10 days in and back to work tomorrow so time for an update.
Finally got the Co2 working again so first day of Co2 back in tank 👍 now running profile again to get levels back steady.
Have completed a 50% water change daily so getting to be an expert at rolling that pipe out 😂
Had some stems and floaters from the lovely
@John q and
@aec34 on Friday so they are all settling in.
Got a little growth showing here and there on some of the faster growing plants and the moss is starting to fluff up, but lighting is still low so not expecting things to go rampant on me. The only plant that has really suffered is the Monte Carlo. Not doing so bad where planted in soil though not fabulous, but completely melted on the rocks and has now been removed.
Might try again though once the tank settles a bit and Co2 is consistent.
Little bit of melt on a couple of the crypt parva but the wendtii tropica are still looking good.
No algae as yet, just some white fungus on the wood, which is to be expected.
I’ve upped the lighting on the left hand side to 50% from 40% as the substrate level over that side is so much lower down and I thought it might help the planted Monte Carlo out a little, but will hold at this level now for a while and let things stabilise.
All round fairly happy with things and thanks again to John and Amy for their generous plant parcels. 😊
