Before and After Planted Tank

Here are the before and after shots of my first planted tank.... Finally got it to how I want it... its already startin to grow.... and notice the fake plants in pic number 1... heh... Not a single fake or non-aquatic plant in pic number 2! Also, the lights! Nice and bright for happy, healthy plants!

Cool, remember that will drop your ph especially at night when plants are not absorbing the Co2...
Gonna be sweet when that takes off.. How many tanks you got now?

actually that is exactly what I needed to happen for the discus.... they like 6.5 for breeding ..... I actually only got 4 tanks in the house... taking more down than puttin any up. lol.... It looks like I am gaining tanks, but when a new one goes up.... a couple older ones go into the garage.... I will have a lil' mini hatchery goin up one day!! thats the plan in the long run, but got some time until any of my fish are ready to breed.

Nice! When it fills in a little its going to be sick!

Here is another after shot.... gettin a nice alge growin in there..... and I already had to prune the ludwiga a couple times.

Nice, extra bog looks good.

Very nice! Looking forward to more pics when all the plants have filled in the tank.

Nice job. I have a brown thumb when it comes to aquatic plants. Even my fake plants turn brown and fall apart - seriously!

woah! I didnt know how much growth until you compare before and afters every once in awhile!

That's so awesome. It's only been like 2 months too. I'm so excited to start mine!!

nice circulation setup.

Actually... i had that long spray bar in there to slow circulation... my discus like still water... In my latest picture that i just posted you can see I took it back down a little bit and added a smaller HOB... I still gonna do something different with it... some sponges... just waitin for them to come from china... lol

very nice!

Looks great......its growing in nicely !

wow tht is gorgeous!!

I like your tank man good looking, healthy and filling out nicely.
