The glosso is almost carpeted now, i am planning to give a few areas a slight trim to keep plants in the places i want it only. Probably tackle that one night this week. The fissidens on the main branch has responded well to the trim i gave it ten days ago, and is growing back well and thicker.
They keep such a tight formation when being photographed.
there must be something new for you almost everyday,oh and digging the gouramis 
I love the Staurogyne pokingout on from behind the rock on the left side.Yeah the divide in the substrate has really disappeared now, the glosso is hiding it well.bogwood said:Maturing nicely.
The use of the two different substrats is not really noticeable, the view is looking very natural. Are your emerald eyes real or just well trained
Yes the growth is stunning, things change all the time albeit it keeps me on my toes i am forever pruning etc .The fissidens is growing really well at the moment. Londondragon suggested give it a good prune and its worked very well indeed. The gouramis are cool 8)tel said:Great stuff Andy, it is quite an amazing transformation in such a short period.
cheers
Cheers Paulo!LondonDragon said:Impressive Andy, shame my glosso is not growing, just keeps heading for the skies and not carpeting
So have you not got enough light? Mine is staying fairly low, i am running to 2 x 24w on this 60l.Cheers Steve, thanks for your kind comments. Well spotted, there are few pieces of staurogyne around the tankSteveUK said:Really looking great Andy
I don't think its light mate, I am running my tank with 6x24W at the moment, think it was the CO2, but the new inline diffuser is really working a treat and I am now able to crank it up without making annoying squeaking noises like the previous one did. Just gave it a nice trim tonight to keep it low and will see how it goes, also increased the CO2 a little.andyh said:Cheers Paulo!
Cheers Vito, running it 1.7-1.8, didnt work with my jbl set at 1.5bar, easy to adjust though.Vito said:
mine dont croakNeilW said:
isnt that frogs? Thanks Dude, the up atomizer is wicked, not cleaned it yet been running since nov 09, i will let you know once o have done it. Running them on both my tanks and the results speak for themselves.stuworrall said:

The up atomizers are good mate, silent and the mist they produce is so fine compared to typical diffusers. Good luck with the Glosso, i am lucky its growing like wildfire

Cheers, make sure you keep on top of it and don't let it create too many layers, once the layers get to thick the bottom start melting and then it looses grip on the substrate.andyh said:Good luck with the Glosso, i am lucky its growing like wildfire
I had some a few years back and it freaked me out when they first started doing it! Typically it was at night when I was lying in bed Once I figured out what it was, it was kinda cool
SteveUK said:It's sparkling gouramis that croak
With those kinda sounds it would be like living in a rainforest 
It looks awesome after such a short time - depresses me slightly, looking at mine Excellent Advice, will keep an eye on it. What happens when i cut a piece is it like a stem plant? i.e two shoots appear?LondonDragon said:Cheers, make sure you keep on top of it and don't let it create too many layers, once the layers get to thick the bottom start melting and then it looses grip on the substrate.andyh said:Good luck with the Glosso, i am lucky its growing like wildfire
You learn something new every day!SteveUK said:It's sparkling gouramis that croak
Thanks Jase, i am really pleased the growth it comes from lots of attention and a high energy setup. Its also got some fast growing plants in there which help!Jase said:You've had great growth Andy
The substrate transition has gone now that you have the growth, it looks natural now
How often are you doing a WC?
You hot it, you will get one or two runners coming out of itandyh said:
so the more you trim the more it grows haha fun!
