The sails

Last weekend I collected this plant at my grandparent house. Frankly I don't know its name. Only thing I know is that its divisio is Pteridophyta

I can say this plant is very popular among local hobbyists and they can be found everywhere

I like the "Strangler Fig" as well, I've just read <"Ladders to Heaven: How Fig Trees shaped our history">, a good read.

It's a Muntingia calabura. This tree grows on top of a wall.

The main fern growing out of the wall looks like a species from the genus Pteris.
Something like <"Pteris ensiformis">.

I took the picture last year while I was on my way to the office 🙂 What I like about it is that it's hardy and still thrives under extreme summer

Thanks. I want to experience as much as I can. You have to risk sometimes to learn. The last things you will get are plants that suit you most

Local hobbyists and proscapers are doing very well to promote this hobby. In fact we meet so often to discuss and talk. And we share the same spirit. Try and accept the failure but never make it twice 😀 There are many means to communicate today such as phone, mail, social media, forum... but there is nothing better than a good face to face, a real human, meet. It gives us a real life

The fern is adapting quickly with new environment. See young leaf is getting matured

I had problems with floating particles. Water looked very disturbing. The root cause of it was that Eheim classic 250 inlet is too short. It couldn't syphon all particles near tank bottom. If I hadn't taken any action, it would eventually cause BBA

Two days ago I purchased a monster Fluval FX6 (ouch!). Took the 250 out, installed Eheim Classic 600 in the former 250 position and FX6 in former 600 position. After 8 hours it fixed the floating debris issue. And here is the result after 1 day and half. So far so good

You can try using some wavemaker to improve the flow movement as well. Your tank is big, so it might need more flow movement to bring nutrient around.

I thought of it before purchasing FX6. Thing is 250 and 600 couldn't work effectively then I opted for FX6. Better flow and better filtration 😀

I made moss trimming last night. Pretty ugly for filming now. Let's wait for a couple of days

You probably like to film "before and after" condition, too. Haha! I personally like seeing the transformation of tank from time to time.
