize it could do 8 inches a month on a plant tab. I pruned it some today so I could see my crypts again. Thanks for the warning.MY MANTRA: Yes, I CAN have too many fishtanks!Comment

Re: Show us your planted tanks!!
My 68g after 6 weeks - the amazon sword is really taking off
Can anyone explain why when I look at the tank I can hardly see the green algie on the glass
but when I take a picture the algie shows up as a big green smur over the whole tank ? (no flash used)'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'

Re: Show us your planted tanks!!
Have four 2.5" plecos in the tank now but they spend as much time cleaning the plants as they do the glass.
(and one striped loach that would eat the snails)
Actuall, the tank is full of tiney MTS but they only climb the glass when it's dark'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
