Looking great man, you finding the DSM effective? Are you seeing the difference in growth between the HG on the bottom and the HG in the top right corner? I assume this needs a lot more spraying as its not in contact with the base water?

Cheers! Jack :)
 
thanks jack yeah the bottom grass is a lot longer, i am hoping it spreads a lot once flooded, you can now see roots in the substrate so know its runners are doing ok, nothing to compare to mate as first aquarium but been good for me as reg not arrived and least ot the runners going , shuld arrive this week so will be posting some questions about how i go about flooding etc

Thanks Dean
 
thanks guys, what you recon plain black background ? were would i get this from

Thanks dean
 
Yeah second the plain background, check out ebay for some white window vinyl or something similar. Also you will find hairgrass spreads a lot faster when you aggressively cut it back, you should cut it to 1-2cm and watch it send out runners and connect to make a carpet. Only thing is I have never tried this whilst using DSM, but if you leave hairgrass long it has a tendency to just grow up.
 
I personally can't grow the stuff quick enough, it's such a slow growth plant and I'm dosing Fertz and LC daily. I see it more as decorative plant around rocks etc to break up visual imbalances. I'm not sure how long it take to carpet in a pressurised co2 tank though.

yeah man why not.. usually I would say frosted white but for this im feeling a black film background dean :) black will really highlight the light greys in the stone too :)
 
We're would u purchase black film background ? eBay ? Don't wanna paint my new ADA incase ever want to move location etc, you recommend trimming again ?
