Did a 80% water change on my 72 bow, 30g, 10g and set up new 30g. I still have no idea what's going in there. I have got pool filter sand as the substrate several pieces of driftwood and some swords and crypts.

'Cos you spent valuable time boiling leaves.
The method I utilize for oak leaves is to rinse them and drop them in the tank. In a couple of days they drop. In my opinion, boiling causes them to break down faster and make a mess. Not so bad if you have shrimp or plecos to eat them, but for aesthetic purposes rinse and drop is the best way to go.
Yeah... I have had some really crappy luck with parasites and fungal infections in my tanks. I tend to be *very* overzealous about disinfecting stuff thats going in there now... probably way too much.

What do you have already? What species do you wish to work with now? Of couse, I mean species that would work within those 30 gals.

Where there's life there's hope.
Have a lot of rapidly maturing juvenile Apisto species from the CCA Convention that I might consider thinning out if you decide to go that route.

I have yellow and austrialian rainbows, bolivans rams, GBRS, geos Alitifrons, SA tetras of several types. I got a 90g I am going to setup as a planted tank for young adult discus. What do you think about angels in that 30g never done those. I have some pics I going to attemp to put up so you can see what I am working with.

That might be one of the ways to go avatar, those bolivians rams you gave me last year are just to die for.

I think you should take Sam (Avatar) up on his offer for the apistos. A 30 gal would probably be good only for a pair of angels.

Angels can live in smaller tanks...
...they just don't do them justice once they get big as they're clearly more comfortable beyond a pair in a larger space being as they're fairly snarky in a con-specific sort of way.

Fed fish, drank a dozen beers and painted the back of my 120.

This is a good thread for motivating me to do stuff with my tanks. Changed about 50% of my 150 and about 20% on a couple of my 15s.

That's hot! Are those vallisneria giganta or subulata? See if you can find a tall piece of driftwood that wood (pun) take up the tank. Your hardscape (driftwood, rocks) should take up about 2/3 of your tank, height and width. Is that just plain pool filter sand? Do you have a nutrious substrate under it or are you using root tabs to feed the plants?

NICE!!! What substrate are you using and how much light are you using? Are you using ferts?
Use the tall plants to hide your hardware. Good work, son!
