Im Back !!!!!!!!!

Hello all,

What a crazy summer...... Been to more party's and weddings then I can count.
Looking forward to getting caught up on everything that's been going on.

Here is a picture of the tank I have been working on (still in progress)

Mark you might recognize the driftwood!

Welcome back. Join us at DESTIHL on Friday.

Welcome back...oh wait, your gone again. Is that a St. Joseph in the tank?

It is! just move back tank inside and rearranged everything a whole lot of work but worth it I will post pictures today when I get home. Planted a bunch of bulbs I got from Petco and several of them are already taking off.

Do you mean there are bulbous plants available for aquariums? I'm wondering if some of the varieties of plants I normally see for sale for aquarium are grown from bulbs - you just normally don't really see or notice the bulb part? Or are there bulbs you can plant in the aquarium that come up and then die back like seasonal bulbs outdoors? Just have never heard about bulbous plants for aquarium use... but then again, I don't know very much about aquarium plants. Can you elaborate? Thanks!

Bulbs are fun, they are usually Aponogeton bulbs but sometimes nuphar species. It's a fun thing to try, not all of them will sprout and some Aponogetons will go dormant after a while or require a slight cold spell while others will keep growing. Good lighting a patience, also don't disturb them when they sprout roots and new leaves.

Thanks for the info, Jinkin... will have to put that on my list to investigate! I love to garden and have planted significant bulb gardens outside... but never knew there were underwater varieties. I guess that's my new thing I learned for today.   

What size tank is that? It looks big. Also...where are the fish?

It's a 125 I'll have pictures in the morning got busy tonight and didn't get around to taking pictures! The tank looks a lot better since It has chemical filtration!
