had a few problems after such a good start, mainly brown algae down to new setup and still waiting for a needle valve to turn up so fluctuating co2 levels. gave the tank a heavy prune and a clean so hope it will stay at bay. Hairgrass has grown in now, styro needs cutting back constanly and HC...
my styro looked dry through my whole DSM, (apart from after misting) tanks was steamed up all time and It was and is healthy and green.
you can see in this pic
nope was air tight with cling film, tank looked steamy and mositure on sides. misted it as and when i remembered few days at time. my styro had dry leaves. no idea wat temp or humidity was. as said hardly any effort went in, the plants are just top quality.
thanks, i would say its down to the quality of the plants tropica have come up with. to be honest i havent put much effort in the tank, planted it then left it covered misted it every few days and it grew. the s.repens went a bit leggy since flooding as i need a needle valve to sort the gas...
sorry just seen your reply, thanks for the kind words.
update, 1st trim has now completely carpeted :happy: in 6 weeks love this 1-2 grow. Its more like 1-2 rug put it in your tank and roll it out lol.

do you have a nutrient soil, I had a layer of amazonia powder under my flora base that I had left from before. completely covered the tank with cling film and sprayed it every few days. The room temp averaged 22 degrees and the light was on most of the day. Its completely carpeted now.
