The Grassy knol

Hey ,
I used 3 pots of the HC and 2 pots of the HG ,

Well worth the monies :) didn't realize is was private damn .... Will change that when I get home ,
Cheers
 
Just made the vid public ,
I was trying to show the wife all the stunning tanks on this forum and she believes that they are all photoshopped ..... So I have got fingers crossed that in a few or more months down the line I could have a great tank to prove her wrong
:)
I do have a few people asking me 'Why have you not got any water in your tank, is it not meant to be a fish tank ?'

Of coarse I try an explain its an 'aqua scape'
And there is most certainly have been the funny looks from filming the plants , mainly from women . Don't think they understand lol
It's about creating a living environment to add fish and be as natural as possible ...
People just don't understand the work involved to growing aquatic plants to the level some people do on this forum !
Thought I had to share
Cheers

Thought I would share . You can see how discoloured the hair grass is , there is a lot of new growth so I hope it will catch up with the hc and staur as that is doing nicely indeed .
Cheers
 
You should do it :) , but you probably would need to have it set up and going for a couple weeks to see some good action on cam (it's like plant porn hahaha) , I was filming through imotionHD on the iPad . If I had a tripod i would probably leave it running for a couple weeks .
Be good to see that vid of yours .
Cheers
 
Yea I'm using that same app on the iPad! Had in running since lunch, so will check it out later tonight, think your rite about leaving it all week, not holding much hope on seeing much in that short amount of time! Can resume it tho on that app so might carry it on for a few days!
 
Yea I just paused it at lights off then resumed when lights on , I did have the iPad secured to the tank but think my son moved it a few times , why second vid was a bit shaky . (Need to make a tripod)
I compared the 1st shot to the last shot taken on the 1st vid over 7hrs and I did see some growth from hc . So you should see some (very little) growth over one day , the problem I have is I use the iPad regularly so it was a pain to have it set up all week , I think I may do another with just the hc , over the next couple of days :)
Cheers
. You can see the growth well if you set it at the highest frame rate and just keep it playing :)
 
Had the need to upload something so i Thought I'd upload some pics :)
Cheers
 
Cheers mr big clown , it has taken off .
The reason I did a dry start was because we are moving hopefully by September so didn't want a flooded tank until I had moved , easier to deal with a dsm set up :) but now that date looks like its changed so it may way be flooded before the move , was hoping the dsm was going to take longer but I think it may be ready to flood in a month at the most , also need to get myself an up inline diffuser .
Seen some on the fleabay for £15

Are these the ones to get ?
Cheers
 
Do you inject co2 big clown ? If so what do you use ??
How much are they from tank scape ?
I will be using a clear spray bar full length of the tank so I'm thinking inline diffuser could work best , but I do have 2 intense bazookas but read good reviews of the inlines .....
 
We've got no water yet. A diffuser is on the shopping list along with extra filtration. I'm thinking using the up inline too after reading good things on here but im not sure my reg will do. So i might have to make a diy reactor instead. Your tank was started around about the same time as my mates and his hc is doing as well as yours, so we need to pull our fingers out and get the last few bits n bobs ready for flooding in 2-3weeks
About £28 @ tankscape
 
I think I have everything i need for when i fill :) it's like building the ark waiting for the flood haha . Just hope I dont completely mess things up when it is flooded ! I'm in no hurry for livestock either wanna get it just right.
Like I say I have those bazookas but I'm not sure I'm going to get better dissolution then the inlines :/
Cheers
 
Thanks for the heads up , I did try the bazookas in a bucket not long ago and set my reg at about 1.5 bar and waited 5 mins and it got going well and producing a very fine 'mist ' :) but i dont think the problem is there , just worried where to place it in the tank, as with the In line the co2 just gets pumped out the outflow :)
