Glad you're still out there...The tank sounds like a microcosm of life in itself...looking forward to the pics.
Hey Troi,... I am so sorry for the sudden long silence,... Things had been kind of busy lately with family & work taking precedence over other matters. The tank's coming along so nicely,....& so slowly . Not that I am complaining,...I love this pace. I finally get to enjoy the fishes & the shrimps. It has that slightly more matured look now,...though I think it's still at its "toddler" stage of life. I feel like I want to keep this little tank running forever.
It's so easy to manage. The shrimps have given off several new off springs. They still amaze me at how good they are when they suddenly go into hiding,...all at once. Then suddenly there they are scooting all about the tank . It's such a joy to watch them. Cute little fellas they are. I am so hooked onto low tech Troi. Promise to load up some pics soon.
The scape looks pretty much the same ,....the plants seem to have grown a bit bigger though,..and it looks lovely
Take care
Glad you're still out there...The tank sounds like a microcosm of life in itself...looking forward to the pics.
Nothing stopping you running it forever mate like you want to. It will be great to see how looks through its stages
I have been so inspired by this journal; your 'scape is superb Faizal, well done. Your hard work and disappointment in the very early stages were similar to things I tried out. Your style is unique on our site, you have a very good eye, and I am so glad you get so much pleasure from your hobby, you have certainly earned it, judging from your earliest posts.
Congratulations from Bill.
Cheers mate ,.....thank you so much. It means a lot reading what you've typed down there. I hope you will get to enjoy a wonderful journey into non co2 tanks just as I have. Feel free to ask anything mate,....so many guys here who are artists in planted tank here. They take pride in helping anyone who is willing to listen & learn. Wishing you all the best into low tech adventureThis is the tank that has inspired me to get mine up and running low tech. I looks great. I must have read and re-read your journal a few times now!
Tim,..i am so sorry mate,...thought I had replied to this.It's good to be back. Looking forward to catching up with all your tanks in the next few days. I hope things are well with you & here's hoping you've enjoyed the progress of this tank as much as I have.C'mon Faizal, give us an updated pic, good to see your still about mate
I am not really sure Al,...you've got a good point though. I am at work right now. I will go home and check up on it later tonight. I don't think there is much flow in that area. The water flow from the HOB filter is hitting the central front glass area ,...& reverting back ,...so i don't think there would be much of a flow where the mini ferns are placed.You might have just solved the problem there for me. I might move it to another area where there's good flow & leave it there for 3 weeks to see if it makes any difference. Good one Al,..cheers.Faizal whats the flow like near the mini fern???ive just finished stripping out the last of my plants and noticed out of all the ferns I had, the ones that had a steady gentle flow over them were really lush compared to the others
Hey Faizal thanks for the photos...and not before time I might add Hope your home has dried out.
Cheers Troi. Awfully kind of you mate. I will make sure to do just that from now on,..The tank is looking amazing, we've missed your contribution recently...I think you should make time for us in your diary from now on
