Missed the one year, thirteen month, fourteen month update really. Tank got a bit cramped and unkempt after the new year:
Wasn’t short of super red that’s for sure.
Did a tear out after the new year and keeping the planting up since. Mainly for friends who have new setups on the way in the interim. Tank is pretty packed at the mo.
Still doing large water changes to manage K and keep other parameters honest:
Still running a green drop checker:
Still running a low level of surface agitation and flow:
TPN+ works well with S. repens for form and stem is almost woody:
Buce needs thinning out and showing the odd sign that dosing is lacking:
Finally conceded at fourteen months and placed some root tabs:
Not many though, twelve for the whole tank. Should increase availability but bottom plus is nitrate and micros so we’ll see how things sit this month. Only running 6ml per day of TPN+ and eyeballing additional K input. Keeps trucking and new growth seems alright even after a trim and replant:
The first two are planted into the sand and Pinnatifida is planted onto wood so all are getting by with water column availability. Some early warning should anything go awry. Just the Buce kicking up a fuss.
Hope you’re enjoying your tanks and your hobby 😎
