SamH Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 are you willing to admit the lighting may have something to do with that? :lol: Nevarr! We'll see how the remaining glosso does. The glosso grew fine, algae just took hold. Hopefully the polyperma will use nutrients before the algae can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Took some photos of the LHS about 15mins ago and of the rapidly growing polyperma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Also, because I just turned the lights on the fighters were still and sleepy, perfect for photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zev Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 That diffuser is one ugly piece of kit..... *runs and hides in small defensible cave holding ginger cat in entrance way as a deterrent* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1CK Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 why is the bottle still in the pic? :roll: again plzkthnx @scottie I think thats one of the ones from his spawns, dunno if you will be able to get her off his hands :lol: @Zev you forgot the pointy stick!, he's scared of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Nah, he would never harm a cat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 You're lucky I like cats... :lol: It's not overly noticeable, I have a new plan for a smaller and more efficient one pulling on ideas from N1CK and maoripho3nix. LOL N1CK, I just can't ship but yeah, I do adore her I fear the pointed stick much less than the ban hammer (yes, I know you're hiding it somewhere Zev ) why is the bottle still in the pic? :roll: again plzkthnx Because If I take it out all my CO2 will escape...

phoenix44 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 It's not overly noticeable yes. not overly noticeable.... to the blind. $10 diffuser! come one. will be way better. plus those plants don't really need CO2 to grow. polysperma will grow flat to the ground with strong light and CO2.

SamH Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 $10 diffuser! come one. will be way better. Sure, if you buy one for me polysperma will grow flat to the ground with strong light and CO2. Now that'd be cool. If only I had strong light :-?

N1CK Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Sam I'm sure you can find $10 somewhere! then you can have pretty little bubbles floating around (or at least hide it as much as possible when you are taking pic's it's ogly as numerous things that shall not be named) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer DIY, I'll make a better one, not that it matters. It is MY tank after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1CK Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Post that ogly DIY diffuser thing in TPT... .. I dare you and how high is your sag/grass stuff on the left going to get eventually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 If you read the whole thread instead of diving in, you'd know that the "sag/grass stuff on the left" is Lilaeopsis, it should stay that height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1CK Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I probably read it at some ungodly hour and forgot what I had read and even though its probably already in here is there glosso on the patch on the right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 and even though its probably already in here is there glosso on the patch on the right? Good boy, one goldstar for you. Wait, minus 10 for dissing my diffuser. Total stands at -9 right now :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maoripho3nix Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Haha here we go about the diffuser. :lol: You guys need to remember that not everyone on here can reach into their last $30 and just use 10 (or even a dollar) of it on a diffuser, finding a DIY way is cheaper and can be just as good. 9/10 you will have stuff lying around i.e a soda bottle which would suffice for cheap DIY equipment. And as Kiwis, its in our blood to use ingenuity to create something with our own hands and junk rather than buying something made in china or germany :lol: :lol: After all thats why we have a DIY section, its our ingenuity expressed to others to help them complete a task of similar goals. Yes some people would suggest jamming it into the intake to save the hassle. Somethings are harsh on the eyes of the enthusiast compared to newbies with a goal. But we all gotta start somewhere. No doubt the end goal here is to have the plants flourishing nicely. SamH has started with an idea and the idea will develop. People have different ideas or views on how they want "their" tank setup. IMO it gives you a visual of what is actually happening, easier to study, watch etc and for others to say..... Whats that for?? Good idea. We'll see how this method goes for now, H. polysperma is already pearling And it still works the same :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Well said maoripho3nix I will reduce the bottle size and try to move it to a less obvious place, the position it's at now was just putting the least amount of strain on the outlet pipe. Remember that this tank is new, therefore quite barren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamH Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 But if you used two juice bottles full of CO2 you wouldn't need a diffuser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 No one noticed my new plant addition :lol: I'll give a free photo of ANY angle of the tank to who ever can spot what I added. Here's some clues, it's small, nothing special and visible in the picture N1CK quoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
