A high light planted tank is not easy to manage. First two months it looked like this:
Then like this
Then a co2 leakage, and me being slow on re-filling the tube, made it look like this again:
Now, three months later, all the algea suddenly died, and the plants started growing faster than I could manage. It needs a trim, and a scape, but i love the colors. Bet my M. abei love it in there : D

Re: My planted tank the past year
Oh I see, no offense but how boring! If I had such a nice planted tank, it'd be for millions of shrimp, not a puffer I still love puffers though.

I've had enough of shrimps. They're not nearly as fascinating or interesting as puffers. <3
