With the return of dark evenings I can once again take photos. A bit of a change this tank is now low tech since I was having a few problems, mainly my nano tank had a massive invert nuke with snails upturning and a massive shrimp die off. I rescued what I could. My nerites and rabbit snails are now in this tank so a low pH is out of the question, I've put chicken grit in the filter to bring the pH up to about 8. One shrimp has had pups which my fish are ignoring and there's a couple of newly berried female so looking good.
It's back to the 2x14w lighting still doing the 50% water changes and keeping the TDS at about 200-250 rather than the 350-400 I had with full EI. Floating plants are also doing a lot better without the spray bar.
Seems lilaeopsis mauritania is my fourth carpet failure.
Addition of cryptocoryne pigmea into the tank,hasn't done anything in a month but no melt either.
Think I'm starting to get the settings on the d3200 right, these had zero post editing
