Hi Guys,
So its been 24hrs and all seems good, Done a 75% water change and ill be doing that for around a week, Then prob 50% every other day or so until things settle in a little ..
Tanks still full of bubbles and some of the wood is still trying to flout a little so take no notice tap across the top and the wood in the center ( the peace sticking up ) that will be moved and replaced once it stops trying to flout off

Iv still got to plant some more sp mini slight mix up with my order but no rush, thoughts welcome O and help taking photos ( Setting ect )
anyways a few pics....

Looks fantastic mate and that's just the initial planting. This will look great when it sets in. Awesome for a first time too. That patience has certainly paid off well done

Thanks mate, I have a quick question for you if you don't mind, at the back behind the larger stone I have ludwigia sp and many of the leave are bruised from planting/delivery, should I cut these stems back now or wait for growth?

My intention was to wait then cut the bad out for new growth later?

Cheers guys thanks for all the comments

Hi Aron

Personally I'd let them recover and allow them to adapt to your tank for a couple of weeks before pruning.

Cheers George that's what I thought and would have done but it don't hurt to ask

How's the tank settling mate?

How's the tank settling mate?

Hi buddy
Well iv been off too a rocky start tbh with almost every type of algae going. With the tank being so thin in width and the size of the rock almost central along the tank the flow was poor.

co2 was and still is high and light period lowered too 4 and a half hours and a co2 start of 2 and half hour before lights on and 2 hours before off.

Iv taken the Glass lilies off and added the eheim standard green in and out takes (spray bar). With double does of exel along with the few changes iv made iv almost sorted the algae problems.

Ill take some pics tomorrow as its been planted 5 weeks today

Cheers
