Right I am going for it :)

First topic message reminder :

I have just ordered some plants for my rio 180, see how long I keep these alive.

You can take bets if you like, I give them a month before I kill them lol

Got up this morning and the catfish have had a right fit there is now a bare bottom section under the filter (which is running slow, no doubt filled with sand!!) so I have some re-planting to do !

Update: I have lost a couple of the plants, some long ones looks like the plec ate the stems, but some of the leaves have roots so I have left them to float about, the rest of the plants seem to be doing ok. The fish have done their own scaping with the sand, note the big mound rear centre where the swords are.

With flash, lovely tea coloured water
