    Redo looks great. Did you get the wood from aquariumplants to?

    That I will. A little bit of an update. The water clouded up because of yanking the old plants out and adding new in. It is bacterial as much as particulate. I got the particulates out but the bacteria is slowly coming out. It is improving daily. Should see some nice growth on a few of the plants with the next pic of the tank.

    Your tank looks great. I haven't made it through your other journal yet, but was wondering which one you think requires the most maintenance.

    Thanks, the reef by a small amount, mainly due to more equipment. Once I get the controller set up on the reef it will be about even.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    They sure look pretty. Love looking at the pictures of it. It takes a lot of skill and patience to scape those kind of tanks.

    Thanks, I think it is no more difficult than a reef. You get to put the scape together all at once if you have your plants all there.
