myfishybuisness Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Mine aren't quite there yet but by the weekend I should have 5 or 6 stems ready to be trimmed and replanted. I'll drop you a line when I've got some excess. sounds good, would you be able to drop them off im only 16 dont have a car, but that way i maybe able to give you some pointer for your tank and maybe some other plants i have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myfishybuisness Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 ok time for an update, today i remolded the tank, removed all the cabomba (70 stems around 30cm) and the two big ordinary amazon swords , also the funny looking little ones, moved 2 big runners of chain sword ( 10 plants ea) and finaly what i add i have attached some staghorn (is that the right name?) to the diftwood on the right side, add a large peice of shyest( if thats how you spell it ) to stop the chain sword from taking oiver and gives the fish a place to feed, also in the back right corner i have add some stones to make a raised effect , im going to plant it with val, also will be adding some crypts and some ambulia at a later stage sorry pics are a bit blury as i took pics as i went the amazon swords roots (peg to give an idea of the size ) after i pulled it out :facepalm: half of the cobomba raise rock garden in right corner where the other amazon swords were with shyest in now pic I took ten mins ago, has CLEARED UP ALOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GZ_Loach Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 What tubes are you using in your GLO fitting? I have sunlight and tropical, I have a feeling the "sunlight" tube isn't that good for plants as mine seem to go a crappy colour on the tops of them (although that might be coz its an aquaone tube) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Diffusers are prettier; reactors are probably far more efficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 You can also buy reactors from ebay if she has sold out. When my CO2 cylinder arrives I will be using a couple of those misters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
