Re: Kodama (??) - Wabi - Vid Added
Just been adding Pico Sized Bogwood to Kodama, and planting it up with Mosses and HC. The HC has suprised me the Most Leaving tiny sprigs placed onto the top of marimo balls has worked. And they have started to send out roots, so they are semi emersed. Just placing them into knooks on the Bogwood that are wet.
Also been scaping the outer rim of the dish with bogwood and Manzita from Steve.
Just trying to find a nice background to use to hide the wires and Co2 Bottle.

Love it, looks great.
This is a setup where you can really use the cheap Asian plants, or some crypts on the immersed area.
I really like the innovation of the filter, good one on that.

Re: Kodama (??) - Wabi - Vid Added
Thanks Luis. With the filter it just needed a bit of thinking. Could not use an Internal as no space for it. The Pico Powerhead did not give me much in the way of filtration. A traditional HOB was limited by the Inlet Downpipe. So used one i had modded to overcome the inner rim on an old tank. Took the Foot off and just have it freestanding on the Desk. I was using a section of a Biro as a bridge between the piping and the Original Inlet, but this was reducing the flow too greatly. So just pushed the piping into the inlet as you can see in the Video.

It is good, very good.
Maybe manufacturers will develop a wabi filter, based on your design.

Just discovered a leak that has been going all night.
Found the Source, One of the Manzita Peices was drawing water out of the Wabi. Had placed it too close to the edge and one little curve touched the water.

Yep, I got a exxo terra with a fogger, will try to do some plants there. 30cm is enough to work with.

Today All is Good.
Wild Cherries have been shedding, Lots of isopods on the Glass. Clover has started to send out new shoots. Grass is Doing Great, All the Buds are pointing towards the light now. New creeping off the edge of the bowl.
Need to go to Poundworld (nice Big Store and handy 2 mins walk) and get some Bamboo Place matts - Going to use them as a backdrop to Hide wiring ond Co2 Bottle.

Re: Kodama (??) - Wabi - Vid - Grass ID'd
Only made it out the house long enough to post Steve his Mosquito Egg Sacs.
So will try again tommorrow, when I go say prayers at the Gurdwara. And PAH Have had a new delivery of Plants today, so really should not go and look at them, looking can't do any harm
.
If someone could wave a magic wand and take away Vertigo, that would be great.

Re: Kodama (??) - Wabi - Vid - Grass ID'd
Not made it out the house again, so took a vid using the Olympus 12mp Camera.
Still figuring things out with videos, but can't seem to add my own mp3 file to the vid. will figure it out eventually
Need to mention, that I am getting a bit of Surface Scum.
Now The way I have overcome this is as follows: I lifted the Inlet to a height whereby it created a Whirpool on the Surface. This sucked in all the Surafce skum and trapped it in the filter medium. Left it running like this for a few mintes till the surface of the water was clear.
