My tank has had a major change and overhaul!

I have taken all my plants out apart from the riccia and ludwigia and have planted them into my 4foot!

In my 4 foot unplanted tank (will be soon) i was gettin alot of brown algae and i figured this was because there wer no plants to take in the nitrates!

Soo i got some jars and pots anf filled them with gravel and sand and a few root tabs and put all my Hygo Speices in there

Should help get rid of the brown algae and fish sound like it as it is a bit more natural!

Fish look happier already!

But as for my now pretty much bare 2foot tank i am think of taking out all the substrate and doing the same for it (The planted jar thing)

And try and breed my cories in there!

I dont no like this jar look but but ... Im a lil fed up with all the mess in my lil 2 footer due to filter being kinda crap and clogging up all the time!

Thanks alot !

Shall post pics soon!

Richie!

Understand now haha!

Will stay like this until i get my pressurised c02 for ma birthday and ma 2foot will stay similar to that until i get a better filter and a proper nutrafin diy co2 kit fed up of stpid pop bottles!
