N1CK Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I like your strait line of glosso in the first pic can't wait for algae growth Yes, I said it... :oops: WHAT!!!!!!!!!, how could you :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Yes, I like my little army of Glosso too. Hoping that it survives and rights its self. Half the leaves are buried but if I take them out, the plants will float :-? The more algae on those rocks, the duller they'll get, meaning better pics. Or I could wait for my Riccia to grow a bit more and tie some of that to the rocks. Not too keen on Java moss but if I have to, I will.

Jennifer Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 LMAO I am loving this thread - you guys are a riot!! :bounce: BTW Sam, the tank is looking great, I can just picture where it will be in a month or two. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Haha! :lol: Thanks Jennifer, this has been quite a fun thread so far. If the Glosso grows, I'll be stoked. I've currently got the lights at the very front of the tank. I figure the Hairgrass and Rotala doesn't need as much light and the Glosso should get as much as possible. Hoping to move the 4 young wagtail platies in tomorrow afternoon. :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Haven't updated in a while :oops: but here it is: I'm not bothering with any macro shots, these pics are bad enough. Might use Mum's decent camera some time, maybe some long exposure shots. Plants are still scruffy but Rotala is growing fast, hairgrass hasn't done much but the Glosso is putting its roots down . Moved the wagtails in some time ago and the BN's not long after that. All is going well, got some healthy algae growth too 8) but when I tried to tie a little bit of Riccia to a rock, most of it was gone by morning. Will have to get more from the 54L and use a net or something. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamH Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 And yes, it is Rotala (rotundifolia). Used the better camera and got some better shots *shock*: ISO was at 100 I think, nice and slow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
