Some of my FW tanks

[Anonymous]

As I've mentioned before Charles' TOTM aquascaped tank inspired me to give planted tanks another try. Like any text book obsessive/compulsive I just wouldn't be satisfied with just one tank, so I pretty much took every empty tank I had laying around and made a couple of low tech tanks just to get my feet "wet" again.

Here's a ~3 gallon custom made cube tank

A badly scratched 5.5 gal Mini Bow

And this is a feeble attempt on aquascaping on a 10 gals. AGA

They all have a mixture of Eco-Complete and Fluorite Red I had stashed in a bucket for a couple of yrs.. Also the cube and the 10 gals. have a DIY Co2 reactor.

In the future I'm taking my 75 gal Sw and turning it into a planted tank, hopefully this summer.

On my way to a meeting in a minute so I just have time for a quick comment now.... Looking good! That 3 gallon tank is really cute. Is that some hairgrass mixed in in the foreground? And I wouldn't call the aquascaping in the 10 gallon feeble by any stretch, it just needs time to grow in. The sagitaria in the foreground should look really good once it fills in. Going for the jungle look on this tank? Looking at the plant choices and picturing a few months growth on them I think it's really going to have the jungle feel.

TY Charles, the 10 gallon hopefully will get that jungle look/feeling, but I have to be cautious with letting it be too overgrown. We'll see.
