Linxie's tank

Looking food Linxie.
Well done!!!

 

You hungry Darryn? lol j/k

Thanks guys

 

Linxie: What microbe-lift product did you add to your substrate?

Just saw my previous post. Finger trouble .... LOL

 

I'd have to find out the exact name from Henk. He had some spare for me

 

it was some of the CAPM - Concentrated Aquatic Planting Media... really good stuff! prevents your substrate from going anaerobic

 

Thanks Henk ^^,

 

always a plesure

 

Update as of last night


Have trimmed two of the plants last week, and they need more trimming already. Me likes.

You'll see the plants on the left are growing towards the glass... that's where the sunlight comes in. Should have my new lights soon (hoping to get them this weekend)

Also going to try the DIY co2 method as I've run out of flourish excel.

See Gourami's bubble nest top left hand corner. Yis but he is one naughty gourami. Thinks he can uproot plants and use them for his nest. pssssh.

 

Nice Linxie

When you trim again... Please let me know as I need some more plants :sad2:

 

Will do Ace

Update:

Recently bought new lights for the tank and have gone the DIY Co2 route.
I accidentally bought Seachem Flourish when I was meant to buy Flourish Excel... nana are I. Anyway, the Co2 seems to be working nicely. Decided to start off with one bottle then move on to two... just in case things go wrong.

Found a few new plants at the LFS as well. My advice to you... go to the LFS on a Thursday or Friday. The good stock should still be there (before it gets sold out on Saturday)

Apologies for it seeming skew ush: I took it at an angle.



Plants seem to be growing well and the fish seem to love their new habitat. Introduced an internal filter to the tank, as the hob filter dies every now 'n then, and it produces a nice flow which the fish love. They're constantly playing where the current is.

Probably going to do a small change once the middle plants have grown out a bit. Want to put them behind the wood, but don't want to block the light out.

Ooooh, it's pouring outside :smile1:

 

tank is looking awesome!! very natural look.
care to list the names of the plants? never mind, just saw your profile

 

Very nice Tank there Linxie.
