Looks nice! Lucky corys got a four footer to themselves.

I had 6 congo tetra which has been with me since the start of my hobby, a few neon and bosemanii rainbow.. i removed them to reduce overfeeding, which is the main cause to my algae problems

[Mez]

Simon, with some more bogwood and plants that would look really good. i like the grass-like plant in the corner!
What else apart from cory and apisto you got in there? Is there a checkerboard in there?

[Simon]

Simon, y not use a external reactor?

[Simon]

BFG: its too big and quite difficult to hide in my 4ft (becoz of the corkbark) plus I prefer the looks of a ADA diffuser

Hi Simon,

Nice mix of plants. Lots of potential to be an AGA aquascape contest entrant!

Is the stem plant in the middle Eusteralis stellata? Thinking of getting some to try. Read that it's quite demanding.

Somehow the tank looks bigger than a 4ft.

eggz, thats the ludiwigia sp. aka Tai yang chow 'red var.', if u want E. stellata, Teo has them in emersed form.. Its not really demanding, under
low light, E. stellata will stay green, but with strong light, the leaves
turning purple

Simon,

Why would you want to hide an external reactor in your tank?

*run for cover*

[PeterGwee]

LOL....the key word is "External" Simon....you miss the word I think. []

[Simon]

hahahhaaa... my mistake, me bad [], guess I didnt thght of it while I setup the tank.. but I oredi have a ADA diffuser, a bioplus reactor.. oredi burn a small hole in my pocket

[loupgarou]

simon, how much your corkbark costs? how you scrap green spot algae off it

[Simon]

chris, becoz its one big piece, I paid ard $200+ for the whole thing.. as so scrubbing the corkbark, simply use those floor scrub.. difficult since the surface is uneven

[sherchoo]

With cories in your tank I don't think your Glossos got a chance esp with cories that size.

BTW, the corkbark looks so much cleaner than b4... where is the fern that was growing.. looked really natural.
