Hope you have a great day

No substrate bro! Just tank glass bottom!

Thanks for the amazing compliment.

You need additional tank to house your ever incresaing collection of Buce plants. I can see you are VERY addicted to it already.

The water is so amazing clear! I near thought there is no water until I noticed the shrimps hanging in mid air!

Amazing! I don't find water mark in the tank. The shrimps look like crawling emerge plants. Planted tank has no substrate. Nice collection of bucephalandras too.

It's a 2 feet tank bro, and it's powered by a Eheim Pro 3 2078. Big capacity, fuss free and silent, basically low maintenance haha

Haha actually not true bro, I've gone very much into pleco, then all sorts of large predatory fish, then corydoras, but aquascaping, I last did in 2006.. Got drawn into it because I was inspired by tanks like yours la
