Instagram

Since I got a new phone with a pretty good camera on it and lots of space for photos, I have been introduced to the world of Instagram. 

If you'd like to follow my blog-related one, it's... *drum roll*... leavesinmycup

It will just contain extra photos that don't make it onto the blog or facebook (plus the ones that do).  For example, this was today's post:

A shrimp and a ramshorn snail bask in the new aquarium light.



That new plant light looks good!

I received a Finnex Stingray aquarium light today, which is good for growing low-medium light plants.  The extra shallow depth of my tank plus the bit of sunlight from the window (most of which is blocked, due to the heat) mean that I should be able to grow medium light plants pretty easily.  I'm not going to get into high-light plants at this time, because I don't want to deal with injecting CO2.

The light has mostly white LEDs, but also a few that are red (for optimal plant growth) and blue (for picking up fish sparkles and magic??).  It definitely gives the tank a more natural feel than the worn-out fluorescent I had been using.
