Revamped the 110 to an African Tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
A recent pic. Getting some new growth from my Amazons and Jungle Val. Even this new plant that I have no idea what it is. I put 3 Java Ferns onto a piece of wood with rubberbands but one didn't fair all that well. The other two have since started churning out some bright green leaves. I added a 3rd (not in this pic, took it the day before I found the plant and put it in the tank). Still not sure about the Crypt Wendtii. Also a little Annubias Nana that I put in didn't do well at first. I have it trimmed back to just two large leaves. It seems to be just holding its own. Not growing. Not dying.

Also, last night I did water changes and moved the Jungle Vals to the back of the tank now that I know they will grow...

Here's the sunshine. A little blurry but you get the idea. I know I don't need anymore yellow in the tank but he was pretty impressive:

Bad news. My little Sunshine, oh my Sunshine, don't make me happy, cuz he be dead. Popeye. Hadn't seen him for a day or two then he came out and it was too late. Gone the next day....

Not planning on adding too much more in terms of plants. I may add some more Jungle Vals to the back of the tank for a 3D background.

I would like to add more rocks to get the rock work higher in the tank.

I'm kinda torn though with the plants in that I have a GIGANTIC Amazon sword in my 55 (18 inches tall and about 20 inches wide) that has gotten too big for the tank. I would like to put it in the 110 but I can't think of where. Maybe take one of the big ones out of the 110 and replace it with this monster and put the smaller one back in the 55...
