Been a while, and quite a bit has changed.
Biggest thing is that ick somehow got into the main tank a few months ago, and my immediate reaction was to raise the temperature, which turned out to be the worst thing I could've done. Several fish died and my Java ferns were all but destroyed. Thankfully I had medication that quickly eradicated it, but the damage from my poor judgement was already done...
The vallis are about the only plant actively thriving as you can see by it taking over everything. The rest are either gone or just barely existing.
Only new additions are bristlenose babies (evidently 3 have survived and are quite sizable now) and a random feeder guppy orphan I picked up from a store where they couldn't even tell what it was.
