Scape corner

I don't think they particularly like high ferts,
Not going to put any ferts in the first 3 weeks just for that reason and because of my investment in the 5000 root tabs lol half of which are in the scape burried deep in the substrate
Although I know others on here grow it like a weed, so probably just something I'm doing wrong
I'd love to grow it like a weed so we must be doing something wrong
 
Ok so plant list as promised
2x 1_2 grow pots Micranthemum Monte Carlo
2x 1_2 grow pots Rotala Vietnam H'ra
1x 1_2 grow pot Littorella Uniflora
2x Cryptocoryne Pava
2x Rotala yoi yai
2x Bucephalandra sp Lamandau Mini Red
2x Anubias Pangolino
1x Utricularia Graminifolia

Gorgeous corner.
Do you have a picture of all three tanks?

Your scaping is very good and I love the colour choice for the plants.
Fantastic.
 
New scapes looking good mate, got to admit I did really like your old 800 layout but i get the need for change and a freshen up

what's your stocking lists like in each tank now after your new additions then? Embers look good as always

No new live stock as of yet mate just moved the harlequins to the 60 and the gold ring danios back to the 80 and shared the shrimp between the 3 thought the shrimps would be ok in the 45p but the lil sh*ts have pulled the UG up lol the first time it's not all melted lol

Haha typical just as you're getting somewhere eh!

Reason I thought you had new additions as I read back a couple of pages and forgot to check it was July you added a few more :banghead::lol:
 
Inspiring updates :wideyed:

Definitely time to trim that glosso (I always fail at trimming - too painful to cut :lol: )
 
Well there’s enough area that you can play with heights - and find your preference :)

I’d divide the tank into 3 zones - assuming this is the first trim, consider that for density you need to trim, once you’re happy with the density, you can allow some areas more height
Note that if your light is closer to “threshold” rather than “excess”, light shading will have more of an effect
 
One of my all time favourite scapes

Though there are some changes as scape progresses

(note the glosso development)
