Day 8
Crypts melting and some CO2 changes and way of injection. I suspect I'll change CO2 to an inline when I can find one I like/trust. For now its going via a Rhinox 1000 under the inlet. Even this doesn't seem to be diffusing properly so an inline I suspect would work better.
Plants, the crypts are melting as mentioned above. I think they'll recover. Mini hair grass is anchoring down and opening up. Some are pearling. The anubis seems happy considering. The moss will kick off at some point and start growing. The gluing hasn't really worked in lots of places.
Water changes 25% every other day and 5ml TNC Complete every day.
Ended up doing a water change and a bunch of fry from the other tank came over so I fast matured the tank with filter media from Charlie Chi and added a bunch of immature endlers to test. They have been happy for days so added more each day, all happy. Moved a Snail over to see and it's good so ordered more snails and got a bunch of cherry shrimp on order.
Apart from some bacterial growth on the wood (now dead because of the mature filter media added five days ago) all I've got is a bit of brown spot growing on the glass and parts of the wood. The snails/shrimp combo should sort that along with the plants kicking into gear.
Lighting is the Chihiros on full power, 8 hours, 4pm-12am. CO2 running 2:30pm - 10pm.
Everything seems happy. Next challenge is to get the CO2 to diffuse properly and get the drop checker to drop
