This summer both of my planted tanks really suffered from lack of maintenance due to several factors, as a result i lost a few plants & is still battling some nagging algae issues,but the tanks are on the upswing.
Many thanks to the members who kindly donated some plants to help replenish the ones i lost, there are still a couple more i want to replace.
Here are a couple of pics of  the tanks as they are now .

The Tanks still look amazing Charlie.  The 59g looks like an under water jungle.

Awesome  :D

It's hard to tell that there are any plants missing. Your tanks are as amazing as we always knew them!  ;)

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.  So love the people who treat you right.  Forget about the one's who don't.  Believe everything happens for a reason.  If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.  If it changes your life, let it.  Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

Awesome looking tank Charlie.  Love the driftwood/dutch style combo.  That's a nice centrepiece of wood.
