Just a few pics of the tropical plants further down below.
The antherium lily was flowering up to a week ago. I had to chop it a bit because it has taller stems coming out of the pot and it started tilting, nearly falling forward.
The Peace Lily started flowering now. Wish they both did it at the same time as I would have had cooler pictures
I potted a spider plant just recently but it's still tiny not worthy of pictures.
These plants are blocking a lot of light and I am afraid even if I fix the third light strip I won't have enough going into the tank below. Many of my plants already died during the no light crisis. Symptoms were browning, melting and eventually dying or reducing to a stump in the substrate.
This is a list what survived and what not but almost all survivors are just a few dwarfed leaves.
Plants:
Echinodorus Parviflorus-
almost unaffected
Echinodorus Rosé-
a few thin dwarfed leaves still there
Echinodorus amazonicus-
I had 3 massive ones, they melted almost completely but are still hanging on to live with a few leaves on.
Echinodorus gabrielii-
not sure it's there. There's a stump of something that looks like sword but no leaves
Echinodorus cordifolius (E. radicans)-
same as the previous, might be there but no leaves
Vallisneria spiralis(straight vallis)-
most of it melted and died. I had lots overtaking the tank and some is hanging in there although in extremely bad shape.
Cryptocoryne beckettii "Pink"-
suffered a few yellow leaves and stopped growing but it's almost fine.
Hygrophila pinnatifida-
Nuphar japonica-
Nymphaea lotus var. rubra-
Bacopa australis
(a couple of extremely suffering stems left maybe but I have it in another tank)
Aponogeton crispus-
(one bulb with a couple of leaves still living but in extremely bad shape melting all the time, this one needs a lot of light to grow nice and big leaves as I noticed even before because I had two bulbs, the shaded one never did well)
Aponogeton 2nd type
(can't remember it's name but it's the one with very narrow hard leaves that no fish can eat) living with a couple of leaves
Shinnersia rivularis(Mexican Oak Leaf)-
Ludwigia palustris x repens (L. mullertii)
one stem left!
Taxiphyllum species "Spiky"-
living but suffered a lot
Anubias barteri var. barteri-
living unaffected
Microsorum pteropus ''Narrow''-
almost unaffected
Tropicals:
Peace lily flower, still closed...
Palm plant, can't remember the proper name.
