Re: James3200s 6.5x2x2' planted tank - UPDATE - 23/01/09
The discus are still doing well and are in QT, so tempted to get them in
Must be patient!
Been a few weeks since a last shot of the tank, since then I added a few extra pots of v.nana to help the layout out a bit as I don't want to be planting when the new ones are in there.
After my algae outbreak, of a green hair like algae, which has now not returned after a month or so, i trimmed the tenellus. This did not go as well as i thought and some of it started to die off and get fuzz like algae on it. I pulled out the effected bits and its looking good again. Thankfully its so dense you hardly notice I pulled them out
I also trimmed heavily the ferns and re arranged the plantlets and trimmed the largest of leaves, so hopefully in a few weeks it should be back to normal.
Also my only male bristlenose somehow got caught inside a koralia 1 pump, i got it out, but unfortunately it died the next day, have not got a clue how it got in there.
I have also now been using the halides again for the past week for 45mins which has speeded up growth and lights the tank up much better (hence the pearling), the last picture is of just using the T5s
And at the moment all the action is to the right of the tank
