    as if i needed another tank..

    i got rid of my juwel koral 60 and my jebo 100, so i replaced the two of them with a 60p.

    it has been pretty low tech up til now, just running one bank on the 602 aquasky with no CO2, holding a few rare clippings, and mosses and ferns that i have collected locally to see if they work in our tanks.

    but i have missing stems and red plants quite a bit with all my other tanks being nature scapes, so i have turned this into a little stem tank for now. i added CO2 and switched on the 2nd bank on the 602.

    with all the awesome stem plants available all of a sudden at yuppie pets, VIP and better weather, i couldnt resist trying for some colour again.

    its such a cheerful little tank now IMO :)

    Very lekker Ray, yes I know the temptation... I also can't seem to find the self discipline to get rid of my last colourful stems !

    now i just have to wait a few weeks for the bushes of stems to grow, and then decide if i got the leaf colours and texture groupings right..

    that looks fantastic Raymond!
    Whats the back left - just in front of the red plant at the back?
    Looking forward to getting my CO2 going.

    Is HM easier to plant than HC?

    Yea.. A million times easier to plant as it's a stem plant that grows tall.. U can train it to creep though like Raymond has..

    Sean is out of 60ps :(
