40G: Back from Trip

December 16th, 2012

I recently returned from a week of travel for work. Before I left, I did my water changes, dosed a little bit extra, and made sure that the fish would get fed. Most of the tanks were already in pretty good shape, but I had recently replanted my 40g farm tank, and it was still in the process of recovering from that shock.

Much to my delight, the farm tank (above) really rebounded and grew in beautifully while I was gone. In addition, I think the lack of dosing caused the plants to temporarily color up due to needing more nitrate. This is one of those times where I find myself sitting and starring at my farm tank constantly, even though it’s not really aquascaped. Healthy plants are mesmerizing!
