Likewise!!!!

Thank you for commenting. To my knowledge the background light has no effect on plants in any setting. But I'm not 100% certain. I have thought about it...

Is it too many?

@@LushSaltyAquariums Never! I appreciate the content. If I had the skill to make my tanks look this good I'd be posting regularly lol.

@@Scaperoot79 Thank you for the clarification. I'm pleased you appreciate the content :)

Where there's a will... However, from my seat in the fish room it is the Neons that I see and I would likely miss them, even if the Licorice Gouramis did not.

Agreed! And thank you for the support :)

True AF, AF! Thanks for dropping by :)

Danke! What's the weather like by you? assuming it's hottest time and wondering how your ecosystems are faring...

A bad smell may not be rectified by adding plants (please check your water chemistry and substrate condition) though abundant healthy plants will mitigate the issues that cause certain foul aromas. Hornwort and many other fast growing easy plants can be very beneficial. Good luck!

TY! This is my most "low tech" aquarium. But it gives me a lot of joy :)

Sounds promising! 🙏

TY for stopping by!

@@audrameyer9558 the Anubias are in their element for sure!

@@MorningDriftwood more than one way to skin a tank!

Well... Though i spend very little time on this particular tank I spend probably 7-10 hours per week "with my hands in a tank." But it's a labor of love for me. And honestly it should be for every hobbyist.

@@LushSaltyAquariums nice! I agree totally! I don’t consider it to be labor at all😆👍🏻

Thank you, Matthias!

Hook it up with some moss ! Lol I’m in Chicago

@@DavidTorres-fb9lh Plant a lot and plant deep! And yes the moss is like "caulking" :)

@@S.MO.K thank you so much, dear friend. Aquariums are living art for sure!

@@4kfishes much obliged, 4k. Thank you for the compliment!

flip aquatics had a nano tank aquascaping contest! I made the final four but did not win. Lots of fun though :)

@@LushSaltyAquariums that's a winner's attitude my man! stoked to see everything grow into itself in the future those licorice really set off that beautiful scape.

@@yoYogurtYodeler Yup- not to sound like a snowflake, but everyone with a healthy aquarium a winner ;)

Thank you so much for the validation! I tend not to like all that crap either plus it takes a lot of time and effort to create detracting from what matters.

@@seannunes2041 thank you for the comment. It’s funny how we all have certain plants that give us unique challenges.

@@tropicalfishhub maybe one in almost two years!

@@the186element9 wow, 186 - that’s quite a compliment. TY!

@@the186element9 OMG- this is like the penultimate compliment. But from all my subs I feel appreciated. Wiser world? Maybe add one day :)

Yup. In this hobby (and life), one has to make concessions as well as take chances. Shame this can't be said for our political system ;)

Vibrant. That is a good word for it!

I'm still praying on the 2.0 version 🙏

😎

Yes, something like that a strong possibility. But there are multiple Anubias in that cluster and some are sprouting new leaves. I am not a patient man but I will wait this one out a bit longer🙏

Well, it is eye catching ... even hurting! TY, Talisa :)

Thank you very much, Soniya!

Yes. However, that has no impact on the above-water growth, which gets all its CO2 from the air.

@@Theoffish1 lol and thank you for the support! Good luck with that algae ;)

Another fan of the "lovely mess" - thank you!

Or: "Eating Fish makes Man Horny."

@@LushSaltyAquariums 😂 no man, that'll turn off the female viewers. Stick with horns 😂

@@drumultabereim5 😈📯

'Tis a Lovely Mess!

@@otallono alas, you’ve found my blind spot. I do not have any personal experience with African cichlids. You could try putting a notice on FB marketplace forum or taking the animal to a big box pet store, where they generally take anything as a courtesy to customers. I do think your intuition to move him out is correct.

@@Scaperoot79 fond of the lovely mess I’ve created, are you? 😂

Why not? can i help you with them?

I have good lighting and started off with root tabs and they all die in a month. Tried so many plants and they never live. I think the tanks is jinxed. The fish are so happy cause they have cover etc but then the plants die and fish aren’t the same.

@@tktropicals4997 Do you use any kind of soil? And is whatever substrate you do use deep enough to support roots growth (for stems)? Also- There are super easy plants you can try: Val, Pealweed, hornwort... They are almost bullet proof.

@@LushSaltyAquariums I have soil and sand on top Deep enough for plants in my 20H tank.. I tried stem plants and they grow well but then they die off and just sit on top of water. My yo yo fish unrooted them another way they died. LOL I did just put in a jungle val and it seems to be ok. Been 2 months. I have a crypt that seems to be growing and Anubis on a piece of wood that is ok but val not growing like I heard. It grows like a weed, well not in my tank. PH water is 7.5 and temp is 78-81. I put some sage plants in my 10gal and they are ok been 3 weeks with some melting. I did add some root tabs to both tanks. I guess I gotta be patient. I tied hornwort but messy and never hear of pealweed

@@tktropicals4997 Give the Val a few more weeks. it often takes 2+ months to get started but once it does... also: Pearlweed is a super hearty lush growing stem.

Yup. Algae not a problem in this tank!

You're the best, DD!

Ooh, you like 'em au naturel!

Yup! 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

Need to clear cut a spot first ;)

My most gnarly tank for sure!

Danke! Though this jungle might require some clear cutting :)

Vielen Dank!

Thank you for the compliment and your support!
