Not much doing...still trying to get light right as I have a dusting of green algae on the substrate. Pulled the lily out on the left side as the flow either tied it in knots or pulled the leaves under. Not really liking the island on the left side and thinking about sliding it over to the right.
Flow from the eheim is now coming out one outlet which is a spray bar on the right hand side. Believe it or not, this creates ample circular flow and my crypt balansae flows in the right direction.
I added a beautiful floating plant the name of which I now can't remember. Asian water grass or something like that. It has beautiful roots. The lily on the right has 3 leaves on the surface. Eventually I'll take out the salvina natans. New fish added recently have been 9 corydoras habrosus and chocolate loach
.
I have to mention the nightmare of yesterday when I was netting out my male betta simplex from the 80x60x40 tank. He is holding fry so I wanted him separated. Anyway, caught him quickly and was congratulating myself when he jumped out of the net and went down the back of the tank. I shouted Oh My God!!!! He's going to die!!!! My husband had just arrived home from work. He rushed through and pulled the tank and stand out of the alcove, something I would never have managed as full it weighs over 250kg! Fish was quickly caught and is still holding his fry today.
Husband currently has hero status! The female betta is holding a vigil where she can see her mate in the hob.
Sorry for long winded post!
