Looking good so far. I always enjoy the looks of Ram. Keep it up.
By the way, since when did you get into fish aquarium? I thought you were always a reptile guy with extra love for snakes and lizards. Are you still keeping as many lizard pets as in the past?
@ Greenamy,
It is hard to find unpolluted soil. There are always pesticide, chemical fertilizers, and herbicides in most soil you can find. They can be harmful or even deadly to the fish.
Partial water change every 3~4 months is a little extreme. The water change we do is not just for removing the nitrate, but also to restore the water buff, minerals, etc. There are also other organic waste we can't see beside nitrate. Unless the aquarium is heavily planted with very few fish, the need for water change is definitely more frequently than once every 3~4 months.
