Fire bellied newt tank? Post yours!

[ken123]

How is everyone keeping there tanks clean? After about a year mine is a little dirty...more than I would like...water changes twice a week, onion snail & horned snail. I like to give it a good stir and use a gravel vac (but not into the gravel). Thinking about going bare bottom with plants in glass dishes...

Do you know what the plant is that breaks the water surface Ian?

Around here it's sold in the LFS as "parrots feather"

Don't mean to hijack the thread but thanks for the info on milfoil. I have heard of parrots feather but did not know it was the same plant I have wanted for a few years! It does ok in low light?
Also very nice set ups guys! My newts would be oh so jealous if they saw the digs some of your animals inhabit.
