how high do you have your light fixture ? Sitting on the rim? Raised?

Nice setup Errol. How about the 79g, something tells me you've redone that one too.

Thanks Eric.
Somebody has been letting the cat out the bag 
Your feeling is right, I have reworked the 79 for the umpteen time , as well as the 25 
Just waiting for some more growth before I take a picture of the 79 & for some good for nothing algae to clear from the 25

Just a quick update. I want to point out this tank has Fluval substrate since 2011, lights are 12 inches above the top of the tank from a sunlight 24 inch T5 HO strip with a reflector, there is no co2 or no fertilizers supplementing this tank- 10-15% water change weekly, so you can call this tank low tech, easy maintenance tank. Don`t worry about the air pump that feeds air to the bosses gold fish tank above, it is anchored there & will not fall into the tank

Java fern, Anubias, moss?, Crypts & dwarf Sag.

Looks good Errol! Looks like candy canes got dropped all over the tank. Lil too early for xmas decorations no? haha. Thanks for the update!

Nice tank Errol. How much water are you changing on a weekly basis?

[charlie]

Thanks Guy`s.
I  try to change 10% weekly, but sometimes it ends up being 10% every 2 weeks

Those shrimps are a nice to watch! Will have to try to keep a couple of them alive one day.
