Hi Everyone,

I thought I would post some update pics of my 4ft Aqua 1.
There have been quite a few changes since I set this tank up in April last year.
As you can see the log I had across the lengh of the tank has gone, also the river rocks are out.
The Aqua 1 trickle fillter has been decommisioned and 2 cannister filters added.
I added DIY co2 last week, and have noticed a huge difference in the growth of the plants.
I am thinking of empting the whole tank and adding laterite or a substrate additive of some kind as the plants are growing fast but are getting quite leggy eg: lots of stem and little folige.
I have no real fert program, so I will have to start one to get the growth I am looking for.
I have had numerous tank mates with my discus, however I have lost most of them, I dont know why, however the Discus have thrived, thank goodness.
Please let me know what you think of my tank at the moment.

Cheers Ashley

Hey Samir,
