Planted 120 - Journal

That's looking great Mike. A good trim on those Rotalas once they grow just a little bit taller should shape them into that nice "bush" effect.

Thanks guys!

Yep, I have been holding off on the left side because I wanted them to grow a bit taller before I hacked it to pieces. I had no choice but to trim the right side, the angustifolia was all the way to the top of the tank and had gone about 3/4 of the way to the right side (nothing was getting any light on the right). The polysperma was (and is) taking over the whole right side. Hair grass is growing, but slowly. Starting to get some holes in the leaves, guess it is time to start adding some ferts.

You CANNOT take this tank down! Look @ the growth you have had!!!

I told you to crank that CO2 up! Glad it worked out for you.

Now I am afraid to turn it down

[Jeff120]

Did you measure it? Curious to know what the ppm is.

Turn it down, if you get algae crank it up!


NOTE: Michael has not fish in the tank, dont attempt with a tank of fish!

[maddog10]

Didn't measure but it did blow all the water out of my bubble counter

I have a drop checker around here somewhere.

Use.... crap... umm... there is some stuff at the pharmacy, I'll go dig out the bottle tomorrow..

It s a non-evaporating liquid, sort of syrupy. It might foam at that kind of bubble rate though, heh.

Start with dosing potassium only. That's a good start with a rich substrate like Aquasoil.

Glycerin ingg, glycerin.

[ingg]

Yeah! That's it! Glycerin.
