Beginners Fluval 200L - Planted log

[Invicta]

Been 4 years since I updated, surely a record. Usual reasons but largely sudden ill health, work, and less time online. I've gone down from 4 tanks to 2 and may end up closing the 100L. All sounds logical but managed to enlarge my small pond and put in a second as a (wisper it, fishless) nature pond.. Watching the newts, water boatmen, frogs and tadpoles in the summer has been as relaxing as watching the aquariums.

200L (pictured) is much the same. The SAE is fully grown and enjoying retirement from (now eradicated) BBA muching. He has company in the shape of some Corys but is a shy beast compared to his younger days prefering the night light to day. The rest of the inmates remain the usual old community tank types and shrimps.
Upgraded to an Eheim 350 filter to give me a bit more punch and overcapacity. The Rena Smartheater eventually packed in and was replaced by a Fluval E series. Its a bit fussy with the display/water flow but does the job well enough.  Hope you are all well. I still visit to look at the sound advice from the usual suspects.
