    Well I went to Home Depot today to try and find some sort of valve to replace my needle valve. To my surprise, it was a success. With a little bit of Alabama engineering, I now have CO2. I just need to get a real diffuser and I will be set.

    Right Side-The Ambulia and Anacharis behind the rock that is now sticking up was hidden below the rock when I planted it only a week and a half ago. Already grown a couple of inches! The hairgrass is also starting to spread.

    Good job. You could also get java moss to make the tank look more natural. It grows really fast too.

    You have a beautiful tank. I've never tried to keep live plants, but maybe I'll try in my daughter's tank someday.

    Thanks!

    I'll look into the moss!

    You should try it. If you can handle your saltwater, you won't have a problem with the plants.

    Thanks man. Yeah I was pretty impressed with how yesterday went. Defense needs work, but other than that wasn't too bad. Y'all looked good too. imagine that. haha The iron bowl may actually be a good game this year!

    Fed the tank today..I guess one of the Killifish was REALLY hungry. Inhaled one of my neons!

    He realized he bit off more than he could chew though and spit it out after a few minutes. The neon is fine!
