If you want, you can post some pictures here and also start a journal in the general section with the same pictures or however that you want to do it.

Hopefully, the buzzing has quit.

Well its been on for over an hour now and I replaced the nut like Matt said, the buzzing is no where near to what it was but I'm not as concerned now that you cant hear it unless your ear is on top of it.

Maybe there has always been a little buzz but until now i really haven't notice it.

Here are some shots of before, during and after.















So as you can see i had a ton of vals and sag in the before. I kept a few vals that i replanted in the back and replanted the nicer looking sag up front.

I had one small section of dwarf sag that I wanted to keep in hopes of it making a carpet affect. I may have save a small patch which looks to be doing well.

Have a tone of water wisteria which i will keep for now.

The red tiger lotus was also kept and is doing pretty good. I found two smaller bulbs that branched off the big one, both of those are also doing good.

The steams of....??? maybe Bacopa australis, not sure if that is what i have but that's the closest plant i can find that looks like it. Are now in the middle, i thought i would lose a few steams as they didn't seem fit to fight but by my amazement they came back to life!

Had four small steams of rotala in there also, I'm amazed at how well they are doing.

The java fern has seen better days, lol it looked like Edward Scissorhands got to it. It was doing really bad before the ferts and Co2 but now it is showing more life than ever.

I also had one steam of Cabomba Green just floating around, now it has found a home next to the anubias and actually started to root. I've had this one steam for months now and could never get it to root so i'm very pleased.

The Anubias was the only plant i did not remove for the rescape, it took awhile for it to root back there so i didn't see the benefit of pulling it up just to replant it in the same spot. It now has three new leafs and another coming out.

Please correct me if i named those plants wrong, i was never big into learning plant names. lol

Below are pics from every Sunday since the rescape. I will have some more tomorrow after the water change.

It can also be noted that since the rescape i have upgraded my filter to a Fluval 205 with the spray bar. Since doing this i was able to remove the Koralia Nano, the water flow from the 205 is great.

I've been dosing Flourish potassium 7ml, phosphorus 10ml and nitrogen 5ml. As well as some Flourish Comprehensive 7ml, I was running low on that so i now have Flourish Trace, i thought it was the same stuff but after doing some research its not.would you recommend using this or should i buy some more Comprehensive?

For now that's all I have time for, I'll probably start my journal tomorrow with more on my progress.
