Need to keep on top of trimming of the front plants so you don't lose that terracing effect
HI Averagewhiteblo good morning and many thanks for your strenght my friend,
Indeed that effect is the major key of this tank cause of initial layout.
I intend to trim the Hydrocotyle Tripartida to achieve that effect. Less in the front doing a vertical UP from down.
And clean all that La Plata Sand and put new one.
For now i upgrade a bit the lights maintaining the photoperiod time to see if i can achive more reds from Althernantheras and Rosanervigs. I feel this tank need a bit more contrast.
I also introduce "Pinnatifida". Never try this plant before so i´m expectation to see what comes from it.
(did a have a single runner of it a few weeks ago but i took it out. Now i bought a bunch of it)
In resume i´m also doing experimental things on this tank. This is the part that keeps me "alive" if you know what i mean
😉 Experiment and testing and put in my diary my results.
I´m trying something knew to fight a tiny tiny BBA that is always present in a part of the rocks in the left corner. Let´s see how it goes. I believe i´m in the right path to win the battle.. if suceed i´ll be back and tell you what i did.
Best regards.
