In the video on page 4 what is the name of the plant at the front right?

Love that wood! The right side looks nice, but the far left is a bit dark perhaps, missing something? Just a thought. Lovely healthy plants by the looks of it, which is half the battle.

the back is a little dark, i like the a. ulvaceuos, but it is getting a bit too big, and shading out the back, i will work on it, maybe trim it hard to get it to stay a bit smaller...

the "white drip" is actually a crypt in the front and the back streaming bubbles 😛 if you click on the pic for the larger view you can see...

update time

no changes, just growing in...



glosso is growing slowly, starting to look pretty natural, i am still letting everything grow where i put it or where it has sprouted on its own..

Loving all the scapes. Looks like my kind of tank and inspiring for my Rio 125 I should be starting shortly.

Very nice, love the jungle and the Torpedos.

 

[wearsbunnyslippers]

thanks sanj!

i have taken the wood out, it was using up valuable stem real estate. i know i was going for a lower maintenance scape, but i can't say no to new stems...

Looks really nice. Very colourful looking too. Are you still using 8 x 45 watts? If so which lights/units do you have. I have the juwel 450 and want more lighting

 

[wearsbunnyslippers]

thanks alistair!

up until sunday i was only using 4x54w.

i switched another two on when i took out the wood and added more stems..

i use the regular juwel light fitting that came with two t5's, and then i added another 3 dual ballasts, i just rest the tubes on the braces.. if i am not using the lights, the connections just hang down the back..

What are the long leafed cyrpts on the left and side?

 

[wearsbunnyslippers]

i think they are c. becketti

 

[Bobtastic]

Thanks!
