Looks awesome :)
Thanks Ranjib.
I had a crazy outbreak of cyano and that took forever to get fixed switched to ro/di water as i have chloramines and high nitrates in my tap and started re-mineralizing that and adding iron for my red plants and flourish and everything just went to growing like crazy.

Broke the ludwigia down to individual stems to propagate it more I can get store credit at the lfs for giving them excess plants when they start to take over so kudos for that.

I found a good lfs near me that i didn't know about as the one i used to go to downsized to about the size of a bathroom stall and they keep everything in tanks with separate filtration for each tank so knock on wood the rasbora have been in quarantine for 21 days and no sign of any illness but i have been treating with cp since they went into quarantine even so they never showed one spot anywhere when i sit to look at them for my 15 minute observation every day.

A good lfs is always a blessing. I had my share of cyano... it never really went off.. but its under control.. or I have learned what makes it come back..

I got it under control before and pulled my driftwood to clean it and it didn't show up again till I added the driftwood back and it came back with a vengeance so took driftwood out and vacuumed and cleaned like crazy.

I left driftwood out and it hasn't reared its head in 3 weeks now.

Didn't dip one of my plants and saw a snail been sucking them off every time i see one got them while they where tiny was like 1 or 2 every few days now i havent seen any for 2 weeks so hopefully I got them all before they spawned an invasion.

So far so good.
No major problems from reef-pi doing great.


Fish are doing great no sign of anything wrong after a little over a month in from quarantine.

I got a little algae outbreak as normal but the 4 nerite snails are voracious so not gonna clean the glass and let them do their thing for awhile.

A little melting on some of my plants the aponogeton are sending up flower stalks so seems they are liking it so far.
