    Mabuhay!

    Hi folks, wow, i thought for awhile i went to BayWatch website...eheheheh

    @Anthony
    i like rain-water for my tank it perks up my plants. But accdg to what i've read on the net its not really ideal for aquarium use but hey its working for me..hehehehe. But i am most concerned on the metal stand of my tank because it's exposed to the elements and may get rusty a little bit too soon.

    Updates
    After finishing the chores around the house, i planted my remaining plants temporarily placed in cups and i am so really amazed by the amount of roots developed using different types of soil. Since the plants have roots already i just hope that it will not have a hard-time acclimating in its new spot. The changes are so minimal, i only re-planted 2 plants, cut some stem plants here and there, thats it.

    I'll be adding soon a 2x T5HO so that i can view it at night and as supplementary lights.

    Please feel free to share your thoughts.

    Again thank you friends,

    Godbless
