LuminousAphid's 10 Gallon Leaky Greenhouse Tank

Hello guys,

I thought I would share some pics I just went out and took at the only time I can get good shots of this tank, after dark. I have this tank out in my greenhouse since it has a leak after the last time I moved it, and since then it seems to be doing pretty well. This was actually my first real fish tank, aside from the tiny acrylic bookshelf sized ones from my childhood. I got this about 3 years ago I think, and had just gravel and fake plants in it for a long time. I started planting it up about 3 months ago, maybe a little less, and I re-did it about a month ago now with black sand and pretty much all new plants.

I have fancy Guppies, Red Cherry Shrimp, one last Ghost Shrimp, a Clown Pleco, a Longfin Albino Bristlenose Pleco, a few hitchhiking snails, and quite a few plants now. My favorite is probably the java moss attached to the wood; I used fishing line twisted around the wood to keep the moss on the wood initially, but now it's just attached on its own. The Val is doing well recently, and is starting to spread fast. I also keep a Water Hyacinth in here, because I have been feeding too much to the pregnant Guppies and I figure it can take up some of the waste from the water.

This is the first time I have taken pics of this tank since I re-did it, and I think they turned out pretty good!

RCS on Marimo, they are not very red because it's nighttime

Any feedback is appreciated, I will update this next time I get a chance to take pictures.

Very nice setup.

That looks nice.  

Show me the catfish!

I can never get a good look at them, the clown pleco nearly always hides under the wood, and the albino is still getting used to things and is a bit shy

Thanks for the compliments guys!
