Murky Redux

The feeding corner! Greediest fish I've ever had.

 

[Kezzab]

Not quite 3 months into this scape and it's hitting the "where's the hardscape?" stage. The tripartita is making a concerted effort to take over the tank.

 

[Kezzab]

Big trim today to try and get it under control. Removed some moss to make some space. Tripartita is a bit over the top dominant. I'll maybe thin that harder next week.

It’s a wonderful meadow of tripartita! Especially when juxtaposed with a darker green. The Rotala’s in the back right side do deserve more exposure if I may suggest.

 

[Kezzab]

You are probably right about the rotala. I need to remove all the moss that obscures it, but it's so lush and green...

Hi,

Awesome scape!

Could you tell me what this plant is ?

Thanks,
Matt

 

[Kezzab]

Hi Matt,

Its heteranthera zosterifolia, regularly trimmed to.keep it short.

Another trim, took the plunge and removed all the moss from the right hand side to try and open up the view a bit. Feels better I think.

Current state of play...

The tank continues to evolve. So much java fern now.

That looks fantastic.

Absolutely stunning. One of the most healthy looking tanks I've ever seen.

 

[Kezzab]

Wow, thank you.

I must confess, there is a bit of BBA which I'm working at. Result of gas running out while on 3 week holiday...

 

[Kezzab]

I'm reaching a point of severe overgrowth and starting to get BBA on buces and anubias, plants pressing against the front glass. Major trim or even rescape might be needed...

 

[Myrtle]

Nah, just get a bigger tank!

 

[Kezzab]

Latest. Not much fish room...

It's me that needs that!

This is one of my favourite aspects of the tank at the moment. This crypt is basically growing like a epiphyte, half above the water line.
