    So I've started my tank again but had a LOT of issues!
    Thought I should post a few pics and off course the BBA issue that has taken hold.

    I had a solenoid malfunction, but are trying to bypass this issue by running two air pumps to cancel it out.
    Any advice welcome.
    PS: If you have glosso to spare, let me know...

    Sorry, tried to upload the pics, but they seem to be to large....
    Taken it with my phone, but don't know how to re size them, any advice would be appreciated!

    To make it smaller:

    1. Open the picture in paint.
    2. Click on the select tool
    3. Select the image part you want
    4. Drag it smaller from the right hand corner of the selected image (This will reduce the size)
    5. Right click on the image and copy it
    6. Click on "file" then click on "new" and then "don't save".
    7. Paste the Image then save it.
    (If it is still to big, change step 4 and drag it even smaller)

    Hope it helps ;-)

    Hey ek,

    tank is looking great man, now you must just plant a few foreground plants and the tank will really look cool....

    Kind regards,

    Dirk

    Thanks Dirk,

    Yip, looking for glosso to carpet the front, rest of the stems are also starting to fill in. (Any other foreground ideas perhaps ?)

    Will try and upload a picture again next week, thanks for the input Jacques, your step by step are appreciated!

    Monte Carlo is an easy foreground plant that grows quickly and dont need too much to thrive!
