thanks. No he doesn't even touch them. he is however becoming a pain in the but for my aro. Chases him every once in a while. I think the key to my growth with him is for some reason I have a huge amount of diatom brown algea. He does an excellent job cleaning this and I think his growth shows it.
Check this out for some of the best Planted tanks I have ever seen. They are Crazy Awesome Tanks!!!

Most of the tanks in that link are done by aquatic design amano, or ADA, employees, but not amano. The mastermind behindthe company, Takashi amano is the man you are looking for.nbku3vm;622230;622230 said:
dodgefreak8 i love the smart and simplicity of it! Always been a fan of black backgrounds and substrates. And your black arowana is equally as lovely!
evercl92 the lush of that tank is fantastic, real nice and heavily planted. Is it a lot of upkeep?
And those tanks are amazing nbku3vm, almost pretend/painting like! They should frame it and call it fine art!

It's actually very little upkeep. I may spend 2-3hrs a week on it. I do testing for pH, KH, NO3, phosphate and iron 2x/week. I do a 50% water change about every 6-8 weeks, depending on nutrient uptake and plant growth. CO2 (controlled by solenoid) is on a timer that comes on with 1/3 of my lights, and the other 2/3 of the lights come on about 40 mins later. Nerite snails do a decent job of cleaning debris, though I'd like to get more ramshorns but the yoyo loaches need relocated first. For the size of the tank and as many plants as I have, I have a very light bioload - trying to keep plants as the focus.
