I can redirect the current, but then it wreaks havoc on the rest of the water column. That whole aspect is kinda turning into a catch 22.
Decisions, Decisions. Polys in a planted tank

On another note. The plants are here and they've been planted! Now we wait... (and hope that the repens spreads like its supposed to)
Alright well that turnes out pretty sweet!
So... I ordered more plants... next haul coming in will include:
Anubias barteri
Ambulia
hygrophila pinnatifida
Rotala Indica
Rotala Wallichii

Also upgrading to a more high tech system, I have a 5lb CO2 tank and a regulator coming in later this week.
Growth update! The first of my stock has been added! I decided on some tiger barbs as my mid-level fish. I've never actually owned any and I absolutely love the way they look. I'm going to be adding a few at a time until I reach somewhere between 12 and 18. And after that, I'll probably add 6 ropes once I'm satisfied with how my plants have grown in and that will be it!
I also need suggestions on what y'all might add to address algae in my tank! I've got a wicked hair algae problem on the wood. The look doesn't bother me a whole lot because I think it adds to the aesthetic I'm going for, I just don't want it to get out of hand and take over the tank.
I heard barbs can nip and eat plants, they also like to nip fin.
I've read that too, but I've also heard that they only do it when in small groups. If it becomes a problem, they'll be replaced with something more docile! I hadn't actually read anything about them eating plants, but I'll be sure to keep an eye on them for any issues!
Wont you just do roseline shark or rummy nose tetras?
