Thanks James.
Think the BBA has finally run its course near all gone now. Think it was a combination of a immature tank and me adding to much urea in the ferts. Now I have the ferts balance right things are getting better.
Gave it a good trim. Pics from today.

Thanks cookies.
Maintenance today. Trimmed the Glosso. Trimmed the hygro down and pinched the growing tips out the smaller plants hopefully will keep it smaller.
Trimmed the H Japan right back. Put a few sprigs of this on top of the wood a couple of weeks ago. See pic.
The Buces have started to flower. Added a little Bolbitis to the wood in the centre. Pics from today.

Not a lot happening really. Did a water change and trim today.
Really like the way the colours are coming out in the Buces now.

Thankyou
.I think the RGB helps bring the colours out.
But I also dose micros daily first thing in the morning and macros daily at lights on.
Since I had the BBA issues I have also dosed 5ml of liquid carbon daily as well as the gas. I think this seems to bring the Buces along better too. Maybe it helps break the celators down in the micros making them more available to the plants? Don't know really. But they have defenantly come along better since I have been adding the liquid carbon

What I love about this tank is that it looks like it "just grew that way"
It's like a lucious, joyful wilderness.
Gorgeous!

Thank you Petra..
Did the usual maintenance today trimmed the stems and glossy right back then decided to remove the Hygro altogether thought while I at it I will remove the H Japan too as they where growing to wild. Got some landscape rock and the hammer and bolster and added some rockwork to the scape where the H japan was. The buces arnt in thier final position yet just wedged them into the cracks in the rocks for now. Will finalise their positions in the week.
Just needs to grow in a bit now.

Been a while. So bit of a update.
Due to lack of trimming the Bylxa got so dense it detached from the substrate and floated to the surface. So replaced it with some crypts.
Bit of Algae here and there mainly on the rocks. But overall pleased with the way the tank is going.Need to cean the lilly pipes and diffuser when i do the water change tomorrow.

Thank you.
No Idea about the Blyxa to be honest first time I've grown it and wasn't to sure about how to trim it. So I left it till it was to late. When I tried replanting it it just didn't seem to want to root again I have replanted some small portions in front of the crypts seems to be holding for now.
Prob like you say pinching out the Growing tips would keep it in check.
