This is by far the best tank i have ever seen please tell me how do you keep the back wall of the tank so clean, i always struggle with this

[japesss]

I use a stainless steel scraper, designed for cleaning saltwater algae but works fantastically in fresh water as well, particularly for Black Beard Algae.

nice tank but u need more plants.the fish would love it

[japesss]

The majority of these fish, particularly the Eartheaters, are accustomed to very little vegetation in their natural environment.

The Valisneria is only there to cover the surface (which it does more effectively now) to dim the lights.

Are those led lights?

[varanidguy]

I've been reading that sand in a freshwater tank can be extremely detrimental, as it holds and harbors toxins and unfriendly bacteria. Have you found this to be true/a problem?

[xXxT0MBstonexXx]

I've been trying to find a tree stump like that for about 3 months now and still no luck. where did you get yours?

[hardyboi2k10]

thebest piece of the tank is the wood guessing that was a lot of money.

[CCichlids]

very good looking tank! I just have a question about the plants, what were the 2 in the very back left (kinda tall), and the one that was right by the driftwood it was kind of small and light green on the left? Thanks.
