Rearrangement # who knows?

Okay! So here's the new arrangement - can you tell what changed?

Most of what changed is equipment - I added a Rena XP3 filter to the tank on the left - with some mods. It was secondhand, and missing the output "U" piece, so I replaced it with a generic piece from the LFS (local fish store) - one that has a fan output. That was producing too much turbulent water flow, so I used some boiling water and pliers to widen it out, which helped calm down the flow. The input extenders and strainer have been replaced by a spraybar, which pulls water from nearly the entire water column. I think water quality has improved - the flow pattern certainly has. Now all the plants wave gently in the current, rather than just the few lucky ones near the power filters' outputs. The CO2 diffuser has been moved to the lower right wall of the tank, and the cords corralled by suction cups. Since the loops on the suction cups were too small to fit the power cord through, I cut them off, used a hobby knife to make a slit in the stub, and threaded a ziptie through - that way I could close the ziptie around the cords and cut off the excess. As long as I remember to be gentle with the suction cups I think it'll work out just fine! The two power filters' positions were switched - the surface skimming one is now farther away from the XP3, where it can do some good.

I also added some java moss! It was a pain to tie it to the driftwood and the rock on the right with fishing line, but the invisibility of the line makes it worth the effort. I bought a huge clump of moss, so for the extra, I rounded up some rocks from other tanks and used mesh from a scavenged shower pouf to tie it down. Hopefully the mesh will keep the cichlids and pleco in the other tank from chowing down on it right away! We'll see how much is left in that tank tomorrow. (Not much, I'm guessing.) I'm just hoping the moss in here will take off and do well! The rest I'll keep as a bonus reserve in the quarantine tank.
