No! It just happened and i leave it in the video!Hi Tmiravent, Looking really goodWas that stem suppose to float away.
I cleaned and dry the soil, i think it's floating a bit yet.

Hi Tmiravent , What happened to the UG
Hi greenfinger, the UG is a very temperamental plant! It's on the top right floating...Hi Tmiravent , What happened to the UG
In my tank's always almost dies when i put a 'new' pot... Even when i change place in well established tank, it suffers.
I leave it from some time floating... when i fell that UG is recovering a plant it again.
The layout counts today 20 days, from now on things should be more stable also!
The HC (cuba) also suffered a bit (but i address that to shimp's)
Last UG carpet was much worst in the beginning and then:
hope that will be easy as last time (fingers crossed),
cheers

Hi Tmiravent, UG is the most frustrating plant I have ever tried to grow Hope yours settles in soon
Hope yours settles in soonFinally UG is adapted to the tank! Maybe a little bit more Co2...Hi Tmiravent, UG is the most frustrating plant I have ever tried to grow

Interesting view!
Testing the 'electrolysis' in this tank...
My impression is good. Less algae, more fish activity, plants also seem to be much better.
The plants show better health 2/3 days later.
The mesh is very thin and is already being destroyed (maybe long time working and too thin).
Here is a snap of the plants:

Hi Tmiravent, Looking great the UG doing well 
Hi Tmiravent, Looking great the UG doing well
Hi, thanks!
There is some reason (that i don't know) why UG behaves like that.
UG is very consistent, new tank or layout , and melts almost to the bone!
Then i leave it for some time (floating or planted) and then start's to pop up.
Why? I don't have an answer...
Even in a very well establish tank when i move it it melt's a bit.
As you can see in the pictures, i had something like 3 pots of UG for start, turn into almost nothing...
And now is speeding up!
This is not a very 'scientific' experiment, but:
I also 'suspect' the electrolysis DYI gear had a huge impact in the layout stability. The algae decrease was substancial.
Now i switched to 'twinstart' and already can see some diferences (much less time doing the bubble work).
My question is: why they don't let us decide the time the gear is on? At least more levels of choice and freedom...
Next step is turning the 'electrolysis' device into a external (like a canister).
Done that in the other tank and is working fine (for now)...
cheers
Hi,
some small update from this tank, too hot and too many fires in Portugal...
UG finally was fine, but didn't like the look... (it was too green).
Trying sand this time...
Lot's of snails and arcuata in.
Cuba, rotalas and the rest of plants very healthy.
Twinstar is in this tank, didn't notice any diference (both DIY and Twinstar worked fine).
cheers

Sympathies for the devastation caused by the fires.
Hi,
just wonder how much power my DIY light fixture is outputting in this layout...
So made some simple test:
My DIY is 48W GU10LED's 8 x 6W (6000ºK to 6500ªK) measured right in the middle of the tank.
In red you can see Beamswork Plant Version 33W - 90cm (yes, is too big for this tank).
Blue color is Beamswork just under the Glass (instead of 10 cm).
The apogee sensor was attached to a tripod (in order to switch the lights without touching sensor position).
DIY fixture shows some variation in distribution on top (at surface line) the values go +30 PAR right under the led.
Beamswork is much uniform at 10cm (as expected).
I'll try to do the test outside the tank to compare them without reflections inside water and glass.
Cheers!
