Top work Col. Tank looks great. Is your BGK in this tank?Are you still searching for pellets? Mind giving us a plant list.
( to save me guessing)

Yes, the BGK is still in there, getting bigger each time I see him and yes, still after some carnivorous pellets.
Plants :- 90% are Java Fern (Microsorum pteropus ) Just added 5 x Microsorum pteropus 'Tropica'

There are a few Anubia nana, and a few swords.
I am hoping that with the new T5 lights I will be able to grow more species.

Hi , I'm really interested in the way you have set up your planted tank. I reckon it looks unreal.

Anyway congrats on an awesome aquarium, and thanks for putting up the photo's. Hope you don't mind the annoying questions.

G'day Paul,
Since the last photo I have given the tank a face-lift. The main difference is that I have added the Aponogeton hybrid (Thanks Oliver) which has improved the tank heaps. IMO.
Next time I do maintenance on it I will remove the Amazon Swords and the other "High Light" plants that are not going good.
I do not use any Co2, the lights are 4 x 28 watt 4ft T5's. which are on for 10 hours per day. As I use 100% rainwater I add Seachem Flourish each week to add nutrients.
Hope you like the new look.
