A quick phone pic
Two hours and a load of plants binned and hopefully it will look much better when it grows in.

I think i need to clean the BBA off my hardscape, pull that bad leaf of the Erio. and maybe pull crypts up as and when they appear but apart from that happy days everything's growing like crazy

A bit of a tidy a mini trimmed and tops replanted. A few new crypt leaves were dug up this week and i had to lift the rocks to get the last few roots out.
I've started dosing 5ml of tnc carbon to try get rid of the bba on the wood and heater. Just need to clean the filter, pipework and glassware:nailbiting:
 
Just trimmed this. The new stems were growing out of the tank. Got rid of the red Ludwiga . It grows too fast and far is too big for what I want. I'm going to fill the gap with the other stems from hoggy.
Carpet plants look great but I'm not a big fan of trimming them every other week and removing all the bits is a royal pita.
Photos later
 
I called at CVA today and bought a pot of rotala wallichii from his much increased selection of plants, good to see my lfs moving into planted tanks lots of dragon stone too
Anyway a quick phone pic from now.

Oh and I've upped tmc tile to 75% too
4h ramp then 2hours at 75% then 4h ramp
 
Emersed Rotala sp wallachii
Bit of both..... I would think!
As the leaves are quite thin and soft and have a reddish hue when transformed to submerged!
This plant needs a shake every other day as it collects detritus very easily!

Cheers hoggy
A bit of both the top inch is immersed you can see in the second pic back left stem, all what you can see is immersed growth and below that is the emersed growth slowly melting
Your right about the dirt shaking the p. erectus is pretty bad for it too
I'm just about to cut your bonsai do you want a few stems of this too?

I cant add any more co2 so think i need to lower my lighting a little bit.
Still getting a little bba on the harscape and the older leaves of the anubias and buce
Pogo needs a trim again, im thinking about trying another plant here
 
Sweet .
Mine seems to take a lifetime to grow but I've had a few times here and there when the light has been off for over a week and then a lack of water changes.
But I'm determined to keep a routine now

Would you like some queen moss ?
