It’s always fun to spend a weekend talking aquariums with those that share your interests.

Agreed. The weekend exceeded my expectations and it seemed like it flew by far too fast. A great group of people and some of the brightest planted tank minds I know were there. If anyone has access to an event like this I strongly recommend making the effort to attend. It was well worth it for me.It’s always fun to spend a weekend talking aquariums with those that share your interests.

I have gone to many MACNA’s the marine version of the AGA meeting. You get to talk to people who are all in to the hobby. An do not roll their eyes when you spend all day talking about aquariums. Wish I could have come this year. But my wife’s health limits my travel now days.

Hi @Ed Wiser. Yes, that social aspect, as in meeting likeminded people in real-life, can really be a challenge in this hobby. Around here where I live in Minnesota there is not much of an organized aquarium community and the few people I know personally in this hobby are either into near plant-less tanks (big cichlids) or reef tanks. We do have a couple of pretty good serious aquarium stores around in the outskirts of Minneapolis though that always seems busy and I did mention to one of the owners that he should put in a bar so people can hang out for an adult beverage and talk hobby 🙂
Cheers,
Michael

Cabomba Furcata. Kind of a pain to maintain but worth the effort.

Thanks. It's also pearls like mad later in the day. I'll get a shot and post it.

Here's the latest. Currently targeting NO3 : PO4 : K at 30 : 10 : 40 in the water column. Everything seems to be on autopilot at those levels.

Looking great everything looking nicely spaced and very healthy. 😊 Nice to see a cabomba colour up well. 😊😊
Nice. Going Godzilla mode.
Surely at those levels you noticed an increased growth speed?

LOL it's not really THAT high. Keep in mind those are target numbers in the water column. Just boosted them slightly a while back.
And yes the plants grow fast. But also healthy and colorful and that's my primary goal. I can deal with the trimming. Cheap therapy for me!!

Looking really great! Especially jealous of your Pantanal.
Had no idea you were there! Will have to seek you out next time. 😁

Yep was a wonderful time and flew by much too quickly!

Are you still front loading those numbers?
GreggZ

Yes still front loading but just a little bit richer now.

Are you offering a mid week bump or ride it out through the next water change?

My water is all pre dosed in my RO storage tanks. Whether I change water in 3 days or 7 days, the new water coming in is always dosed to the same target. I don't dose any macros between water changes.
There is a reason. If you would like to know more I can elaborate.
