it looks like im starting to win my ongoing battle with co2 . hair algae is alomost gone , no new algae and now im getting plants pearling away a couple of hours after lights on . ive wanted to get more plants in for a while , but resisted until i beat co2 and stopped melting/killing plants . at the moment ive got
echinodorus ozelot , had to remove most of the leaves and trim off a lot of brown/rotten roots . got 1 new leaf , and plant is pearling
Hydrocotyle leucocephala , in from the start , was doing nothing , suddenly perked up had a growth spurt , some new leaves , also pearling
rotala rotundifolia , been in a couple of weeks , did nothing really at 1st , suffered quite badly in the gloomy spell . seems to be perking up a little , no new growth though . pearling like a madman
java moss been in around a week pearling away like a madman , could use a trim . slight amount of hair algae ( only area in the tank) . will trim it at next waterchange .
anubias nana , around 3 weeks recently flowered , pearling a little bit ( no concern with this plant)
ludwigia repens "ruben" been in from the start ( around 6 weeks) went mental to start with , suffered badly after with droopy broken leaves , which i attributed to the co2 issues .trimmed it right back , losing most of it . no new growth no pearling , pretty much doing nothing really
hydrocotyle sp japan , suffered badly again . seems to be getting some new growth now though , all be it very little .
hygro corymbosa siamensis 53b , a new addition at the weekend , pearling away nicely . expecting some melt/transition though as its a new plant .
1 remaining crypt which didnt melt , been in 6 weeks done absolutley nowt . looks the same as the day i planted it
so now im wondering where to go next . will deffinately be adding some more plants very soon though . so do i just see it as a recovery in its infancy ( things only picked up in last 3 days ) , and be happy and let the tank do its thing ? do i need to be taking a "next step" whatever that may be ?
