cheers Very Happy

Looking at the pic i need to move the heater, looks a bit dumb where it is now, used to be hidden by a mass of plants.

I also want to get a good solid carpet of moss going down the front, being broken by lotus plants and a few rocks. Just need to get the moss growing a bit and then i can start to train in.

Might sneek into uni tomorrow and steel the labs nice camera and take some pics of it and the fish properly. Need to get some pics for the comps Smile

yeah, the heater and the pH meter need to be moved. might play around with the intake

that is the read out of the pH in the tank. The tank has a fully automatic CO2 system on it (even though its not running at the moment as the plants were growing too much haha) and it uses the pH of the tank to trigger the gas.
