Latest pics 4th October

Update from 28th september.

Sorry i have not updated this, i have got some recent pics but to be honest they don't do it justice as i have been slowly removing plants ready for rescape this weekend, to be honest nothing much had changed other than crypts are all tall and thick and bylxa is halfway up the tank, damn it...

As it was my first real attempt and didn't know how the plants would do, and getting co2 right has been a nightmare especially after i found a leak the other day which hasn't helped now fighting to get rid of algae but hay its all part of learning curve, i have decided to leave it alone for a...

its rooted in well and showing good signs of recovery crypts are doing extremely well, as is the stellata which pleased me as i was told if conditions aren't right it just stops so very pleased so far. I do have a few ideas which might be done soon..

Just a little update decided to take out the central peice of wood ad replace it with a smaller piece, i think it was supercoley that noticed it stood out, i am also thinking of adding some more crypts, I have bought 24 harlequins which were added monday, and i have bought another 12 in...

Re: My 1st Journal It is other side of wall behind tank in porch/hallway out of harms way, its a tall bottle so with reg fitted and to side of tank i could see top of bottle which ruined view of tank, will take pic tomo.

Re: My 1st Journal A lot of time went into making sure i built the cabinet to incorporate everything except co2 bottle, so i would have easy access for maintenance etc

Re: My 1st Journal Reactor is working great thanks Ed, 3bps and i have a nice yellow drop checker and everythink is pearling nicely.
