A little drop of vinegar in some water does the trick [;)](for cleaning the outside, not in the tank water[2funny])  but the tank looks good Laura [H]

Looking Good Laura[Y]

Try and take the pictures at an angle to the glass and then you won't get the flash reflection.

So Q's - what size is it, what lighting, what substrate, what ferts?  

Ech. Tennellus or eleocharis parvula would look good at the front.

ok the substrate is a mix of fine and med black gravel....the fert is i have no idea something my LFS gave me ( the bottle says plant food) and the lighting is only just sufficient i think , im going to steal one of my boyfriends hydro lights and see whether it is to bright for the fish (if there is such a thing???)

Looking very lush Laura, good job! [Y]

My sister's border collie used to do the same thing back in the days when I had tanks indoors, I eventually banned it from the room.

One small point - to the left of the second picture is a plant with red striped leaves which I think is Dracaena - this isn't an aquatic plant (although it's sold as such) and will eventually die being fully submerged.

Garden shed full of tanks (tropicals) and a pond.

Without understanding, knowledge is worthless

Now you say Ferox I have only just noticed the dracaena. Hadn't looked too closely before[Y]

Yes it needs removing as it will go a mush and pollute the water[Sad]
