4ft- clear

he he .. thanks - actually just paged back in the thread - two months to get to this point - but I do need to rescue the java ferns ... clearly they do not grow that fast as the rest of the stems.

I need to clean glass etc .. might do a short 2 minute video at some point.

eish ... need to climb in and do a trim .. bit of OD on the lenolax - crazy growth.

 

Looking grate!!!
It would be nice if you could get some red in there.

I'm not a plant expert, so could you please tell me what that huge plant at the right back with the curled/ruffled leafs is.

 

Wow,nice. The plant on the left, very thin leaves , like rotale, whats the name? mine dissapeared, when i go co2 i will have to get them, some great plants you have

 

Nicolaas, I think I have an aponogeton crispus in the mix, not sure that is what you are seeing ..

Marius - when you have all up and running, drop me an IM might just coincide with a trim... think I have some rotale in the mix.

 

Sweet, I might be running by Saterday, if I can get ada by Vryday, but doubt that

 

1 st on the list for a trim ...

 

Looks stunning man! That blyxa is growing well!

 

Bit heavy handed - next round will be replanting more of the stems. Yeah the blyxa actually did ok, I could divide and move them around a bit.



Still need to salvage the floaters..

 

nice growth in the last while ... added some OC+ tabs - last of the batch I made a while back with the gel caps - got a 100 more to fill might do that tonight.





BBA is starting to take a beating ... will let it sit a while longer.

I believe so, could you also tell me what that grown covering plant with the small leafs is

 

May I ask, what is OC+ tabs ?

 

It is Osmocote Plus a slow release NPK mix that you buy from nurseries

 

So some sort of fert.....thanks HV

 

Here you go ..

DIY root tabs

 

Thanks Ferdie

 

Ferdie, try increase the co2. I'm almost certain that will help your glosso carpet more evenly.

Thanks Sean, Sounds like a plan ... I have been hacking at the glosso want to replant it all in a few weeks time - taking a big strip out the front does not help for appearance.

 

This tanks has not seen any serious maintenance for a looooong while.



Also did my first eheim clean-out, what a pleasure.



BIG wc, but did not even try and vacuum the substrate.



Contemplating moving the middle stump to the left side of the tank and dropping some of the stems.

Will see what it looks like after a bit of a run, still need to clear some cuttings from the surface. Think I will need to do more regular fertz or add a good amount of root tabs.
