Hello everyone,
My name is Mario and this is the journal of my return to the hobby after many years. First things first a full tank shot:
Apologies for the clingfilm. It's a SuperFish scaper 90 tank with the light that comes with it. Substrate is gravel with a thin layer of topsoil over it, capped with a thick layer of coarse sand. Unknown rocks collected in the Lake District. Wood is standard lfs mopani.
I have already done a DSM with the moss (Taxiphyllum barbieri) using the yoghurt method for about 5 weeks. During the same time I also propagated a pot of Eleocharis acicularis mini in some compost and I have ended up with a lot of hairgrass to plant today! The other species mixed in are Marsilea hirsuta and Helanthium tenellum, all from 1-2 Tropica.
My favourite rock:
I am planning another DSM of 4-5 weeks and then probably DIY CO2 (I know, I know...).
Hopefully I will post regular updates, thank you for reading !
