well, i had some really nice anubias, 4 on bits of driftwood. They all had to be thrown out yesterday due to BBA, i stripped the leaves and it was just covered. I nipped to my LFS and found a great bit of mopani wood. Removed the old bit, it was also covered in BBA. I stripped the tank down, did a 80% water change, added some more sand, boiled my Mopani for 6 hours. Its gone a bit back to basics, but i quite like it. Just thought i'd share my pics. Would you add more plants or leave it minimalistic?

If your running the tank the same way as last time (same lighting etc) you will more than likely get BBA again, improving flow and cutting the lighting will prevent it.
 
yeah i've put the top flow on the filter and the light will be on alot less, saying that it was only on 10 hrs max before.
 
sorry for being real dumb but...what is bba? and personaly i think more plants in the corners :good: but other then that it looks pretty good :hyper:
 
cheers for the comments, Razer, BBA is black brush algae, looks discusting.
Joe, the stocking and size is in my Sig.
May nip and get a couple more plants tomorrow.
