I've renamed this planted tank after viewing it today. I think the name sums it up rather well.
I think it retains oxygen bubbles pretty efficiently. All the T shaped thallii lock together to form a structure with lots of spaces where an oxygen bubble can be retained.Does anyone know why Riccia Fluitans seems to photosynthesis more than any other plant?
Sorry for the late reply. Originally I had upgraded my lights from T5 Daylight tubes 2 x 54 Watts, to a Fluval Aquasky LED, and a Fluval Aquasky Fresh Plant Pro 3.0 LED. To be honest I wasn't that impressed with either of the LED's, in terms if colour or plant growth.Very nice looking tank, what lights are you using ? your alternanthera's look very nice red coloured. is this mini or regular ?
Thanks Clive, it is still doing well even after severe pruning. Sadly I am throwing out tons of Riccia Fluitans every time I do any pruning.Nice one Steve. Well done mate.
Cheers,
The plants are Alternanthera Reineckii Mini.Very nice looking tank, what lights are you using ? your alternanthera's look very nice red coloured. is this mini or regular ?
You are right they don't look as vibrant do they. I think it is a combination of things. Light, CO2, and iron. As the overhanging plants have grown out they are shielding the Altananthera from the light, I don't think the CO2 is flowing to them as much as it was, and I have not been keeping an eye on the iron levels.what happened with the alternanthera's on the foreground, they look way less red then the before pictures ?
