Random Wibblings

The plants in the tank needed a good trim so I went to town yesterday and went from this (unfortunately I got a bad reflection in the pic):

To this:

I’ve removed the vallis from the back right of the tank as it just didn’t look right, and moved the sword that was in the centre to replace it. This has opened up the centre of the tank where all the cryptocorynes are. There is also a nymphaea (I think) bulb just starting to grow there so that should fill it in as well.

I just wish the cycle would finish now. It is processing all the ammonia in 12hrs or less but the nitrite still isn’t down to 0 in 24. It’s currently wavering at 0.6 to 0.1. Here’s hoping for next weekend…
