Going Dutch Tropica 1-2 Grow Style

Going away for five days...the lighting has been dropped to 4 hours and c02 to 6 hours. The tank won't be dosed as I don't have anyone trust worthy enough to do it lol! Massive water change this morning, and dosed accordingly.

Here's a quick snap of the reflections in the tank.

Lush, full already and red :)
Enjoy your trip away.
 
Looks like a real summer garden mate, well i suppose it is really, just with fish in!
 
Thanks everyone, struggling with 'o' Internet access so everything is really slow.

I'm really happy with the plant health I the tank, can't praise 1-2 grow enough tbh.
 
Just got back in from our short break away and everything is ok (ish), the R Mac hasn't gone as red with, all I can think, dropping the light levels for 5 days. It also hasn't been dosed at all. It looks like it's ready for its second trim in a few days though.

It looks great Ian! It looks loads more mature than its age and the plant growth is incredible too... Just goes to show how powerful those LED tiles are as well.

Ian,..do you have 2 lily pipes in there? Whats your total filtration turnover rate please? It's looking magical,...spotless tank.:)

Thank you faizal, there is a ehiem 2073 and a hydor prime 600, so 1750ltr per hour at the moment. Obviously there's a slight on that.

Thanks George, mate...I'm finding this an arduous journey, and ill be glad never to see a stem plant again! It'll be worth it in the end though (I hope)
