It's been a long time...
So much has happened since 2010. I moved to Colorado, have a new job and chaos everywhere. Hadn't thought much about aquariums until a couple of weeks ago when my eight year old son came home with a 10g tank he bought at a garage sale.
Well, it didn't take long for me to get back into it. First we setup the 10g and got 2 Albino cory's, 4 neons and 4 guppies from Petsmart. One guppy was dead by time we got home and the other 3 lasted about a week. Neons were doing so well I got 4 more.
I got my son a small tank for his desk and put a Betta in. Betta lasted about a week. Not sure about Petsmart in Fort Collins....
Went to D&G and got him 2 guppies that seemed to be doing great, but today the male was dead. Is it something about our water?
Going to replace the 10g with a 20 high and try planting again. Getting a Ray2 light that seems to meet everything I need. Also need to get the co2 tank filled.
Got back on Plantedtank.com and talked to some nice people about plants.

Tanking the Tank
Been a while since my last post. Lot of unrelated stuff going on. Anyway, the Cabomba has all died off. I'm still having issues with holes in the leaves. HC is gone too.
I finally gave up on the diy co2 and got a 5lb tank with a milwaukee regulator. The thing works great! A couple of the plants are looking better already and they are now beating back the algae some. I'll continue to tweak until i get the bps right.

Burning and flowers
Long time since posts. The plants are generally doing ok. Cabomba has almost died out, and the HC doesn't seem to be doing anything. All the others have been doing well.
Today I noticed a flower on the nana!
But also, more 'burning' on some of the plants.

The growing accelerates
I seems the fertz have started to have an effect. Everything is growing crazily except the HC and the Cabomba which seems to be failing a little.
