Hi All, I've been writing blogs about my adventures with (planted) tanks. One is on using plants as filter instead of a bacterial filter and showing that plants support a normal bio-load and give near-zero nitrate levels. The last two are about an experiment to grow high-tech plants in a low-tech tank. That is, use high light intensity but without the liquid fertilizers and, hopefully, without CO2. The last part was posted today and includes the first batch of high-light demanding plants that I got from Hung Lee. You can find the blog at biodives.com/blog

I have been born with the aquagene and have a life-long love for anything aquatic, in particular fishes. The closest thing to heaven is scuba diving in the ocean but for the remaining 50 weeks per year I need alternatives. I've kept aquaria off and on for the past 45 years and restarted a 90 gallon Orinoco biotope tank one month ago. I am hoping to find some like-minded local hobbyists to share experiences, tips, tricks and plants or fishes. Here is the tank after one month Current fishes: 16 red phantom tetra 7 otocinclus (I believe they are O. vittatus) 1 pair of Apistogramma macmasteri I'll post more specifics in other forums once I get better at taking pictures Cheers, Bart
