I made another new scape for the 50-gallon setup. You can see that I replaced that largest rock on the right and a couple of others.
Ripariums for Plant Filtration

I have a quick photo update from last night for the 120 riparium with Mexican livebearers.
I replanted the whole thing and it is still growing in. It will be a little while before it gets to be nice and full again.
I also changed the fish stocking. I replaced the Xenoataenia resolane with another goodeid, Ilyodon furcidens. The I. furcidens are a better aquarium fish. They are nice and robust and never stocp swimming. I'll try to get a fish close up or two the next time that I am over there so you can see.

I made some more headway on the brackish riparium setup that I am putting together for mangrove trees and a few yet to be determined fish. It is going into a 30 breeder in the corner down in the basement shop.
Those pieces of driftwood are some nice manzanita stumps that I am soaking while I pull everything else together. I need to go get some aragaonite sand for the bottom of the tank.
I will have more pictures and details about this project over in my journal thread...

I am writing a series of blog articles with more detail about my mangrove riparium for the AquaBotanic.com blog. I am going to have some pretty cool plants and fish in this setup.

Hey I have here what looks like a fun new plant to use as background for my 50G tank. I will try to pot some up in riparium planters soon and post more pictures with details.

That tank is still going, although I redid the planting not long ago and it looks sort of thin as the plants grow in again.
Last night I finally got back to work on the riparium project in my 56 column tank.
This is going to be a high-humidity setup with crypts, Anubias and a few other plants. I think that I have good ideas for fish stocking for this one too.

Yeah this tank has a nice shape. It is like a 65 tall but seems to have more visual depth because it is not quite as wide.
I am working on getting some pretty cool West Africa fish for this one.
