Evening everyone ! 😀
Hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather. 🌞
Had a run to horizon aquatics today, had a lovely chat to James and Nicole
Picked up 3 red onion nerite snails.
And also got an update , my waterbox 2420 should be delivered by the end of next week all being well!
Update on the aquascaper,
Spot dosed excel the other day , a lot has gone red now just a very small amount remains, so doing 2x80% water changes a week at the minute and really enjoying them.
Had a massive massive trim today. A lot of the super red had gone leggy and wasn't doing as well as It could be lower down, so I removed pretty much all the lower stems and replanting the tops of the taller ones, got all the dead leaves i could see out the tank, trimmed all the rear next to the tall Crypt(can't remember it's name?) But started as a 1.2 grow pot and now has 30cm+leaves draping across the top of the tank .
Although it looks bare now
I am looking forward to it growing back in, hopefully helped by the 2hr aquarist complete ..
Will keep this updated as to how I get on with the new ferts
Today I
Carried out an 80% approximately water change
Cleaned prefilter
Cleaned the front glass (leaving the sides and back as no visible algae on it and the ottos enjoy the sides and In and around the flow.
My striped Hill stream loach is loving the tanks trim (love the little fella, looks stunning in my opinion) and has gotten a lot more adventurous these past couple of weeks
All fish snails and shrimp well and exploring the now trimmed tank
Will attach a few photos now.
Much prefer the overgrown look but also enjoy seeing the plants grow in
Tank is now just over 6 months old
They had frozen brine shrimp tonight
And loved it
Looking forward to it growing in, but feel happier knowing that all the plants are now as healthy as can be after removing and replanting the top half's
Enjoy the photos, and thanks all for following this journal. Once the waterbox adventure starts I will start a new journal but will also continue this one
Thanks everyone
Matt 😃
