thanks everyone,

to answer a few questions Rowaphos is phosphate remover (granules you pour into a filter "sock" thingy and chuck it on top of your existing filter) it absorbes huge quantities of phosphate hence, no algae.. it's not cheap but well worth it.

as to the plant in the front it's Riccia, a japanese floating plant. you have to weave it through a mesh and weigh it down to make a lawn. really nice stuff but needs loads of light and CO2.

close up

as to care about 2 hours on each tank at the weekend (shouldn't take that long but i dont exactly rush) and end up with an arm in the tank fiddling with something or other every night.

thanks, il give it a go the aquaclear and greenaway hasent worked that well for me

I'm impressed Jimbooo. I like the layout in your 60 litre. Is that Helsine (Micranthenum micranthoides) in the left foreground? What lighting/CO2 have you got in there?

How about a full-frontal of your 180?

might be?? ) not sure really heres a close up if that helps

lighting: 1x15W freshwater & 1x15W original tropical

CO2: 1X Nutrafin kit

180 is looking a bit sorry for itself at the moment (after major pruning!!) and i cant get a good front shot as it's behind the bannisters of the stairs. runs straight asross the tank. i'll get a side/front pic in a week or so

Very nice tanks!

How about some carpeting plants right at the front of the 180?

Nitro: great minds think alike. i am growing out some more riccia for the 180. it's floating in a tub at the moment trying to get it to spread a bit before i start the lawn.

i'll post pics when i've done it.
