Scape corner

So added some new duces I got from daveslaney and bobitis syphoned all the sand out and replaced cleaned the rocks moved a couple of bits around and had a good clean also the flux diffuser broke again that is the second one now in 10 weeks always seems to be after it's been in the bleach solution as 20190610_225216.jpg 20190610_225303.jpg per instructions co2 art replaced the first one hopefully they will replace again but I don't hold out much hope has anyone else had this issue? So back to the neo for now
 
Looks in great shape, there’s buces all over in there looking super healthy.
Cheerio,
 
Well co2 art are going to replace the flux for the second time that has surprised me they also offered a full refund or to replace it with an in line diffuser but I already have one of those and don't really like the way your co2 has to be so high to achieve the 30ppm so going to take the replacement and see how it goes
Cheers for looking guys and your input is very much appreciated by this noob any suggestions are welcome
Thanks
Jay
 
So the scape corner is taking shape the second scape is filled after a dry start that I didn't really enjoy but with a lot of help and good advice from.steve at AG today its planted and filled now the work begins cant wait for it to grow in let me know what you think 20190617_214059.jpg
 
The two shapes look good together - you’ve used the same cabinets (I think)

when you look closely there not that healthy they arrived in a bit of a state to be honest I'm hoping a lil love and care they will bounce back

as long as the rhizome is firm, they should be fine (especially with CO2 and good flow etc)
Buces seem to melt for inexplicable reasons (though my extremely soft water may be a contributing factor)

:sorry: for the multiple posts
(IOS seem a reluctant cooperator after some forum upgrades)

The rhizomes where ok on most there was a lot of buces so had to take the good with the bad there was alge and holes in the leaves on most but they seem.to be perking up nicely now new growth seems healthy just slow

No I asked about the lazy dsm for it I wish I hadn't done a dry start or the lazy dry start the mc was in the tank when I brought it second hand again not in good shape very neglected full of alge and melt but I hate throwing anything away so I gave it a go for 5_6 weeks but got impatient on Sunday as it was going mouldy so flooded it and went to AG for plants today
 
The duces before they went in


They don't actually look that bad

Let's see how she goes any comments and thoughts welcome and a quick pic of the other scape corner tank needs a trim but seems to be just about balanced and takes care of its self now days though 15621868923245964147770901072827.jpg
 
Looking good @Jayefc1

Not a fan of DSM personally, but good to try these things for yourself. Hope round two works out better.
 
Yeah it is mate I dont think il try it again I can see its advantages I can also its disadvantages I just think I've lost 8 weeks of transition time and growth but it is what it is
