I haven't changed anything with the tank yet. I am wanting things to come to a balance of their own. The anacharis is growing, the anubias seems to be putting on new leaves, the micro sword is hard to tell-I suspect it is a slow grower, but haven't researched that yet.

A bit of brown algae is starting to grow on the plants and sides of the tank. I have cleaned it from the leaves of everything by rubbing with my fingers and using a magnetic cleaner on the glass. It removes easily so not a big problem. I am still waiting for things to get a good root system before adding a bristle nose plecostemus.

The one that used to reside in this tank is in one of the girls 10g tank that was covered with algae. I let it go knowing I would do this so I could see just how good they work. The kids and wife are amazed at how fast the pleco cleaned the tank. The wife and girls both asked if I had cleaned the glass!
