Day 25 - Update
Here you can see the difference in growth since 7th October.
There isn't that drastic a change happening I guess the most interesting thing to report is that the stems need their first trim, in fact everything pretty much does. This next stage is going to be very difficult, I will have to drain the tank and remove the tenellus, then replant the glossostigma I have received. I have also got some new pots of rotala sp. "green" which I intend to use in the left corner too. So this trimming stage is where I will try to shape the rotala so it grows in the low to high formation you always see, I've never quite managed to get it to work before but I shall give it a try. Still no livestock in there yet I was hoping to add some of my shrimp this weekend, depending on how things go. I think nearly a month is a good time to mature the tank ready for it's first inhabitants.
