    Thanks @dash , @tanked72 I have 7 tanks, a 1500l pond and a bathtub . Would love more tanks , but taking too much of my time . @MaraiS , thank you , all water tanks run on DSD ferts . Will be trimming that tub with the flowering colorata soon, a lot of ludwigia repens and elodea in there .

    +1 Nice looking setups, hope to one day get my planted tanks up to this level... From what I read plants from a lot faster in emersed states, plants also do not need CO2 injection as they get it from the air?

    @scubabravo thanks , @Caz correct , I do think some plants grow faster emersed than in water , actually busy with colorata that seems to grow faster in the co2 tank than emersed . HC grows much faster emersed than in co2 tank, stuff like HC and also Glandulosa grows faster emersed . Plants get co2 from the air but adding co2 makes a huge difference . Check out this tread Rotala Colorata ,

    I also can't keep a male and female Betta in the same tank... And I thought it was just humans that fight so much:). Should be fine with Angels though. I have them with dwarf gouramis and barbs, without any issues.

    Started with the next co2 tank , then sadly while resealing the tank the side fell and broke , when to cut glass , sealed and noticed a big 2mm gap on the side , the guy somehow cutted the glass 310 and other side 312 , had to clean everything and resealed today. Was not to happy , went to the lps and got me my first black sealer tank "marltons" must say it does look great

    That does look nice! What happened to the tank you're working on? Sounds like a serious case of MTS:)
