Ian's nano cube

ianho said:
hey Sarah, the plant is Glosso, not HC. The fert regime is 1ml TPN+, 1ml Easycarbo, ADA K one pump.


not forgetting the daily 50% water change at the moment.

Ah, sorry, for some reason I was convinced it was HC - spot the newbie! :lol: Though I thought Glosso was even harder than HC - respect!

Looking sweet mate.

I can vouch for glosso (and HC) growing well with liquid carbon (non CO2 gas), providing all other parameters are ok.

Yes, I suspect that "providing all other parameters are ok" is probably going to be the tricky bit for me. :rolleyes: Still, nothing ventured, nothing gained, and I'm learning loads from everyone here at UKAPS.

cheers George, as George states, i can also vouch for no gas and HC. I also failed with Hc lately 'with' gas, so It's best IME to just give it a try.

I look forward to seeing this progress and then I'm going to show the pics to the mrs I may get the nod of approval then for me to be able to get one.

Looking great, I think I need to get some gloss for my tank!

Just remember that a little to much of anything at the begining never goes a miss. Keep the daily water change up for a couple of weeks, i bet you'll win.
 
was going to order some from tgm but the last thing i need is more ph buffering :(
 
@ Darren, i don't test my Ph, but i know it comes out of the tap at around 7.5 - 8 and is hard as nails at about GH 26 the shrimp are doing well, we have a preggers cherry. We have great water to keep malawi Cichlids in!

@ Mitchell, thanks for the comment!
 
Damn, even the tiles behind it work !!! Give it a sunrise look. Ian, can you walk on water too ? ;)
 
3 week update...

Everything is doing well, still a little slow (maybe i'm being a little impatient!), there are shrimplets now. So i'm being careful not to suck em out when doing a water change. The Glosso is staying really small as well. The Riccia is going great guns. I have added another riccia stone to the front of the main stone.

Looking great Ian. Love the shrimp. Looks like a top quality one ? Is that samoa sand ?
 
Its got a nice natural look to it :) I have Samoa in mine, and am very pleased with it now. I just finished 5 hours of drying off the florabase I pulled out of my tank !!!
