A 90cm New Beginning

My water is hard too harry ph 7.6 mate the thing is they like good flow and lots of co2 I think they wouldn't grow for me planted but on the wood they have taken off
Cheers

Not too much to report this week, just completed a large water change and trimmed some of the stems, also moved a couple of stems of Hygrophila Pinnatifida to the wood to see how it does. still getting a bit of Crypt melt as expected and a few diatoms but other than it's looking good so far. The Hydrocotyle tripartita Mini is doing well on the wood and growing fast. Next weekend i will be popping into @Aquarium Gardens for some more plants as i want to get some ferns higher up in the scape, i think it will add some much needed balance. I will also be adding the algae crew next weekend.

It’ll be interesting to see how it grows as you gradually turn the light up. I wonder if it’ll go gradually tighter.....?!
Yes hopefully it will be more compact once the intensity goes up.

wow! fantastic colours. either amazing plants or camera

Just taken on my Samsung phone, will try to get some more professional shots at the weekend after maintenance. :thumbup:
 
So after another visit to @Aquarium Gardens today i returned with some more plants and an army of shrimp, the plants were more of the same but i also added some Bucephalandra Caterina to the collection. So a big maintenance session followed with more plants and algae crew consisting of 30 - 40 shrimp, Amanos and Cherrys, 3 Ottos and 3 very small Siamensis added. This is where we are now...
