mjd271169 Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I have removed the aqua one canister and am now running an e-heim 2215 and aqua one internal 102F the only thing I am a bit concerned about is the e-heim intake is on the left hand side behind the thick plant mass so hopefully it still works well set up like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd271169 Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Tanks looking good, I have increased my ferts today, I am waiting for some dry ferts to arrive hopefully next week so I am now upping my dosing of the seachem ones as I was lacking in a few areas. Mainly iron and phosphate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 It's looking very good. Nice photo too. Night time shots of planted tanks really do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjd271169 Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Thought I would post a pic one week after the re-scape, this weeks pics is not great as its not quite in focus but the growth is evident. I actually think I need to trim and replant the plants on the left hand side already and I have not even added root tabs yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd271169 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 since the second picure I have done a big trim, this was a couple of weeks ago, everything trimmed to half the height of the tank that was at the surface 2 weeks later it is like this - the hygro has grown up and gone the full length of the tank on the surface. The Val has grown up, forward and then comes down the front of the tank and touches the gravel. Ambulia at the surface baby tears near the surface. The growth has been quite outrageous and was never expecting to have to do such major trims every fortnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd271169 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 The plants seem happy I am dosing NPK 3 tmes a week - using seachem range but have dry powders ready to go as soon as I use up the bottles I have now N reading at 10ppm K have no idea PO4 reading at 1 ppm Iron and traces 3 times a week, using flourish for trace Having problems with green spot algae which I though was because phosphate was 0, but increasing my phospahte to get a reading now means it may be more light duration related. need to play with this as I am cleaning the glass each week and it keeps cmoing back. Anyway here are some pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
