Cleaning day and some changes

[andynater]

So yesterday cleaned the 75 gal and 30 bowfront and changed things around a bit and cleaned up plants that were growing like crazy.

Heres some before and afters of each.

30 gal bowfront














75 gal











Not sure what I think about the layout on my 75 for the cichlids yet but gonna give it a little time and see if it grows on me. I wanted some rocks and stuff but maybe layed out different or a different kind I dunno lol.

Gonna have to find a way to get brighter pictures too with my black backgrounds as well.

Looking nice and clean Andy! What's the tall plant in your bowfront?

[guppyguy]

Everything looks great Andy. The plants are really doing well. And Roland the tall plant in his tank is hornwort.

[Rainbowfish Alan]

Thanks guppy. Hornwort normally looks so horrible. Andy obviously has a healthy plant here.

[guppyguy]

Yes it does and he bought it from me.

Its really taken off the before pictures you can see how big it grew. I have a second bundle i made up sitting in the tank still next to the one right in the corner. its smaller and going to put it in the shrimp tank

Yea it is. If you can see in the before pictures it was all drift wood. Never had any problems with is just should be more rock for cichlids. Just find the look of driftwood awesome and the fish always enjoyed it all the little hiding spots and areas you can make with it.

The rock id like to get is hard to find around here so we'll see how long it stays like this for.

Its good that it works for u im just surprise that it didnt lower the water ph.

[andynater]

always seemed fine.
