So well, in fact, that I managed to take a 'whole tank' picture that's actually bearable, so that I now dare to share it with you.

I think this is the best 'whole tank' pic I ever took. This may have something to do with the fact that we had to replace one of the fluorescent tubes yesterday, and new tubes are of course nice and bright.
The tiger lotus is growing beautifully and now has a nice set of leaves:

When I bought it, it had just the two with the long stems (in this picture you can only see the stems) and the torn one that looks very pink here.
Finally, the two coconut halves I put in for my critters to use as shelters are much appreciated, especially by the kuhliis and the frogs:

If you look very carefully you'll see that there's a frog inside the coconut here, sticking its little nose out, while another one can be seen on the right.
As you see, this tank is not perfectly algae-free, nor do I want it to be. It has a healthy amount of non-aggresive algae, which the fish love to nibble on. I'm imitating a natural environment here, and algae are part of the picture.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
