when it recovers i will. After any trimming, what's beneath, always looks a bit sickly until the new crowns develop. 8)

You know its lovely, lush and healthy...BUT what is Savannah? I never really thought about it, but now im going to be a*n*l because im in that mood... :twisted:

Savannah means golden; its Sanskrit root and hence golden Savannah grasslands. But this is lush green edge of forest. Maybe its Savannah after the rains. Yeah anyway, it doesnt matter ofcourse. 😛

i try sometimes to name the tank from the opposite side to reality. The 'dreaming' part is a savannah, dreaming of being green.

same with my 'miracle mire' tank. A mire isn't nice, but then a miracle happens.

Ah ok. 🙂

cheers chaps :thumbup:

I've had to change a few things.If i'm to keep this tank for another 8 weeks, the lighting needed to be changed.

My lighting, I thought was @ 7 hours a day. I then looked and found it was on for 8.(just 2 x 54wt5)

I've now gradually lowered that to 6 hours per day and lowered the intensity by raising the lighting unit slightly.

well, as promised another trim of HC. Boy this tank is challenging.

trim after trim after trim.I'm also not happy with the layout. stem choice, placement and so on. I'll see it through, but I cant wait for the next tank. :shh:

here's after the HC trim tonight.

Could be a huge work to trim it this way. How is your arm? 😀

cheers fellas. It's not often I use the white. The black makes the greens more vivid.

remember guys, all of the stems have no crowns currently so it should improve in a few weeks. I do prefer just trimmed hc though...much tighter looking.

here's how the crypt looks.
