22 gal Mr.Aqua

Here's a picture of the moss 23 days ago. You can see that the fissidens has already begun its decline. The only fert I was adding was iron.

This weekend I'm going to scrape the sides and trim dead plant material, vacuum the substrate, and treat with Excel. With a 19-38 li. R/O water change hoping it will help. Will also dim and shorten light period.

This weekend I scraped the sides and trimmed dead plant material, vacuumed the substrate, and treated with Excel. With a 20 li. R/O water change hoping it will help. Also dimmed and shortened light period. Here's the result:

Fissidens recovering after stopping over fertilizing and H2O2 treatment on Sunday. Now have been treating with 3x Excel for 4 days.

Well the bleached ember tetra kicked the bucket. Still have five of the original six and they all look healthy. The bleaching was what caught my attention. I'll keep a weather eye out

After spending many hours and lots of bad words attempting to tie small plants on with thread and trembling fingers, I have finally purchased some cyanoacrylic adhesive which is still difficult with shaky hands so I enlisted my wife's help and now a formerly bald root has anubias and fissidensgrowing on it. (hope the anubias roots will eventually hide the white glue. Wish they'd make it in a dark color. Wonder if you could add color when you squeeze it out?

[Rob Dahl]

Many thanks Roy. I appreciate the encouragement. Are your getting started again?

 

[Greenfinger2]

Hi Rob. Yes Mate 3 new projects on the way. Its finding the time at the moment I have the plants and the materials for the set ups. Starting to clear out the old projects then on to the new 🙂

 

[Manisha]

[Rob Dahl]

Thank you EdwinK, dw1305, tim, Mannish, Nelson& Madhav. As I said to Roy, I appreciate your comments.

Plant selection and placement made your tank look much bigger than it actually is. Your tetra looks massive when I assume it as 60-70 gal. Tank...nice tank
