Tropical Bay

Hi Luis

I love your scape, congrats on making such a beautiful aquascape. I really love your mosswork inside the tank. I
 
Wow there is nothing to say about this tank. It will not look amiss in the ADA gallery if you ask me. Are you still running 2-3 bps of CO2? That's quite little CO2 for a tank this size and with that much light and plant mass. Did you scrub your rocks clean or added new rocks? I'm currently wondering what to do with the rocks in my tank, which are covered in red algae.

Hi, well the co2 buble on this moment are hard to count 😉 but i think that they must be around of 4-5 bps.
The rocks color are a result of some changes on the tank:
- Adjust on the fertilization, added Easy Carbo once per week
- Change of the light unit
- Twinstar Nano +

Guys.. maybe you dont´ know but here my friend Luis is on 215 IAPLC World ranking 🙂

I have strong reasons to believe that in 2016 he´ll be competing in Top 10!
 
Hi Luis, this is excellent! I've been searching for inspiration for my next tank and think I have just found it!

Would you mind listing out your plants and moss again along with what is where in the tank?

Thanks.
 
excellent transformation from the first planting to the final shot. really enjoyed that.

did you scrub the rocks at all when you added the twinstar? the use of easy carbo once a week i wouldn't put the cleaning down too. it is only really active for 24 hours as far as i knew.... if this is mostly the twinstar i'd put that down to one of the best adverts ive seen yet for this well discussed and slightly controversial product.

also eager to know the moss type. the growth is lovely. weeping?

best regards,
John

Yes twinstar helped but the adjust of fertilization and the change of the light have influence too.
