cockroach cockroach Wow, your responses are always so detailed like your setups and much appreciated. I completely understand I don't have many people I can talk fish with either, so I enjoy interacting here. I had stepped away from the site for a long time because of personal issues. Only coming in to moderate from time to time or ghost the site but I'm trying to get back into posting. I always kept the hobby going though it did suffer as well.

I like planning as well; not sure what inspired it. Usually, as of late it takes the form of trying to design DIY filters but never plumbing an entire fish room as basically a single system. Again, your setup is impressive. I've got to do some construction on my basement and afterwards I'll be able to create a dedicated fish room/office? Nah, who am I kidding it's going to be a fish room/man cave. I wanted to incorporate plants, specifically terrestrial plants like Pothos as well as a custom Hamburg Matten. I had considered aquatic floating plants but as I said I was worried about them overrunning the tank. Which is why I was curious about your experience with the frogbit as well as your lighting setup. It serves as great inspiration.

I hope to see more posts. Any plans to make any changes to your setup?

heh, I have fun with it.

I see the breeder mop. Babies?
I have had in the past. But this mixed group and danios/rasboras has not bred.
They were in a 20 gal with 5 different types of spawning sites. and and nothing.
Moved them inot the hillstream rack and they are fat, and I am assuming, egg bound, but do not seem to be spawning. No eggs, or fry from mops which I remove and put in the refugium area. No fry in the tanks. Nada.
So not sure what I am doing wrong.
The initial community breeding tank. Thought the rock and plants would offer cover. No fry.

Changed it to this with an array of spawning sites. And nary a fry.
