Hi Nuno.. is this Rotala vietnam or walichii? Very nice..!

How do you get the rotala so red nuno..!

Hc is a weed..! But to make it look good you do need good co2 and flow to disperse co2.. i see that lighting makes not much difference to its growth..

Thanks for the responses guys.. as a back up during dsm i had planted some patches of HC.. and that is the foreground now - Strange thing with hc is that it sits dormant for 2 weeks and then explodes.. Now pearls a lot - I had added Rotal sp H’ra Vietnam as a nitrate absorber, it...

Here’s another iphone pic -

Guys sorry for keeping this thread dead.. i am back.. lots of travel so tank went for a toss.. here are the recent pics Almost all UG melted away, few strands alive and kicking.. Will get this into shape soon..! ;)

Thanks zozo, steveno for your comments.. Very hectic with work and mold was destroying my UG. The conditions here in Singapore are too humid and mol propgates very easily. I flooded a week back, about 50% ug melted on me, some survived.. will post pics soon.. i am out on a vacation now.. :D

Hi Edvet.. dont think i can fix a fan.. but i have increased the air time.. thanks for the advice..

Thanks Steveno.. i did the following - 1) Remove affected plants and visible mold asap 2) Increased air time, cover is off now twice for 30-35 mins 3) Spraying with water mixed with Hyderogen Peroxide instead of plain water Will keep updates coming, i dont think i am out of danger territory...

Hi steveno.. Things seem to coming back on track after some damage.. Seeing some emersed growth and roots forming-

Guys need some urgent help here.. Mould / Fungal strike is spreading like wild fire.. I am airing and misting everyday, water level isnt too high.. what should i do? :(

Thanks @Cor..! :)

I stay in Singapore, so do not need a heater at all..! In fact most hobbyists here buy chillers to maintain a 24-26 degree celsius range.

Hi Steveno, i have used the following methods before to play with height in a scape, all work well - 1) Use stockings filled with lava rocks, sand or any other inert medium, top it up with amazonia 2) Use thermocol as the base, add a few heavy rocks on top and top it up with amazonia 3)...

I have used a mix of amazonia and amazonia New.. slightly more than a 9L bag..

Thanks @steveno I am keeping my fingers crossed on UG.. trying for the first time.. If anything goes wrong, i will try HC and belem hairgrass.. I added today some fissidens and mini xmas moss on some black lava rocks which were visible on the layout, i had used black lava rocks to bank...

Thanks @Keith GH It was a great advice.. i did play around with positioning of the two rocks at the back, also tried other rocks of smaller sizes.. compared pics, and you were right, the balance was way better with these same rocks pointing inwards..! :)

Wise advice.. i had to try UG, never tried before.. :) but i have read that DSM is the most reliable way to get it going.. will monitor closely..

Hi Guys.. Starting a journal for my iwagumi.. Here’s the hardscape : free ebay image hosting A long wait now that i have planted UG ( Utricularia Graminifolia), DSM for 6-8weeks to see how things turn out.. Planted pics - free ebay image hosting Will keep you updated on...

@Dantrasy Thanks..! Yes i do, its a jungle right now with a lot of shrimps.. planning to finalise a hardscape before i decomm..

Hi Keith.. Check these, cant seem to figure out Ukaps image uploader- https://image.ibb.co/bMwK3w/7_A3_C3_D8_B_4_D4_B_4_EED_ADC3_28_AF4152_D6_BF.jpg https://image.ibb.co/gqEiVb/30_EA4737_7_AC0_4_A05_AD58_E7_F20_DF9756_E.jpg...

Hi guys.. need your suggestions on this hardscape for a 60x30x24 tank- Top view- Looking forward for your suggestions..

Anyone?

Forgot to add.. it has 5 leaves per node :

Here is another one next to nanjenshan:

Hi guys.. Another request for plant id. I bought it from a shop here in Singapore and he has no clue what this is but confirmed this is a new plant. It looked like a thin variety of pogostemon erectus at first. Here are the pics when i bought them first : Its been a really slow plant to...

Ok.. i seemed to have solve my rotala issues, you guys have a look and tell me if there is anything wrong.. the walichii and rotundifolia which were a mess are now looking great.. so is najenshan.. Quick snaps from iphone so bad quality pics..

Thanks, Darrel! So it appears that its a ratio game where either Ca or Mg can be off.. and looking at plant behaviour to dose is the way to go.. curling tips indicate Ca deficiency? Pale growth indicates Ca surplus causing Fe blockage and dosing Mg helps? Seems odd so many hobbyists call...

Does increasing Mg ppm help in cases where rocks leach out Ca++ or the water is hard due to excess Ca? Also, 3 days of dosing iron and i see improvement in new leaves which are green and not pale, still not full though and look small in size. The old growth has not changed and I assume will not...

Does increasing Mg ppm help in cases where rocks leach out Ca++ or the water is hard due to excess Ca?

I had severely stunted tips of rotalas, and i have rocks in my scape.. assuming they leach out Ca++ i addedd Mg to 5ppm weekly and that has solved the stunting, certainly iron doesnt cause stunting..

Thanks.. i have started iron dosage with micros as well, will report progress if any.

In my case, dosing MgSO4 has certainly reduced the twisted tips of rotala but the new growth is extremely small in size! Thanks for the pics science fiction.. and you had Fe deficiency triggered by Ca abundance?

Blyxa jap after 3 days on planting turned pink with leaves melting away.. Specs: 1.5ft tank with co2 from reactor and plants pearl like crazy so i am sure co2 is not an issue Ferts : EI using dry salts ( kh2po4 and kno3) and a hydroponic mix of micros. I completely stopped micro dosing...

Just went through this thread and I am amazed. I hardly see pro's (like you viktor) sharing your techniques..! this is inspirational.. Can you please share what are the mosses you have used in this scape other than weeping?

Thanks Paulo.. this is my first attempt at a scape.. read more on iwagumi scpaes later on.. will try better in the future scapes..
