2 assassin snails
18 Rummynose tetras {75g}


From Angels plus, I ordered:
6 Peruvian / Manacapuru Wild cross Angelfish {pretty!}

I think I'll up mine to 25. The school seems small, but I'm not sure I'll see once they're settled in.

Posters like that would never dare say that to someone's face because they may have to answer for it the ol' fashioned way

Judging from your signature you're to Maroon Clowns what Crossfire is to Kuhli Loaches.............

Nice! I recently switched over to T5s too....noticeable difference in days...plants much greener

 

[Ruskull]

Actually the fish didn't mind the extra light at first but the Corys aren't moving around as much as usual and the Honey Gourami is hanging out behind the filter outlet where it's darker

I may have to add some floating plants to break the lighting up a bit.

I do LOVE maroon clowns. But i love Kuhlis too.

You could try peat or almond leaves and get blackwater

I know what you mean, my 36 gallon tank has a Coralife T5 with 2x31 watts and the plants grow like crazy! Compare this picture from tonight to the pic in my signature from about 3 weeks ago:

I didn't buy any plants either, I just trimmed the ones that were there and planted the clippings. The Lemon Bacopa is growing unbelievably!!! Anubias plants are supposed to grow a leaf a month or so but mine grow about 1 per week or every other week.

I was kinda going for a beach scene look for that tank & I don't think the brownish water would go with that look. The Honey Gourami might be moving to my 36 gallon anyway & a few floating plants would look cool and serve a purpose.

 

[Man of fish]

I want bacopa, but I'm not sure where I could get some.
