Just for a quick update, here is what has been done and where I am at now. I have been upping the water changes to 2 times a week, cutting back light, food, and manual removal of the bacteria. This has slowed the growth, but it is still a constant re-occurrence growing on everything. So at...

Ugh, was hoping I would get lucky. Guess it is time for multiple and more frequent water changes, coupled with mechanical clean up. From what I read, a lights out is an effective way, but I am curious as to what it will do for my live plants. Perhaps I'll try to cut back my lighting to just a...

Yeah, probably too much light as I increased my light cycle in an attempt to boost my plant growth.

There is pretty good current in my tank. I have a pump that pulls down and tows across the bottom.

Forgot the pics

So I have a new tank I am setting up. Cycled for about 1 week with no fish and a few plants. Had a small battle with Brown diatoms, but finally some green algae appeared and it cleared up on it's own. Over the past month or so, I've added 6 Neons, 3 clown coaches, 2 Cory's, 2 Panda cats, 3...

Welcome, pull up a seat and enjoy the show.

Yeah, the commercialism has ruined the holidays. My family always practiced the rule of "You should never pull out the lights until you have put the Turkey away."

Awesome, too bad for my Windows phone, but my wife's Android is ripe for the pickin.

I was hoping for a post like this, Here are my babies.

Yes, I knew the tank size I needed and wanted when I picked the fish. Sadly, just like my puppies, they grew faster than I expected and before I was ready to upgrade. Life and responsibilities get in the way of my hobbies sometimes. I was hoping to go the route of 100g for moving my...

I do plan to upgrade, just not sure when the Wife will give me buy-off on that idea though. I keep looking for deals that might assist in her giving me the go ahead, just never get to the ones I find soon enough. I do plan to add some beginner plants soon and see how they take. I hear Javas...

Well here are a few pictures of some of my family. Here is Opy the Opal Guarami. He's a little bigger than a silver dollar and almost the shyest of all brood. Here is Ribbon(my wife named her that because she looks like a ribbon in the wind when she swims), my Black Knife Ghost. Little over...

Hooray, bring on the rain. Next comes the October rust, can't wait for all the trees to come into full color.
