Nope no new additions no mortality
Angels are good and always laying eggs but no time to take care so they eat their eggs
Apistos are doing good
L168 is in good health
Whiptails are excellent
Anubias are growing slow. Few turned yellow and died but rest are doing great.
No pictorial update
May be in few days once i get free

not really any thing to update on this tanks aswell
the tank just gets feeding, once a blue moon fertilizer dose and carbon dose, no trimming or scaping, every 8-10 days religiously water change thats itt
no mortality, no additions to the tank
angels are growing and breeding but as always no special care taken (no time)

but here goes FTS

the problem with this tank is the leaves of fern and anubias are sometimes go brown
also the dirt is accumilated on the anubias leaves
like in the pic

what could be the reason for this ?? less circulation in the tank ??

the reason can be less circulation and algae growing on the leaves that accumulate dirt on them

@juanico those are ista fertilizer tabs the yellow ones.....

How to increase the flow ? Coz increasing the flow will make angles uncomfertable.

use spraybar with a low output powerhead, you can easily make it by using an acrylic tube and pointing the holes towards the plants
