90 days later
Hi all,
A few quick pics and hopefully a little video link in a bit...upload 70% complete lol
Video is here I hope: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkU_vM7KBW8 seems slow and blurry but is much better than is showing????
Blyxa has gone nuts and is threatening world domination lol I will trim heavily in a week or so...It has completely filled in the back and is very thick...
Stauro is still not as nice as Tom's and others. Have staggered melting so that it moves/recovers from one spot to the next... does well for a while then melts. Moves somewhere else....
Bolbitus also is not doing well but I trimmed it down to only a few new shoots and placed it in some nice flow as it was getting blocked before....
I think the stems are not long for the tank....I get tired of trimming them..but is the ONLY thing I trim really. The wendti in the back just gets thicker as does the needle java...
The moss is taking off well and the anubias are starting to grow new leaves steadily and flower regularly, always good signs.
I have not trimmed the stauro yet due to the melting issue (wanted to make sure I had nice tops) but think the melting will soon be over and I can trim a little patch and see how that goes...
I think some more bolbitus and anubias....the branches really got dark and you can see some bba and other algae (hair, clado) growing here and there, but not too bad IMO...
Still working on c02 and have a Rio 1000 to do a needle wheel mod on and see how that works....Maybe replace the mazzei for awhile and compare.....Or run WITH the mazzei
Appreciate any comments and suggestions....Still need a background.
I do like the way it looks however and will be adding the lambchops soon.....
Big difference in 90 days....I am VERY pleased with it and have gotten some very nice comments and compliments on it. Thanks again to all who continue to help me learn and grow...no pun intended...
