Hey guys! flooded it a couple of a days ago. All went well and nothing floated The moss (see first pic) has attached it self to the rocks using the yogurt/blender method
A couple of weeks before I flooded it I made a few small changes.. planted Eleocharis acicularis in the back left corner and moved some of the HC and HG that was there to fill in some gaps. Also added a few more small rocks.
So far I've done two 90% water changes on day 1 & 2 and today I did 50% and added a small bag of purigen to the middle chamber and some fine filter pad on top of the sponge filter.
CO2 is going fast with drop checker lime green. Aiming to get it into the yellow untill fish are added.
I have a fluval ceramic co2 diffuser in the pump chamber and exit thorugh the spray bar, this little setup seems to be working quite well. I got some clear acrylic tube and made a spray bar to replace the black one I had.
I'm dosing 1ml liquid co2 and a half dose of ferts per day.
Light is on for 8 hours total but only 6 hours at 100%. I have some par data for the light and the lowest point of my scape according to the data gets 35 par... I think this is ok but input welcome. Cheers, enjoy the photos
