enjoy and please comments and feed back welcome:)

also i recently picked up two 12" rimless cube tanks (around 7.75 gal) and I transferred the 5 gallon tank into one of them. i also redid a few things in the 55 gal and i think it looks a lot better. trying to grow a carpet of dwarf baby tears. neither tanks have co2.
 
Hello :)

I'll be honest...

I love your plant selections, quality and quantity look fantastic. You have a good "style" going and once the plants grow out, it will look amazing!

But...

It looks like you're in drastic need of a water change in both tanks. Get that water cleared up and you'll have a couple of winners!

Good luck man!
 
Thanks man I appreciate it.

I actually did a water change on the 55 shortl after taking the picture. Then a week later I moved a few things around so I'll have to take some pictures here shortly. As for my water quality my params are all good. The tank has been up for 10 yrs. I recently replanted it as a large lilly was sucking up all the nutrients and starving the rest of my plans.

For the 5 I moved evrything form it into the 7.75 cube. Damn hard to pick out all the shrimp in the move. The endlier guppies too. Water is good there as well I do a gallon water change every 3 days.

I'm thinkin bout adding co2 to both tanks shortly when money permits.

Thanks again
