I wish my HC caught so fast, I can't wait to see it come together, Mark. A fiver says mine does better in ADA next year.

If you got nothing better to do you can come and setup a tank for me 😛 Keep your mind of missing the wife and kid 😉
Tank is looking good 🙂

not at all. it's not my thinking. it's oliver knott's i saw a vid and tried it....it works a treat.

Re: saintly's son try's his hand

goodness, Marsilea hirsuta grows fast doesn't it?....i planted it in 1 inch long stalks, just like oliver knott does, and already i've got new 1 inch long stems with leaves opening up. i've used this to add accent to areas and is one of many new plants for me, so exciting time s for me at least.

1 ludwigia species is already near broke the surface, so it's trim time already

i've also got runners of tennellus, the quickest i've ever had them in fact

Re: saintly's son try's his hand

well, i've added the shrimp. there are 10 in all. one is huge and i found that the others like to take a ride. they also clean him/her. see the pic.

also the other pic is of the pearling amd the Marsilea hirsuta. the shoot you see has grown in 4 days.

thanks for at least looking 😀 no flash just yet.
