7 months later. Sorry for the delay. Full on work load for he last four months. Neglected the tank, but it has done well. I had planted Cuba and initially it grew well. I feared too much light in the tank because of black hair algae. Raised the lights for a month, and got rid of algae but...

Yes, I'm doing it daily, then I plan on stitching them together, to get a better feel for growth. And I will add other plants soon, and animate the planting as well. This is the 29th. Added a spot light in the end, and messed with the grade. Also did a water change first off. Since the tank is...

Realised yesterday, that I could easily set up a time lapse in the shed where the tank is, because the computer is also there. Set up the camera to tether to the computer, and it is easy to document without a card. Curious to see different growth rates and if anything goes south, it would be...

Water cleared and here are some images of the tank... I would like to add these... Pogostemon erectus Eleocharis sp Alternanthera reineckii . Roseafolia Rotala macrandra Ludwigia repens 'Rubin' Monosolenium tenerum Hopefully it will look like this... Sent

Yesterday I pulled the plants from the smaller tank and placed them in the new tank. I also took the java moss that was attached to a dead bonsai trunk, and anchored it on the ground of the new tank. Some riccia has established itself in the java moss, so it makes a nice ground covering for the...

Two months later, and I finally have gotten back to this tank. It seemed every day another procrastic idea kept me busy. I have toyed with building a sump... building architectural elements for placement in the tank... Or selling the tank altogether. But it dawned on me today that I have...

Today I managed to get the filter up and running, and tested out the circulation... Looks good. Now I just need to sort out the substrate.

Sorry for the absence. Tax time left me a bit skint, and with lots of time to rethink things. Initially I had a landscape planned. Built something with an experiment using styrofoam as a filler. I Siliconed the styro together, carved a landscape, then siliconed it to the floor of the tank...

I ran across this image... How difficult would it be to sustain a level of algae without swinging one way or the other? R Sent

Yea I found that guy on practical fish keeping... Not quite what I am thinking... But interesting. I pulled the castings from the mould today... Has been a while since I have done any casting. Did not use enough release, so had to chip a bit of the cast in order to get it out. Thought about...

Built the molds and cast the two culvert elements. Going out tonight. Hopefully, I'll crack it open tomorrow morning. R Sent

I cut the back corner so I could make a pull out drawer for the eheim 2217. May be a while though. R Sent

Today I started on a new tank. After Christmas holidays I came home, and found that my spraybar had done great job of watering the carpet. One rug doctor and dehumidifier later, room is back to normal. But I see this as an opportunity for change. Broke down previous tank and sold it on eBay...

Lots has changed. Obviously black BG Introduced a few new plants. Put in an internal filter just running polishing material. I clean it weekly with water change on Sunday. Started dosing salts. Been having problems with co2, Finding the right level. Crap needle valve is hard to regulate. Fish...

Last night I realised that most of what I thought was algae, Was actually soil settling on my plants... Thank you loaches. So question about the soil substrate coming up. I added a bit more gravel in the places where the rooting is going on. But once the roots develop. Will the soil compact...

I used a hydroponic organic soil substrate (washed) with part tesco kitty litter, then caped it with black gravel. That is all I really know... It was a brand that was mentioned on a walstad soil site. I'd have to look when I get home. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

So, I am just curious of how long the cycle will go on...? I am doing 40% water change every other day. Seems to keep the bloom back. But my swords and Cuba plants don't seem to want to take root and grow. I am dosing every day with carbon. I was planning on using co2 on a reactor. Should I...

New here... Cheers for all the information I have gotten quietly from this site. This August I moved from a aqua one 320 to a 110l tank. Brand new on eBay for £50. (Pick up only) Came with two fake rock arches. I bought a eheim 2213 loaded it with ehiem mech and substrate pro. Ran it for two...
