as my tanks been doing its doing ok considering i have cut the light back and not dosing any ferts i am only adding seachem flourish excel daily ! the limnophilila sesslilfoora is still growing stupidly fast and to trim back 3 times now as its hit top of the tank its bushing up nicely ! another one that seems to be doing really well is the tripartita japan looks healthy and growing well had to push that back down twice also the mc is spreading well but can definitely see a lack of nutrients just hope it holds on till i get things up and running properly again same can be said about the tax barbieri and sp bonsai its the ferts they are missing most i feel ! at least there is no signs of algae and i am getting on top of this white fungus which keeps appearing on my tantora driftwood bonsai .
on and working just got to keep a close eye on it for next few days but hopefully full steam ahead.
or could be more to do with regular maintenance still having to deal with fungus grows quicker than my lilimnopilla sesslilfoora, anyway thinking about the tank residents apart from clean up crew i am yet to decide on my main shoal flow round my tank is fairly strong so can not be suited for calm waters what would you all think would suit
Thanks natasha I am happy with it all for a first planted tank i think it turned out pretty well just the case of pruning it all into shape now . I feel the Moss in the tree has really took hold this last couple of weeks and it's filling in nicely it's now got to the stage I can start cutting it into shape , there will be a couple of minor adjustments I will make eg in and around the Base of the tree as it's too shaded to get the MC to grow and I would like something with some height but slower growing in the back corner near the filter pipes .
It's looking great! I've been running a smaller 30x30x30 ADA (the aquarium that I adopted) but I've been wondering about moving up to this size (your 60x45x45). I think your scape has convinced me.
Thanks natasha. One word of advice with this aquarium (height) it's great having the height but think about what sort of scapes you want to achieve takes a lot of building up ! But on the other hand it suits me fine and already got things in my mind for the futureIt's looking great! I've been running a smaller 30x30x30 ADA (the aquarium that I adopted) but I've been wondering about moving up to this size (your 60x45x45). I think your scape has convinced me.
learned a lot from the build process this time around .
