Thanks! ;)

I have to cut stem plant often, every two weeks. Other plants don't grow so fast. ;)

Enjoy wataching :headphone:



 
Day 220. Time to update. : wink: Aquarium lives from pruning to pruning. :Wink:

The big problem is the moss that grows into anubias, it's hard to control it. : roll: I didn't plan to plan it initially. It has grown from several branches attached to other plants or laws. Regarding algae, from time to time the leaves of anubias are attacked by black beard algae and green spot algae. The fight continues as always.

In general, the cube is a decoration of my flat. Due to the small size of tanks, it doesn't require a lot of work.

Thanks for comments ;).

Update: D
Black beard algae and green spot algae after reducing the amount of fertilizer and applying carbo are in the back. Unfortunately, the "feral" Monte Carlo has already suffered a bit. I hope it will recover. After the next pruning Hydrocotyle sp japan and Rotala, grow best of course, :).

The tank slowly prepares for liquidation. At last, time for something bigger, namely 45L. : Wink:

Bonus (I wonder if it will be seen here :))

If not, I invite you to my profile on Instagram (the info about my arrangements gets there soon):

At 45L I will be able to let some fish in. I miss a lot of movement in the tank.
In an 16L, I can arrange some kind of wabi kusa. I have to keep Anubias somewhere. o_O

Thanks for comment. :) I sent photo of this aquarium on IAPLC 2018. Paradoxically, the arrangement took quite a high place. Rank 977. A total of 1977 entries from 68 countries.

Aquarium was liquidated one week ago. I am preparing the new project. I hope I show you photo in near future.
