After lots and lots of consideration I finally made the decision to take down my aquarium, mainly due to the fact that I have so little time these days to look after it the way I have done in the past. The plants were growing so tall and thick it was disrupting the flow inside the tank, in turn that was causing an out break of this long stringy green algae, which wasn't a major problem as I only had to pull one end of it and it would all come out in one piece. I also started to skip water changes as they seemed to be a major chore. So last night I decided to put my aquarium on flea-bay, I was just one click away, then I thought I would just play about with the hardscape one last time before I clicked that button....... As I was doing this It came to me, I haven't yet tried a low maintenance biotope, this would be perfect for the time I have to spend maintaining my aquarium "just when I thought i was out, they drag me back in" springs to mind! So now I'm delighted to say I'm very excited about my new project, any tips or links to a Biotope journal will be appreciated!
Thanks!
