Just done another trim on the umbrosum today and replanted the tops on the left hand side in the place of the Java Fern, which wasn't doing well at all.
Another thought I've had is to have a short carpet of Riccia over the foreground and down the centre, as it would suck up the rest of the nutrients and hopefully limit the algae growth I'm getting...
I'm getting a bit of what I think is hair algae or possibly stagorn, mainly on the wood and rocks but also in the moss a bit. I got a new CO2 bottle today, so I've increased the bubbles to just over 1bps.
I'm nervous about whether to trim the R. indica as well as the umbrosum just in case I get more algae as a result of the lack of plant matter. Should I be ok to trim both or should I do it at different times?
