Day 79 - 1st update in almost 2 weeks now and theres been some changes made, so we will get straight to it.
So ive finally decided to give up on the Lobelia as it just wasnt taking off, but they have been replaced with some Crypt Parva & Willisii.
Yep thats right i now am the owner of a battleship!
Was it my idea? No
Do i like it? Im not sure at this moment
So anyway il explain how this all came about.....
Basically the past 2 weekends (which is normally the time I update my blog) ive been helping my partners friend set up their own fish tank. Now their tank was a 2 1/2 foot juwel, which i thought perfect..... Oh how could i be more wrong. So this tank was completely overgrown with plants, over run with snails and over populated with fish. The previous owners lost interest almost 2! Years ago, they said because of the plants they have never changed water or filter media. So one weekend became a case of completley stripping the tank bare of plants appart from a few and letting things settle before coming back this past weekend and basically starting again. Getting rid off all snails (hopefully) and relaying with what she was advised by a local retailer to use. I dont have a photo of before but theres an image of how many plants were in there once bagged. 1st image is after plants were taken out with the few that were left in, 2nd is all the plants that were taken out. And 3rd is after i was done this past weekend.
Before i go i want to thank a fellow UKAPS member who for the moment i wont name but they know who they are. This member got in contact with me recently to see if i would be interested in some plants, which of course i was as ive mentioned in recent blogs i wanted something small to fill the foreground. So they went out of their way to not only contact but then send carefully packed and posted 1st class! So if your reading this once again i thank you very much!
So apologies for the slightly extended blog but i thought id get my explanation in, and express my gratitude. Keep it green & thanks for reading!
