Re: 60cm "quemador lenta" The Plan!

Sounds good Mark, I'll look forward to seeing your plan come together...... and I'm sure the moss will come good for you.

I'd be more than happy to have this as a serious tank, let alone a tester.

Cheers Tom, I'm finding that doing a tank my old way (planting and leaving it alone) isnt the best way. I'm discovering that taking away or adding plants can often lead to a better layout. I just dont have that 'amano' eye.

So stage one of the plan...taking the bolbitis out! such a small thing to do, but blimey, it's opened the tank up no end.

other stages will take place over the coming days....do you know how tiring it is to take out a huge bolbitis? :lol:

Hi Mark, loving your tank but already missing the Bolbitis( bought some after seeing it in your tank ) but your the man with the vision and can't wait to see where your vision is going to take the tank,seriously can't wait , want to see it NOW!!!!!! :lol:

I used to fall into that trap a lot. It's all to easy to do aswell. A dry scape will look totaly different once filled in, but it's hard to see sometimes.

Re: 60cm "quemador lenta" The Plan!

A vid to go with the weekends trimming. Nothing special.720p or 1080p if you can.

Re: 60cm "quemador lenta" The Plan!

guys, thanks.

What i meant by 'nothing special' was the vid. Just 2 clips strung together. No music, editing etc. :oops:

love the video and those mosses are looking great too

Cheers Paulo. I've done a bit of digging on tinternet, and found a great site for moss info. It appears (as you also said paulo) moss goes through a period of settling in. Coming from one tank to another, it needs to adjust.

I think finally, mine is adjusting with bright green, new growth.
 
Re: 60cm "quemador lenta" Covering old ground.

I Had to post some kind of image. I'm testing whether i can go a while without posting a pic...It's harder than when i quit drink! :wideyed:

So, instead of showing how things are now, i thought i could show how things were.

For Ed...the c helferi days.

I've trimmed the moss tonight, and replanted some hydrocotyle in the front. :)
 
Re: 60cm "quemador lenta" Covering old ground.
