Re: 10 Liter AquaEl - I have CO2!!
Right, I've had a right old hack back recently, as all that algae had damaged so much of the plants lower down and it looked really ugly. Almost all stems are gone, except for a tiny bit of Umbrosum back right, and a mix of all-sorts behind the rock. I'm waiting to see how that will look when it pokes over top - may axe that too.
I've taken the moss right back to the bottom, removing almost all of it that wasn't directly attached to the rock, in an effort to promote healthy growth.
The HC is still challenging me, but as you can see it is growing much better now. There are a lot of damaged leaves mixed in with the good new growth, and I'm slowly getting rid of it as the new stuff comes through. Slow, but definite progress!!
Meanwhile, the Mini M is still there, hardscape ready to go, but I can't touch it until I'm happy with this one and move the equipment over!! I've written it off for any competitions, but at least it could look half decent soon
You might also be able to tell I've had to lighten the rocks and moss in Photoshop, as it comes out very dark under flash, whereas the white sand blows easily.
Cheers,
Tom
