Algae is rife, but fairly certain this is mainly filamentous diatoms. Everything is growing, and I’ve got a lot more colour in the floaters after doubling my dosing.
Sun is now hitting the side of the tank, so some algae on glass too.
Algae isn’t as bad as it has been, daily 20l water changes and a toothbrush gets most of it. However the algae in the moss is a little harder to remove. Its proven to be a good spawning spot though. I suspect in a week, this will be much better looking.
As for fish, they’re fine. Been meaning to buy some more moss, will add that to my list. Proving to be more hungry these days, so getting fed twice a day.
A note on the wood; it’s tricky to clean. And in a few months it will be very fragile. Also because of how I’ve placed them, accessing glass isn’t easy. I will be snapping some branches.
I added the Eheim Liberty just as an extra filter after WC, does a good job removing some of the crap in the water.
Plants are doing alright, the original Vallis died back but new leaves are coming, and a runner has also appeared. The lily has reached the surface with two leaves, and another is 1inch from exposure. The Cryptocoryne Green Gecko is looking lovely.
Added some reject shrimp, they’ve gone untouched. Typical.
I’ll do another WC in a bit, and i’ll try and capture on macro some puffer eggs.
This isn’t a great photo, will take another later in the week with the proper camera.
