Top man,thank you sir :clap: that is a great help just as I was starting to get a headache thinking about how I was going to go about it. Muchas gracias:thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks for the link Michael,that does help out a lot although I have no way to measure ppm and such like,I think i'll just start with small amounts of the dry salts I have and take it from there.

Week 2 and still going good,most of the crypt melt seems to of calmed down and most are throwing up new leaves. However the limnobium laevigatum is looking very yellow and the bigger parts of the plant are turning to mush,it is still sending out new runners and sprouting new leaves.Should I be...

Ok cool,I'll do that thanks for the advice I wasn't sure how much I should thin it out,should I just uproot it and split it again?

I really like these sort of scapes:thumbup:

Little update,one week on Plenty of crypt melt Limnobium laevigatum Looking a bit yellow. Thats about it,no algae yet tho:)

Plants finally turned up around 1830,so with no real plan in mind I set them out on the floor and just stared at the tank for about an hour. Then I decided to lay in some hardscape and have a play about to see what I could come up with,but after about 10 minutes most of it all came back out...

1700 and still no plants:(

Holy big tank Batman!!!:wideyed:

Yeah I did think along them lines a while ago(not the frosted vinyl tho,good idea!)but i will be adding more emmersed plants in the future along the sides aswell so don't think that works well for me. I do have some Limnobium laevigatum (floating plant) coming on friday too,was kinda hoping that...

Cheers guys, I understand what your both saying,but the t5 unit I have only allows me to run either 2 or 4 bulbs,if I run it on 2 bulbs and take one out,the bulb left does not work.However I can raise the unit further still if needs be. The algae issues i had in the first posts was deffo due to...

A few more pictures of after changing the gravel Not the best photos in the world,but i only have an Nikon coolpix and I'm useless and taking photos

Ok managed to sort the photo problem,where was I,oh yeah. Right,the photos above are of the last attempt the algae got too much of a hold in the end so it all come out,(apart from the Anubias which im planing on keeping)I don't have any photos of this but it's fair to say it was a right mess...

umm,having a few problems with the photos at the moment:banghead:

Hello everyone, In anticipation of my new plants turning up this friday,I think this is the perfect time to start my very first journal. The tank itself is a very old Juwel,well when i say old thats because i've had this tank over 10 years and it was a hand me down when I got it!So im not new...
