Pruning

I have had to do some pruning of the Vallis, as it was starting to cover most of the top of the tank, causing the main source of light to be blocked out. Some of the leaves that were removed were longer than the length of the tank. I was amazed at how few leaves you had to remove to suddenly see a difference.

The other problem is that there are so many leaves in the way that when it comes to feeding, a lot of food gets trapped on top of the leaves, preventing the fish from getting to it. As I also want to setup the automatic feeder this week, I did not want the food getting stuck there.
