Re: Saintly's 'savannah dreaming' @ 4 weeks

really good for a novice like myself to see how you trim your stems.cheers :D .
do you trim more shape into them after or leave them like that.

cheers mate. I'm aiming for a different look to these stems. not wanting the 'Dutch' type of look, but more like amano does....kind leggy stems. it may not work though.

if you wanted shape as the stems thicken, you can then create shape later on.

currently though, after just the second trim, I'm looking density. :thumbup:

thanks for looking Nelson

Nice video Mark. Those curved blade trimmers were perfect for that job.

At night?

yes mate, at night. After lights go off for the whole night until morning, then lower the head down.

It's all about routine. day in day out, do the same things everyday at the same times. It's the only thing in my life i have a routine with, everything else is just chaos!

what does it achieve riseing the pwerhead up so high at night? Is that to get rid of excess co2?

Amano does it, so i thought i'd copy :lol: it just adds o2 of a night time. I've done it for some time now and my tank seems to thanks me for it.

hope you still have the energy to keep this tank for a while. :thumbup:

i do mate.The crypts and stems still have a long way to go, and the vallis is now showing pretty good in the back. in fact the vallis was such a slow starter, but is doing great guns now.

i'm planning the next one in my head though :D
