Used google translation, sorry if it does not Think like me...
Just when you start to get really hot in the clothes, or rather when the clothes come off and the sea is warm enough to take a bath, and the tan pigments turn HOT RED character, and permafrost in the marrow has released, well then it must be hauled on all sail homebound, with a new interesting working year shall commence. How nice then ... nooo! Meanwhile, we meet everyone else heading out to this year's holiday and sailing .... Fun! Right?; But that is reminiscent of how the aquarium stands up there in the living room next afternoon sun's impact ...
The aquarium has been unattended for a month now since midsommer, only the water is filled up a few times. Would surely be hefty hunger / malnutrition in rapidly growing plants ...
Once home, I must say that the tub looks good, without my own influences. The lighting had been reduced to 8 hours and co2 level is set lower so as not to deplete the plants all the nutrients as soon as they turn their back. The temperature has certainly been on top when it gets pretty hot indoors on a sunny day.
Nothing extra NPK or Micro has been given in the meantime which would have got the tub to crash on the light and co2 was set as high as before the holiday. But on the other hand, I have had a feeder that has given a cup flake food during the time which of course gives some NPK mm.
What's really interesting is that the glas is almost completely free of algea and plants too. It has paid off not to squeeze the tank equally hard with both light and co2 which requires more track of the algae / nutrient level clean.
Some plants have done well others have gone back, and some have grown on themselves really well. But overall it has gone better than expected.
All right? no total scapeover needed immediately after a total algatack, skööönt! Now expected a period that might provide inspiration for a new scape and perhaps a contribution to a first race with the tank later this winter ...
