Thanks.

This tank is staying as it is now. Nice and easy to take care of.

Another little update.

I've taken the lobelia cardinalis plant out. It just didn't go with the rest of the layout. Zarra kindly adopted it, and I replaced it with another pot of micro sword. I've planted this bit in thicker bunches to see if it grows different.

Taking the lobelia out means the whole tank is planted with tropica plants so I've bought a bottle of their fertilizer to try.

Looks great Andy, I enjoyed your video Stan can shift when he wants to and your Sterbai are very active, mine are fat and lazy, also your plants are looking good I will be trying some fertiliser soon to see if it makes any difference to mine, bet you are looking forward to getting water in the big tank will you be planting that one aswell?
