Default pic of my new tank.

I got this tank from a friend because they are moving out of town. Wasn’t much before, but after a few water changes, makeover, glass and surface scrubbing, its become real eye candy. I added a couple of rainbow fish (names unknown). The live plants have become super healthy and are now growing fast. I love the simplicity of the tank. Just wanted to share a pic with you all.

HABU,
Those plants will make it because they have been in the tank for 25 years and thinned down as needed. I didnt think it was possible for plants to grow in the low light levels provided either but its obviously not true.
