Update on the UNS 60T, since the addition of the new co2 generator from and my twice a week fertilizing schedule with all in one fertilizer. The algae has been at bay and the coloration and growth of the plants have exploded!

The Landen 36P is planted and ready to grow! Months of planning went into this tank. It went through 6 weeks of the dry start method and have had some melt but it's bouncing back!

Something I've been trying out is the dry start method with this carpeting plant. This plant is Hemianthus Callitrichoides, also known as hc cuba. To grow the plant into a nice lush carpet I sprayed down the soil in the aquarium until it was all wet, I planted the little plugs of hc everywhere, and then saran wrapped the top of the tank. I put the light (a strong light) on a timer of 12 hours a day. And then for gas exchange the saran wrap is lifted 2 times a day for 20 minutes. This helps get fresh air O², and CO² in the tank for the plants to feed from. As well it helps prevent any mold growth. This tank is 5 weeks old. And I will soon be filling it with more plants and water. Then adding a CO² system to ensure healthy lush growth from the plants.
