65L Tank Revamp

Tank is looking great, can't wait to see it with plants in

They're great honestly. They got my spiffy new betta, Eventide, in for me when I asked. 
 
It's an interesting place to live. I live a long way from Darwin though thankfully. The wet season is horrid 

 
My light FINALLY came today so on Saturday I'm heading down to the LFS to take a look for some plants. I'd go tomorrow but the boyfriend has to fiddle with the light a bit to get it to sit right. I can't wait for plants

Yay, glad it has finally arrived! The plants will look fantastic!
 
I bet it is!

Picked up some vallis and that the other day. Not a whole lot but it looks nicer already 

 

 
I'd take a picture of the tank with the light on but the light has blue leds that make everything look fake and tacky somehow. I can't turn them off either 

 
 

 

[Blondielovesfish]

That's a pain!
 
Looks good though!

Thanks. I have a friend giving me some java moss/fern that I'm going to use in both of my 65l tanks. It will really complete it I reckon. 

 
I'm planning on redoing my other 65l tank now. I've got the rock and some mopani wood ready, just need a day off to work on it 

 It needs more hiding spots and some of my plants weren't doing too well so it's pretty bare now

I managed to find a place to buy plants without having to deal with quarantine laws! 

 
Added the crypt and java moss today. Wasn't expecting to get so much moss haha. 
 

 
 
 

Here is a pic with the flash off. You can't really tell that the vallis is taking over yet.
 

 
I ended up putting some of the extra  moss into the tetra tank. I decided to put some mopani wood in there as well and I like it a lot better.

And here's the tetra tank. I'm finding that I quite like tannins in this tank, really brings out the colours of the fish.
 

 
I'll update again if the crypt in the guppy tanks gets established

Nice micro sword

Always good when you can bypass the quarantine laws
 
Will look great once the moss grows in a bit more!
