Day 29 (2014.01.13)

Nothing special and all plants are growing very well...It seems that Lilaeopsis and Ranunculus are spreading very well. Mosses and Anubias are growing at their own pace. Pinnatifida have some really nice leafs. It's very beautiful! I think that will have a strong presence on this layout when it spreads thru the rocks.

Update from today (2013.01.15): Found some algae: Staghorn; found only two pieces of BBA

; some rocks turning green (usual!); and the usual Diatoms.

Precautions: added a pump ( unfortunatly due to Didiplis Diandra); added just a little bit of CO2; will see if i will do something different with fertilization (Tropica for now).

So nothing special with 4 weeks. Let's see the next 2 weeks.

I always liked the hardscape and it's looking better with each update!

Day 42

Some green stones (at the middle - more light) but all is well. I never cleaned the stones
I raised CO2 one week ago and raised ferts today. Now with 25 ml Tropic fert (macros) and 22 ml (micros) (both 3 days/week).

Mosses are growing where they should grow. Riccardia is the slower

At the back i can't see Aquasoil anymore with the exception where Didiplis Diandra is. But i think that it liked more CO2 in the last week.
Lots of pearling (doesn't tell much but it's a good sign).

I think you should rename it 'The Lost World' Those cliffs of rock are stunning

 

[Pedro Rosa]

Thanks guys.

In English "Forsaken" means more or less the same as "Lost" or "Forgotten", no? British people, some help

'The lost world' was a novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It has also been made into film. If you haven't heard of it, it was about an expedition to a plateau in the Amazon basin where prehistoric animals still survived.

You are correct Pedro, that is as defined in the English dictionary as abandoned or deserted.

Hi Pedro, this is stunning and when it grows in even more so.

I actually quite like the small patches of algae on the rocks as it gives it a very natural and aged feel. Great journal too.

I agree, and it lends itself to the name/theme

Of course i know. And now I remember that someone in a portuguese forum also said something like that. Thanks

Yes, it's gives an aged feeling, but it's a little too much for me

Pedro, what have you used as the background? Is it just window film?
