Wow everything growing so nicely. So vibrant. Your HC has really taken off, it's so green. Is it too early to call dibs on a piece of it? XD. Can't wait to see the next update.

Re: New planted tank journal!

I got you in mind!

I don't have a problem handing out trimmings etc. But I think mzungu is ahead of you and I have a friend that might want some but watch out for some threads in the market section.

 From the looks of it, though, we won't have to wait very long!

Re: New planted tank journal!

Hahahaha, I have really satisfied with the growth rate of everything in the tank! I have only been dosing ferts for a week and it's past time to trim the R.Rotundifolia,R.sp.Green, and R.Colorata!

Re: New planted tank journal!



Which one is the R. colorata? There are a lot of conflicting pictures on the web.

Re: New planted tank journal!

from left to right, tall stems that are towering the others. R.sp.grenn, R.Rotundifolia, and to the far right next to the acurata is the R.colorata.

it is suppose to be a red/purple color but I think my nitrates are too high due to a huge cycle it went through.

Nice job! I see you have some downoi that survived, that's great!  

[eklikewhoa]

Re: New planted tank journal!

yeah, I had like two stems survive the excel overdose and they have both made a comeback from nothing!

maybe after I decide where everything is going I will get some more. I'm guessing none made it on your end?

Re: New planted tank journal!

No...if a plant is showing ANY signs of weakness, the snails just pounce, and it's as good as gone.  :(

Re: New planted tank journal!

That sucks MB.....



Well on a lighter note I got my rock caves from cichlidbreeding.com for my apisto's that double as some rockscape in my tank...

[Mzungu]

Re: New planted tank journal!

Oh, wow! Those are caves?! Neat looking! Are they synthetic, or actual rocks?

[eklikewhoa]

Re: New planted tank journal!

Yeah they are caves. They are made of ceramic I believe.
