New pics!

The plants were seriously overgrown, so I trimmed today. I should have take a pic before the trim.....everything was touching the surface! But, I didn't.

Here is the after pic:




The Rummies are hiding alot for some reason. My boyfriend says that if he was a fish and he had that many plants to hide behind, he'd make use of them too. Maybe once I add more they'll come out more.

I plan on moving my dwarf Cories to the tank tomorrow. I have a ton of green fuzz algae all over the HC and on some of the stems, so I was waiting to get rid of that before adding the Cories, but I think its going to take a while on the algae. I've been squirting Flourish Excel over it, so hopefully that will work. I also have some staghorn algae, which I think it because of my inconsistent dosing. Hopefully I can get on a schedule and tackle this algae.

I'm sure you're all saying, of course you have algae with 192w of light, but honestly, most days the second 96w bulb doesn't come on. I don't have a timer for it yet, so I have to manually turn it on and off for the light burst and most days I'm not home to do it. Soon though, I'll buy a timer.

Updates to come!
