You should be VERY proud :)

[mbezik]

@7eitgeist thanks so much for the kind comment.

its been a bit of a battle since this video was shot, ive been stabilizing my pressurised co2 system and the fluctuations caused crazy BBA. fingers crossed ive got it under control now and i can get back to the job of growing back the plants and scaping it

[jcgoobee]

beautiful tank. I particularly like those Tetras. What dozing method do you use? EI?

[punktropic]

this tank looks so sick,its like a screensaver

[blurlistener]

This is an awesome tank. Very peaceful.

[mbezik]

@blurlistener thanks, yeah im very much into more peaceful aquariums, most of the time this tank is a haven of peace but when the dwarf cichlids spawn all hell breaks loose for a few weeks.

by the way im loving that shoal of tetra you have in your tank, im always telling people about it, looks outstanding when they swim around the decor

[blurlistener]

@mbezik Thanks. I once saw the tetras circling on the tree-looking driftwood I have for about a minute. It would have been awesome to record and share that to you guys...

@samsonsfishstuff thanks! yeah i cant say enough good things about the canon powershot, almost tv quality 1080p from a compact camera

[martyb0y1981]

@Tristansfishcrazy aw kl I was given one that looks like that for free but didn't know what it was lol

[martyb0y1981]

out standing mate !!

what is the sword plant to the right ?

[mbezik]

@martyb0y1981 thanks! yeah its just a standard sword, 2 of them. they're only small but since i put them in the tank they are putting new leaves out almost daily

[BeerBellyDK]

Looks awesome, it's gonna look even better when it starts to grow out. :D

[mbezik]

@BeerBellyDK yeah man thats what im looking forward to, im definitely seeing an increase in growth since i started pumping in co2, hopefully this gets the end result quicker.

just installed my drop checker today and its showing green so it looks like slightly less than 1 bubble per second is a good rate for my tank at the minute
