Im thinking about getting a buce or something to go on the rock just left of the wood and i want something to go in the gap on the right
Any ideas?

 

[Ryan Thang To]

[Andy Thurston]

Sweet cheers dude

Finally!!! I had to cut the carpet this tanks really taken off since the move. I'm not sure if it was the new glassware increased ferts or the huge water changes but its definitely growing like crazy now

Lets hope it still does tomorrow after i have a shuffle round.
I left the plants, which hoggie sent me at work so i cant do anything tonight
The crypts are going, every time i touch them, even accidentally, they suffer some melting.
Just thinking where I'm going to put everything. Hey ho choices choices

 

[Samjpikey]

Nice , look forward to see what you do
I'm going to give back lighting a go
Have you got any fish in this yet ?
How you finding the glass spraybar ??

Livestock is
3 glowline tetras
3 ottos
4 amano shrimp
15 painted red shrimp males
Waiting for painted red females to arrive in stock
The glowline tetras will probably get put in the clown tank when the new shrimp arrive, just leaving the ottos and shrimp
Have a look at the last few pages for livestock pics.

Thanks for the plants Hoggie and Ryan
They all arrived safely and are floating in the tank waiting until i've taken my kids home then i can get my elbows wet

 

[Andy Thurston]

Photo bomb only iphone though
Still not had a shuffle yet just bunged stuff in temporary locations the buce is staying there i hope!

Seems to be growing cheers ryan

New stems a bit twisted from floating in the tank

And the p. Erectus is growing out of the top of the tank, needs a trim.
Hopefully grow the stems on from hoggie and then reshuffle when i have more plant mass. I might make a few minor changes to get ready though

 

[Ryan Thang To]

looking fabulous

 

[Andy Thurston]

Thanks tim
Its growing better since the move than its ever grown. I'm still pushing it where lights concerned tmc 1500 colour plus tile set at 35% on 1 channel and 75% on the other channel so about 55% power.
If i didn't keep forgetting to top the tank up i might be able to manage to get rid of the little bit of bba i keep getting on the wood

Hi Andy
I would strip most of the emersed leaves of the Rotala...they will just die off eventually!
Two advantages...less gunge in the aquarium...it also produces new submerged leaf growth!
Nice tank Andy!
Cheers

 

[Andy Thurston]

Cheers Hoggy
I am probably top the rotala as soon as theres enough immersed growth to plant the rest will probably be discarded

Eriocaulon taiwan and Eriocaulon cinereum added cheers Ed @ freshwater shrimp
