I did a huge clean/rescape on my 100G planted tank today. I tore out literally everything and gave the substrate a good siphoning plus I added 2 more bags of EcoComplete to darken it up. Im also adding pressurized CO2 the end of the week.
Here is where I began...an overgrown low tech neglected mess:
Out came the plants and hardscape:
Wound up with 2 20gallon toes worth of plants.
After I finished up the substrate I added the new hardscape...thanks to TheDriftWoodStore.com and some locally collected rocks.
Then back went some of the plants. I have some vals planted along the back glass but they are still pretty small.
Probably 4 square feet of fern
Two barbels up for the fresh clean tank and the rescape?
