Pretty happy with how it is growing in! I tried to go for as natural look as possible. Looking forward to the Lutea getting a bit taller in time to assist with the natural look my other tank has. Anubias went through a small hissy fit stage for some reason, but they're coming back around. I've been higher dosing ferts this time and getting great growth on my plants, especially the Monte carlo. Little Betta loves zooming around all day!

My two Betta girl tanks (right is a recent re-scape) and my mini shrimp tank. I'm considering a 4th... That's how it goes right? 😂

Of course I did. Couldn't resist her little pouty pleading face 🙄😂 Introducing Gingey. Lights off to settle for the day. She had some fin clamping when I bought her, but gradually I can see them shifting. I hope she enjoys her new jungle with me.

Picked this car up a few months ago, not running on a trailer. Now running, just needs some body work to be completed but overall pretty decent for original condition!

Just had the best weekend by myself camping out the back of my 4wd for the first time. It was surprisingly very comfy. I loved not packing up a wet icy cold tent (middle of winter here in Aus). Met some lovely Herefords, waited patiently for the wombats to come out the hole (they didn't, like always). Amazing scenery and Dutch oven pizza was epic. Solo camping has truly given me a new lease on life. If you're contemplating it, please give it a go! The peace, serenity and food for the soul is SO hard to beat. I'm so excited for my next adventure.

4 eggnant females currently, maybe I need another tank 😂

And a pillow on the floor for me to sit and stare at them 🤣

Especially this one, she doesn't let anyone share her shrimp ball, she always zooms off with it if anyone gets too close 🤣

After successfully cycling my tank and accumulating a nice pile of diatoms and algae I've introduced my little guys & gals. After trying for the longest time to decide what colour to get I went with Firey Reds after seeing them in the LFW display tank and how well they popped against the green scape! I knew I was going to run into issues with this Fluval (which I wish I had of realised before & not after), so I added a very small bag of crushed coral to the filter and it has held steady on pH 7.2 with KH 5 & GH 8 (which is also the same as my tap reading). I was fortunate enough to buy locally, where they have also been holding them at the same levels. I still drip acclimated over 2 hours and let them settle with the lights out for the rest of the day. Today they're zooming about eating constantly, and are SO fun to watch. I'll be keeping an eye on the levels to ensure that everything is ok with the coral and remove it if I detect any creep. I only added 6 and I think I was lucky enough to get a mix of sexes, so I might be lucky enough to see some breeding in future.
