Ghengis Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) but the HC doesn't look too happy... Could you be burning it with the Excel? Would it be best to allow it to root in a little? I actually have no idea, but I have heard that Excel can be harsh on delicate plants, if they've not settled in properly...

Ghengis Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Whats wrong with that?? Plants need time to settle into a new environment before being fertilised, just like pe-oples... Ain't gonna edit it, now. Don't want that stupid footnote on my post!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieOrCory Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Great tank I must have been Japanese in previous life, I love the stuff Amano came up with!!! By the way I am assuming the stand that has all your bits and pieces is a ADA stand. Is that correct? I need something like that to keep all my bits and pieces together. I keep loosing things!!!

kitstyles Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Update after trimming... I wanted to trim it like a triangular mound shape because of the different stem plant growth rate, still need sometime to work out how tall should I trim for each of the type to create the shape I want.

Ghengis Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Let me just be the first to say this... Stunning tank again, Kitz! You really have a handle on this planted tank thing. Really love your work, always a pleasure to view your tanks. Looking forward to more updates :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njsul Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Got to love that rock what is the yellow on it algae/moss??? and is that quartz??? (white bits) I like the look of the glass co2 gear left in for photos also. So the plan is to have the rotala peak behind the rock ??? Nice set up :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Very nice. The plants looks so stunningly healthy. I reckon higher on the back left would look nice. So the visual triangle is highest at the back left and comes down diagonally to the front right corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitstyles Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 njsul: yeah I think its the white bits that turn green haha... I agree with you mike, going to trim the back stem plants like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
