WOW! they are all beautiful Doris,everything is so healthy and fresh looking, the angel fish are lovely ( you you have a breeding pair that your aware of? ),and your plants all look so lush ( unlike mine :( ) tho in pic 4 and 5 you have a green and white plant with sword type leaves, this isnt and aqauatic plnt, would do better on a window sill planted, they are commonly sold as aquatic plants tho, but it doesnt take long for them to start rotting in water..
the room divider tank looks huuuugeee and again extremly healthy :)
im loving all of the tanks,very natural , im very impressed.. you obviously know a lot more than you give yourself credit for :)

thankyou ever so much for sharing them,cant wait to see how the top tank progresses :)

Doris do you know the flavour of Platy that is on the middle right of the first picture? He/she looks like one I've got but I don't know what the variant is...
 
125l contains dracaena sanderiana you can either grow this in a pot although on the window sill isn't great as it doesn't like intense lighting so anywhere else within the room would be better, you should also water with old tank water as it doesn't like chlorine or like me and grow out of the tank but have the plant partially submerged:



I have found it takes 5 weeks for the stem to rot to a degree where the structural integrity is compromised if left completely submerged however if left with a few inches above the surface it is growing and the submerged stem is strong although the leaves are losing there coating by stripping by cherry shrimp which would hint that they are rotting but the fibrous material remains like a skeleton leaf.

Nice tanks btw although the 12gallons frame is bit weird can you not take that off somehow?

I don't know off the top of my head, but I did encounter it's name oline a few days ago.

I shall root through my history and find out for you.

No, I have tried.

It is metal and made in a single piece, weird eh?
