Hi all!
Its time to update, at least there is something to update now. Summer went pretty well without adding any kind of Co2 but as summer turned into autumn and all green was gone from the garden, I felt myself very very shortage of green and desided to start EC for three tanks (in order to get some green faster as first aid):, 600l wich was replanted two weeks ago (after taking all plants exept a small sword away at the beginning of the summer as it turned to be just-wood-wanna-be-amazonbiotope), sons 300l and kitchens nano wich was given me as a birthdaypresent in september (so the 60l was sold away). As said, 600l was replanted two weeks ago and just yesterday I plant more, also waiting2x Echinodorus argentinensis (wrong name) and 2x E grandiflorus from Germany. There must be a mistake naming these swords, but hopefully other one will be a real Argentine sword (actually E grandiflorus (ssp grandiflorus)) wich Im looking for! Two weeks ago I also did some rearrangements in filtration, here more (How to...) Get rid of filtration | UK Aquatic Plant Society. Well, the right thread is "How to get rid of mechanical (or electrical) filters", not filtration!
I know, I know...we all like pics, so you are welcome: sorry the poor quality
600l as of yesterday, water is bit cloudy and tank messy after planting session, first some underwater sights with just "moonlightning" (IRL more shady than in pics!). Swords will be planted at the back of the tank
:
250l wich Im very pleased with, thou its now a bit naked after major trim, the first pic is taken before trim, a bit overgrown... This time I had glass on the tank, now without. its still under construction, Im waiting Micranthemum umbrosum arriving today, going to plant it emersed, Ficus is expected to grow etcetc. There lives 15 black ghosts, 5 jaguar cories and a pack of six Vietnamese Multi Banded Zebra Loachs.
Ludisia growing in water, about to bloom (as Anthurium next to it), right some species tiny orchid (name??? Forgot!), wich has not bloomed yet.
To be honest, the thread is wrong since only sons 45l and the 250l (^) are running without EasyCarbo, they are not low-tecs anymore. I will change the name of the thread. And oh, we have started to collect rainwater in order to lower high ECs (850is uSv at highest) with a fantastic results, now we are at 150-400uSv. I have ordered RO from Germany but still waiting... Idea is to use 50/50 or 60/40 ro-tap-mix.
Will update sons tanks and kitchen nano soon, cheers,
Maria
