Bucket of Anubias pulled out of tank for trim. I guess brace is about a foot wide and two feet deep for an idea on size.

Couple of tank photos below. Cleared up more today although filter intakes need a clean. Bought some driftwood (and sold some driftwood at swap mart as you do) so planning to add that on weekend and just let it all hopefully settle in. Feels a bit weird looking at gravel

If so are they a little more hardy than the neons?

The Hygrophila pinnatifida has been cleaned out except for the bit I rescued and put in another tank. That piece is getting some new growth albeit slowly as low light.
The ambulia is also slowly getting cleaned out. The swords, crypts, anubias, ferns are all fine.
Thinking it’s either the two mystery snails added recently or just so few plants in there now after rescape. Or they are just ganging up
Also have been looking at getting a wifi water leak detector. Just in case tank ever cracked or left a tap on.
Looks good are they cardinal tetras?

I think cardinal tetras are meant to be more hardy but I confess I never do really well with tetras. A pair of kribs and a young catfish in there was well.

In other news the CO2 bottle did usual trick of finishing on a Monday so hope to replace bottle on weekend coming.

Have been unable to replace the CO2 bottle so have hooked up the small one which generally lasts several months. The tunz diffuser I removed the impeller cover off is going well - in fact a little too well and bubbles are getting blown out the bottom before getting chopped up sigh. Will see how it goes and maybe put cover back on (soon as I find it).
Water leak detectors connected to wifi. Cheap ones - they work but I need to ask someone to set them off and see if I get a message outside house at shops or something. Placed one near tank and one in kitchen.

Sometimes just putting in a few fancy goldfish and swapping to cold water tank is tempting...

Replanted the val and repositioned the diffuser to be more vertical. All working! Then I noticed one of the leaves from the val was over diffuser intake but somehow it all works great. Soooo crossed fingers and tip-toed away.

Picked up to bin and surprised to find still alive after 2 metre fall. Into tank and disappeared into plants so seemed ok. Fingers crossed.

Swapped out the tunze CO2 diffuser with the spare one. Hoping this one doesn’t play up as much.
Also found out my torch is water-proof to at least a depth of two and a half feet

Put a twist tie on the old one to keep plastic tube and powerhead from popping apart. That night it developed a death rattle so had to pull it apart. Another 20 minutes gone fiddling around with it and getting lights off/on.
Thinking of throwing the old quad t5ho out and ramping up the LED. Would be much easier to just take the led light off/on.
