Sunlight + Water = Algae
Bullshit, that’s what I say.
Full sunlight for about 8 hours a day.
This tank cost less than $200 to set up and maintain for over one year.
Some people have posters of movie stars on their walls. I like to look at plants.
Cabomba
Cryptocoryne Wendtii
Limnophilia Aromatica: this plant produces a lovely fragrance when crushed.
Dwarf Lobelia
Potomageton Gayii (with a cherry shrimp)
Hemianthus Micranthemoides
Proserpinaca (aka Mermaid Weed – submersed growth)
Emperor Tetras.

for some strange and inexplicable reason, your pics make me hungry.
Ah- lovely photos. Struggling with algae myself !
I was addicted to fish tanks for years. Then I gave up the hobby for a while when I moved.
Years later I tried to get back into it and I guess I lost my touch.
All the fish died about one month after getting restarted. Oh well.
lovely pics, i think i’ll go to the ocean and take some tomorrow lol
