Wow! 3 for $11.00 is a good price! I think Scales has them two, but for $4.99/ea if I remember correctly. (Honestly, don't blame me if my memory is wrong) So, you used to have rocks in there. Are you wanting to go collect some rocks after the meeting in a few weeks?

Aaron,

Can I borrow your set up pics for my talk at the ECS meeting. I need to do a powerpoint of my 'technique'.

Can we have your powerpoint after you're done?

If you want to see Aaron's pics again, sure.

Yeah, that's fine with me Sean. So long as you don't show them my algae pics.

I was more so wanting to stop at Lake Fairfax Park and find some Eriocaulon that Ghazanfar says grows there. I'm up for rock colleting too though.

Well, if we can find enough daylight, maybe we could do both? Maybe before the meeting?

Maybe. I'll have to check with the wife first.

Here's a tank update as of this afternoon. I'm still having some green water issues, but the beard algae/ diatom algae has all cleared up. I also have some new inhabitants because the ones I added made more.

Scape Update:

Baby Niger Otto (Lil' Brudder):

Furcata Rainbow Fry (I found 3):

Algae free for 2 months running now.

Growth on everything has been gorgeous. The red plant is Rotala sp. 'colorata' with Rotala macrandra 'green' still in its original place behind it. I added the rocks because it no longer houses furcatas rainbows. It now has a pair of Apistogramma viejita 'gold' cichlids and some very frightened cherry shrimp. The foreground is Crassula helmsii now.

Here's a closeup of Rotala sp. 'colorata'.
