So I figured I'd finally do a progression thread.

This little tank has really come a long way.
May15

A friend gave me an ugly frag to show the cycle was complete. Second week of June

Then I found this monster

Added these guys end of June I think

Starting to add more color first of July

By mid July things are shaping up

Mid August I added the Kessil A160w and my green lordhowensis

That color change tho

By September I began a Ricordea obsession

By October I had pushed my limits with simple dosing and moved up to a second hand RKE and BRS became my BEST FRIEND[emoji13]

By October things really have shaped up

I felt I wanted movement, so I added a shrub.

Then Mo and I became great uncles AGAIN

my little bubby
Discovered this gadget in November and the picture taking really commenced

I added these fiestas in September, they were devoid of color at first

First down shot and I loved the view

The murder scene, thanks to the echinata from hades!

And finally this past Tuesday

Thank ya thank ya! I'm gonna have to clean up the post a bit. Using Tapatalk seems to be a bit more of a challenge than I expected!

You ain't gotta stalk, I'll invite you in and offer a plate of food!
My cornbread is pretty good!

Make sure you put the milk in the freezer until it gets the lil' ring of frozen milk!;)

awesome! great looking tank. I might try my hand at a ricordea again. first one I had was bright and orange, but it was never attached to anything and eventually disappeared. I like your garden.

Hahaha love the tank and progression, pics are incredible especially with the lens cover gadget! Looking great!

Elementalj · Dec 10, 2016

Yeah, I really gotta figure this tapatalk thing out, I'm usually good at following the directions, and I still bunked it up! [emoji13][emoji851] derp

I have to be honest in saying they're one of my favorites. I'd like to do a ricordea only tank sometime in the near future, or perhaps a Caribbean species specific tank.
