Photo Sunday

Ideally, my tank photography will improve. I mean, I have a $600 camera. Although, with that sort of equipment you'd think I'd figure out how to properly photograph Rhaegar, but I haven't. He may photograph better in his 6.6. Which, I might add, is moving along. Ammonia was almost down to 0 this morning. <.25ppm. Wow! NO2 is off the charts, NO3 is nuts too. Ladies and gentleman, I give you the Nitrogen cycle.

Morning cup of Nitrites. The ammo in the 6.6 is gone, the NO2 is spiking away. This time next week? Who knows!

The cycling 6.6, with a random java fern and two anubias.

 

The hornwort in the 6.6 seems ill. I wasn't planning on keeping it past the cycling process, because it's messy anyway.

Jerkface is looking lovely this morning.

The 10-gallon isn't exactly a palace right now. I'm waiting on the tank divider, and then I'll finish landscaping. Plus, there's a floating piece of wood which needs sufficiently water-logged before it can rest. Maybe a nice piece of driftwood, albeit a small one.

A satisfactory shot of Jerkface's scales.

Chunk even chunkier. Every day he loses a piece of his tail. He obviously is either the primary annoyance or the slowest guppy. Come on tank divider, arrive quickly.

The Burmese Loach (in the cave) and a young Clown, coming out to see me.

The young loach came all the way out. Up close you can see the scratches that Ben put on my glass when he dragged the algae scraper across it with a fluorite pebble in between. Yikes.

A baby java fern ready to leave the mother ship.

Looking good, if I do say so myself
