I've been posting a lot of threads of my planted tanks lately, so I might as well show this one. It's 2.5 gallons and was originally meant to be a fry tank for my Ram's, but once the female died I decided to convert it into a planted tank for my Betta which I later sold. It is now home to 2 Sparkling Gourami's, 1 Amano Shrimp, 1 Oto, and 10 Adult Ruby Red Ramshorns (and a ton of babies). When I first set up the tank it was basically an uncontrollable algae farm, so I created another DIY CO2 system to starve the algae and supplement the plants and now there's almost no algae left. I do water changes twice a week and do not add any ferts besides liquid calcium for the snails (I also feed the spinach leaves to keep their shell healthy). The only plants I have are Java moss, Flame moss, Christmas Moss, and E. Tenellus. Here are some pictures, Enjoy!::

Here's what's happened since the last update
- The Christmas Moss is growing well and starting to look nice
- I got rid of the Gourami's and replaced them with 10 Snowball Shrimp... they are doing great.
- I split up one of the E. Tenellus bunches and it's growing very quickly and shooting off a bunch of runners once again
So that's basically it, I'll put pictures up once attachments are available again...
