They’re both done. Still have rocks holding the wood down because it’s not quite waterlogged yet, but all of the plants that are going in are in. I have some dwarf sag left, but nowhere to put it. It wasn’t expensive, though, and I put all I wanted in both tanks. The 55 is nice and clear…for now.

Bacopa Cabana has tannin-stained water now, but Cliffie doesn’t care. He didn’t like the spot where I’d moved his old tank, and he was skittish, so P put him in his house after I’d tested the water, and I put in a tablespoon of SafeStart. He was too busy exploring to eat, but he seems fine.

God, what a lot of work. I took the afternoon off, and I’m glad I did because it took me almost 7h to get those plants in!
