Click here for details. Below is a running time-lapse. Ill try to update every month or two, to keep the journal. Really cools to look back and see this used to be plain gravel! I havent seen the rock in that tanks in months, heh.

update Dec-04: I have stopped injecting CO2 about 6 months ago. Its just more work than im willing to commit to. I had a major PH crash due to a hot load of apple juice and lost most of my fish and some of the weaker plants. We switched to livebearers, Guppys, Platys, a couple clown loaches, Corys, and some SAEs of course. We are on the 8th generation now of guppy and platys. No breeding cages, im letting nature do what nature does, I usually get 5-15 fry that make it per birth. I keep big balls of java fern and indian fern to use as a nursery, and momma seems to always go there instinctively. Note the 12" crypts in there due to fern overgrowth. Pretty neat stuff
