Also my mind when i see shrimpies

wake up babe new shrimp colors just dropped

For those who have been following my paper Koi lantern project, the Kickstarter will now be released in November (we found better paper and needed to rework the logistics) In the mean time, you can follow all progress on my Discord :) 

Some very honest State of the Tanks photos. They always look better in person, can’t photograph them to save my life, but the colors are popping. (No color adjustments on these!)

The 40 gallon is growing quickly despite nasty algae that conveniently doesn’t show up that well in photos? Mostly black beard algae/cladophora and green spot, so my fertilizer dosing/CO2 injection needs to be fine tuned. Despite this, the brand new rotala “H’ra” (5th photo) is getting pink/orange/red. I love it! The bucephelandra are also growing despite the algae, they may need a little repositioning to help with that. A good trim of the nearby rotalas will also help the alternanthera reineckii get beefier, but it is holding its own now that it’s got plenty of root tabs. (6th photo)

Maximus’ tank is chugging along slowly but steadily. The bolbitis and bucephelandra keep floating away. That is extremely annoying. Root, damn you! But the hygrophila difformis is back after nearly rotting into oblivion.
