Default Recent Tank Pics

Hi Folks,

Thanks for the kind comments. I don't have to tell any of you that a plant
tank is a labour of love (emphasis on labour). Bruce, the plant in the right
corner is described at the end of this message. The tank is 120g, 24 x 48 x
24 inches and the substrate is 100% black Fluorite. Black Fluorite is
actually gray not black. I would have preferred black.

Here's the plant info, which I copied from the Tropica site. I have the
plant attached to a rock which is great because I can move it around as
required.

Microsorum pteropus 'Windel˘v' is a patented variety of M. pteropus, named
after Tropica's founder Holger Windel˘v. Its finely branched leaf tips make
it one of the most beautiful aquarium plants. A hardy and easy plant for
both beginners and the more experienced. Best planted on a stone or tree
root (this is how Microsorum grows in the wild). If planted in the bottom
the horizontal rhizome must not be covered. This plant is not eaten by
herbivorous fish.

Best regards,
Robin

Very beautiful pictures and wonderful tank. What a pleasure to look at !
You are to be congratulated.

What is the tank size? Also, what is the plant in the front right

corner?
Is your substrate black Fluorite?
