My Underwater Garden

Hello everyone! It has been over 5 years since I last posted anything here. It has been that long since my wife passed…I gave away all my tanks. I’m slowly getting back into the hobb you. It gives me peace

Started this high tech 60 gallon cube 4 months ago:

Started this low tech 14 gallon cube below last week. Will make this a shrimp tank. While it’s cycling, thought I’d experiment tying stem plants (rotala rotundifolia) onto driftwood to create a tree.

Awesome scape, I just started back myself. Picked up a 125g and have it planted now, are you running any Co2? That’s amazing growth in 4 months

Nice!

Yes…I am running CO2 in the 60 gal but not in the 14 gal.

Stem plants are growing nicely out of the substrate…roots dangling freely gives it an interesting look.

Not exactly monster fishes but growing out a few L144 longfins for future breeding with the shrimps.

At age 50, it’s all about tranquility in life and watching critters and plants thrive in an ecosystem I created is very relaxing

Java moss grows so much more dense and less stringy with CO2
