Afternoon all, no post since Thursday as I went to Spain for a few, her indoors kept up tank maintenance and w/c like a hero
So day 11.
Just done a big w/c and cleaned up all over.
Plant growth is insane over a few days! Filling out and looking so healthy, Moss has doubled in size! Shall post a photo now but the main one will be tonight with darkness and co2 off. Hope your all well!
Amano on Friday wooohoo!
Matt.
Excuse the reflections!
Also added the tank name.
Resurrection.
Basically I like to see it as a dead old tree root that has new life( another tree) growing out from the root almost resurrecting itself.

Update!
Evening all! Hope your all well!
So I did a water test today before my water change, past one was on Tuesday morning as I'm on 1 per 2 days now.
Basically everything was 0 and the PH was 6.0-6.4 but closer to 6. (co2 on) will check it before I go to work in the morning to see what it is when it's off.
Everything in the tank is doing amazingly, the Moss is literally doubling in size!
Pick up the 20 amano tomorrow for £50! £2.50 each, bargain!
So more photos tomorrow of our little friends.
Cheers,
Matt.

Evening! Here we are!
The tds 30 miles from my house where I got the amano's from was nearly 500!
So it took a while to drip feed water to get it down to 100!
Day 14! And a nice amano being king or Queen of the castle on the right!
Also got another nice piece of red wood... And a tds pen
Going to get some phoenix Moss and pelia of a good friend that has helped me tons in this scape with information!
Also got some juggernata on the cards as well
Much love!
Matt.

Looking good Matt,
Keep a grip on that moss though, keep trimming it back every chance you can so that it grows laterally along the wood, nice and thick and bushy as opposed to fine and stringy..
Amano shrimp for £2.50 each, what's the name of your TFS again...
Steve
ps have you thought about using a UP inline Co2 diffuser instead of the one your using inside the tank...I think they are brilliant and it takes one more bit of kit out of your tank...

Steve

Cheers Steve!
I'm so glad you said that, I wasn't sure how to attack it really! Shall plant up some of the Moss again
It's called Wharf Aquatics just off jnct 28 on the m1 at a place called Pinxton.
They stock a lot of oddballs and if they don't have it they order it in for you. Also make amazing tanks, pond, reef, reptile the lot!
Injected some pure oxygen in the bags for you as well just to help the fish along the journey.
Just had a look at the up in line Diffuser, look rather good to be fair. Might have to look into it! Would mean I could get some tall plants up that side of the tank without messing with the co2 distribution!
Cheers mate.

Matt,
If you type Co2 diffuser into the search bar at the top you will find several threads on these and some pictures...well worth it. I bought mine off Ebay for about £16.00...it really atomises the Co2 into a fine mist and spreads it out more evenly..

Steve.

So I cut all the Moss Back and damn there was a lot there!! Really attached itself to the tree though.
So I put it all on my new piece and tried to make it look as naturally fallen as possible.
Shall be moving the bonsai tomorrow so it's not losing out on too much light!
Day 18
Let me know what you think!
Just adds another bit of hardscape and helps the bogwood not look like such a lump!
Cheers,
Matt.
Day 19
Day 20, monte carlo is suffering. Think it might be co2 but we shall see.
