POST PICS OF YOUR PLANTS AND PLANTED TANKS HERE

Most recent pics of my 125 and 75 gal planted tanks. I maintained a journal of the evolution of both tanks at. https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/my-second-planted-cichlid-tank.712577/page-3
and https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/my-first-planted-cichlid-tank.685287/

Back in May I thinned and replanted, here six months later it's overgrown again

Are those tubes in your planted tanks breeding caves for plecos or other species?

Sorry missed this,
The tubes are for other inhabitants as this tank only has two old whiptails. But it has three doras, four pseudo pimelodus, one dwarf giraffe a ghost knife and nine clown loach so is we quite active after dark. So under the wood are a network of tubes 1” to 4” dia.

Times change, and taxes are high.
We sold the large aquariums and kept the good old 40 galllon breeder (36x18x16).

The last photo seen is the 48x24x16 (80gal.) open-top build.
Besides the humidity in the summer, we all miss that 80gal.

The 40gal is all we have time for this decade.
A great new dog from a shelter came into the picture, and that about swept the spare time in full.

The 40 breeder has a single Biomaster 600 running on it, as well as a simple powerhead hidden in the plants for the additional current.
Only Amano-like shrimp species and two large snails are in the tank.

During the move from 80 gal to 40 gal, all the Crypt species about melted from, new city water, a timer error, and my personal errors.

Everything is more compact, but should make a decent recovery.

...and YES, we all miss the 48x24x16 open top build.
It was a gorgeous build.

Sorry to hear about that!

With that being said, any pictures of the dog?

Life changes!

As for the new dog, she's a shiny sleek black pit mix with ears up, and the trim contour of a greyhound or doberman.

I try to keep her photos a bit private. She's a keeper!

It's the first time in my life I had the opportunity to point at a dog during a generational family shelter search and blurt "that one", "get that one."
