Yea I get pretty bored with my setups fast too. It seems like 3 tanks arent enough just to have different looks altogether. I love seeing progressive tanks! Excellent job!

Thanx Heidi
I have heaps of tanks available to 'play'with *L* I dont generally muck too much with the larger ones unless they are looking a bit in need of a rehaul.
I do have a 3ft i tend to redo fairly often *L*. Though having said that the latest decor has been in there for a little bit, and finally i like how it looks (no pics of the 3ft yet). Its only occupents are a breeding pair of angels and an albino bn male.
The 4ft is looking like strong black tea, so it is nothing exciting at the moment, but once the newer wood settles, it will be scaped to a point. Its main goal is to be used for a breeding bristlenose colony, so it has quite a bit of wood in it, sand substrate, a few live plants. (pics to come once the tannins settle)
The 5ft is still the same, houses a large breeding colony of maingano and a 15cm male pep bn. This tank will be getting a move around (just a bit) in the next week or 2.
My custom 2ft, is starting to grow in nicely, more plants are needed before any pics are taken of that one though *L*

Are you using pressurized CO2?
What kind of ferts are you using, and are you using NPK?
How long are you leaving your lights on, and what kind of lighting are you using?
Beautiful tanks.

No CO2 used in any of the tanks. No fertz added, dunno what NPK is so i assume i aint adding that either *L*
4ft ~ Single 4ft T8
5ft ~ Double 4ft T8 + Single 2ft T5's both sides
Nano tanks ~ Originals built into tank
Lights generally run for a minimum of 9 hours

NPK stands for Nitrogen, Potassium and Phosphate.
They are the macro nutrients for plants.
Then there are micro nutrients which would be Fertilizer.

Then no i dont use them..
i di have dino spit, which is like a liquid carbon, but i dont think i've ever used it at this stage. Havent needed to add fertz, the plants are doing well without it and fertz
