Jim, your real tank looks like it's coming along nicely. I've had a heavily planted tank with CO2 injection for about 4 years now. Once it got stablized (took about 3 weeks), it has been very low maintenance. Mostly trimming back plants. Never had algae. It won't be long before your tank starts to fill out with the plants. As for Riccia, I have had it in the tank and it did well for a while but died out. Not sure why but probably my lighting. I only have 1.5 W per gallon so I rely on plants adapted to lower light levels.

Looking forward to any new products you happen to get out there for us. Of course, your freshwater screensaver will have to compete with the real freshwater tank in my office. If it's the same quality as your saltwater tank then it might be a close call.

aloha, Neil
