Happy New Year everyone. It’s time for a new scape, a no serious one. I bought two bags of Ada Amazonia version 2, one bag of powersand type S advanced.
First attempt, then destroyed it
Second and final scape.
Filled up, and cycled, and planted after one week.
I do like observing plants transforming from emersed to submerged growers, therefore I used all potted plants.
Crypts tends to melt in new tank, so I let them floating in few days. My recommendation to you that do not plant them right after you scape. Cycle your tank first, wait few weeks for bacteria colony to settle, then you can plant them. Crypt will not melt and die.
I keep my tank lit up to 11 hours per day with one hour break in the middle. Co2 injection is roughly around 3bps. Few days after planted.
One week old
