Upgraded my filter to the Tidal 55 from the 35. I was getting surface film around my driftwood where the flow just wasn't strong enough but I didn't want to add in a powerhead. Seems to be much better now! Also removed a good chunk of my 'grass' as it wasn't really spreading. It was growing up...

Trimmed my ludwigia after taking the picture hehe. Wanted to replant some to fill in a section and it was also getting so thick it was blocking a good portion of light from the other plants around. Trimmed up my carpet too. took the powerhead out cus i dont think the rummys were enjoying the...
