Spent a bit watching this again this evening and playing about with the lighting.
Changed the filter to a resun maxijet internal, and adjusted the outlet to create a fountain effect. and it looks and sounds nice. The shimmer is great.
Tied some of the Fissidens to the emersed parts of the redmoor that stays wet, and will see how it fairs.
Spotted alot of cyclops on the glass, so that is a good sign. and think i saw a few shrimplets darting about.
Changed the fish around. Took out the gouramies, killifish and the cories. And added a pair of HM Pink Dragonscale fighters, female is in an holding bell for now until they are fattened up. male has been attempting to make a nest, but not quite got the grasp yet as they are quite a young pair.
Added some more Black Thai Bees and some more Wine Reds. Not going to add any sulawesi to this one for the time being, as waiting to see what the new color morphs are going to be priced at for the uk market. Love the look of the Blue Cardinals, and they Red Orchids.
Some of the Whites are going a lovely peach color and they look stunning, as the colors are deeper against the redness of the sand.
Snail wise, so glad I chose to go with the Galaxy Pink ramshorns. They way they develop tiny little diamonds pattern all over the flesh is so cool. and they look so different to the standard browns and reds.
The shrimp are now venturing into the emersed part of the scape and forage amongst the exposed soil.
not seen the paradoxus for a while, so hope they are ok.
The Macranda was in a bad way when purchased, but can already see new shoots making their way up out of the water.
Tempted to put some creeping Jenny in aswell, but dunno.
