238l rescape, UPDATED 21st Oct

haha do it, I think planter did that a few years back!

I had the same issue with the moss initially it's diatoms and general cack waft you hand through it and get out as much as you can with a siphon, trim it all back hard. Daily I found using a pippette and spraying fresh (from the tap) water through the moss a few times really helped to clean out any debris.

that's the way.

Every water change I do, I siphon everything. I don't just empty the tank of water. I clean everywhere.

Update without pics at the moment due to upload cost on dongle.

Im not realy happy with the tank at moment, cant seem to nail growing large bushy stems at all. Think my ferts are dosed wrounge and my co2 levels just are not how they should be. Plus the light never ever seems to reach the back corners of the tank so i end up with strange empy areas.

Im happy ish with the area on the right but am not sure about the left hand side at all.

I reckon i need more manzi to get this scape were i want it. Ill post pics asap.

Keep the chin up mate, I'm sure you'll sort things in the end.......My Rotala is growing faster than I can keep up with but only after a good few weeks of doing nothing at all, then 2 good trims, so maybe a good trim and sit and wait.
