...I'm very pleased with the effect. The fish and plant look brighter and the tank looks deeper - which is all great.

Thanks to all for the suggestion.

Your tank looks amazing.I love the verticals provided by the Vallis.
Also,your Rummys look so happy with their little red faces.

Thanks again everyone - I've just done a water change and trimmed plant/removed algae etc and all is looking better. I've also been given 2 more RummyNose (Thanks Matty) so I
ve got ten of those lovely fish shoaling around now. I like the way the neons/cardinals often join in with them as well.

Thought I'd add an update picture now the CO2 https://www.tropicalfishforums.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=7899 has been running for a month. The Ambulia has grown well and the Valllis is running out of room - wonder how long the longest bits are on it...

Lovely tank. Those vals add a lot of depth.

Is that algae I see? :D

Thanks - Yes it is algae - I've had a lot of problems with algae over the time since I set i up (1about 15 months ago). The main growth is over the wood and was present before co2 injection started. This weekend I will do a water change and scrub all four pieces of wood to remove the worst. The back left piece will get covered with some riccia I have. The ambulia at the fron will receive a good trim and there will be a general tidy up.

Also, is that some sort of crypt I see on the far left? I usually don't go for the crinkly leaved plants, but it looks great.

Well I actually managed to do the job - helped by the bad weather here. Thought as I could not do gardening outside I'd do it in the wet inside ;-)
So attached is another picky of the tank after about 4 hours of water change, wood cleaning and plant trimming/replanting etc

Yes it is a crypt - but my records do not show what type it was - the plant label I kept was a bit vague. Attached is a better photo of it...
