After 2 years Tank finally balanced?

[Be28ans]

I had my 10 gallon waterbox planted aquarium for 2 years ( just put fish in it about 2 months ago. 3 cherry barbs, 4 neon tetra, 1 otto catfish) ive been through numerous of plants, all types of algae. Had frustrated times when i almost called it quits. But i think i finally have my tank balaced where light level is just right, algae is eaten by snail and otto cat. I kno you supposed to have at least afew otto cats in aquarium. The 1 i have has been doing very well and he cleans tank very well. Right now im just cutting my fast growing plants and replanting

2 years without fish, I couldn't do that.

Yah... I was hurting without fish for a few months. I was patient but 2 years? Yikes

It'll never be balanced - it'll just have balanced periods. The true balanced aquarium is like the Holy Grail - it's the quest that matters. That's what's fun.
