hehe...thanks for the comments guys..

well..heres the update right now

riccia came by mail today so i tied it down to some rocks. over the 3 days of being inside the package, the riccia kind of yellowed. i hope they thrive. still waiting on taiwan moss to come. no pics today because not much has changed yet.

and my cycling seem to be doing well also. 2 ppm ammonia, 4 ppm nitrites, and 10 ppm nitrates. hurry my lil' bacteria!
