One comment on the hair grass: mow the lawn
Like to 2 cm tall. It grows back and is easier to maintain over time this way.
Yes you are right, in my precedent tank, I managed to keep it over 6 month, maybe 8, by just doing that. A good hair cut every other week.
Glass you took out that other weed, Gloss.
Folks seem to enjoy that weed till they keep it for awhile.
It will just grow way too fast. Your scape shows you gone from high trim maintenance down to lower work loads
Make sure to inform others about such issues.
The problem I had with the glosso, it use to form big leaves and after few weeks grow like a stem plant (very tall). Never understood why. It used to do that with my 180L with 250W HQL and with the T5 and in this tank under T5. :?:
And yes it grow far far to fast.
Also, the R wallichi does much better if you uporoot and replant the tops, vs topping and letting the new growth come back.
Thanks for the advice, will do.
Glad to see the rocks back
Great job on the tank build.
Thanks very much Tom.
nice rock work!
Tanks Planter, but I can not take the credit. If you look at the ADA catalogue 2006, you will know why.
I love the clean looks!!
Where is your heater? Aplogies if you have posted this earlier,
Cheers,
Thanks Redstevo. Don't apologies, you did not see any, because I don't use any. I used to put an Hydore external during the winter. But this year I been to lazy to put it back. The tank did not go below 23C.
My main problem is the heat, the tank now is around 28/29C and the HC don't really like it
great to see someone else building tanks.. its alot easier than everyone thinks it is.
It is true, it is not a big deal, specialy that size.
When I was 19 I bought a 450L with the base broken so I had to unglue change the base and reglue it. It was a bit more hard, at the time there wasn't the internet and had to do it by felling. But it did okay. Now being older a bit less crazy and more wise I will think twice to do a tank that big. But why not
I take you are building your own tank, what size?
