Should also mention every other day the water pit as it is now known is drained then sprayed back into my dsm aquarium setup. my way of thinking is a replenish cycle. all those layers of different types of substrate along with ferts and powders are slowly draining to the pit and I am now using a filtered version to spray my plants and any excess is removed. Day one, plain ro water. Day two drained water sprayed back in.
Fingers crossed, next batch of plants will arrive tomorrow from pro shrimp. I normally buy from AG but lately they seem out of stock.
x2 pots Eleocharis acicularis mini 1-2 grow this will hopefully help break up a few hard areas in the foreground.
Going to give Microsorum pteropus Petite 1x pot from proshrimp a try high up in the wood stump. I'll secure the plant with a piece of heather wood and wedge into the stump so if it doesn't work I can easily remove.
I'll get some pics up when they arrive. might even get bold and video the final planting along wit a few bits and bobs from my fluval flex.
