A few photos from Friday night before Saturday trim & water change.
Somebody’s been eating their Wheaties! The glandulosa is still a mixed bag of success and stunting. The big one here is one of the first in the flow pattern. I’ve got seven stems of it, I’d be happy with four if they all looked like Jumbo here. I’m going to thin it out & see if I can get several good ones.
Ludwigia sp. red is probably the tank champion so far. This will be its second trimming. That’s 12 stems in the sand. I am going to cut it back to nine stems, and cut them down to half size at that.
Acmella repens has almost doubled in size, and pearls up a storm. That said, it is showing some leaf distortion, is picking up a little BBA on a couple of leaves, and is not entirely happy. It’s brightly lit, got good flow and first crack at the CO2 swirling down from the distribution pattern. Any thoughts?
Ammania bonsai is growing slowly but clean, a low-key success story.
Penthorum is doing well in its little corner. It has been part of the musical chairs while I shift things around for where they’ll do well and contribute best to the look of the scape. Didiplys diandra has been the hardest to place. Flow in this setup is much better than my previous scape, so diandra gets pushed around a lot by current unless the spot is just right.
