Cgy_Betta_Guy Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 20130130 - been fighting algae growth by playing with the amount of time the lights are on. Seems to be reducing the various forms. Endlers have gone craaazy while the CRS dont seem to be doing much of anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaykit Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Very nice looking tank! I like your aquascaping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cgy_Betta_Guy Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Thanks for the compliment! Its actually a pretty haphazard planting style... LOL. I have pretty much run out of real estate in that tank to put anything else but I usually find a way to shoe horn something new in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cgy_Betta_Guy Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 20130720 Finally got around to messing with my white balance on my camera so this is much more accurate color wise. Sorry for the mess, it really needs a good trimming in this pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumpsmasher Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Very nice! How are your CRS doing in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cgy_Betta_Guy Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 The CRS are doing ok... seen some little guys but I think the overall population is declining. I may have to put a more prolific breeding type of shrimp in there like pumpkins or rilis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
