si_sphinx Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I haven't had the co2 running on the tank for a week now because it ran out after 4 months. So I stopped dosing ferts and reduced the lighing period to 6 hours a day and I have noticed a big difference in fish behaviour. The snowball plecos seem to be out a lot on the front glass. If you look close enough to the photo above it shows the gravel pushed back from the glass from one end of the tank to the other where the pleco has moved along it. I will hopefully get the co2 going again next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

si_sphinx Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 I had a new interest in the tank today so moved a few things around. There is also a heap new discus to look at and make the tank look awesome :thup: I no longer dose the ferts I have. I found the fish weren't very happy, even with weekly water changes and dosing less was pointless. 2 months later and the tank is growing fine without. I have pulled out all the star grass, I got anoyed with it over growing so fast. moved a few pieces to the right side of the tank. Now a carpet of riccia has replaced the star grass. I pulled out all the bigger dwarf sag from the right side and distributed the dwarf chain sword a bit more to help it fill it easier. As usual... lots of photos. I prefer to post pictures than write about it. I had a fan watching too :slfg: "Wasn't me... those scratches were already there, Honest". This is what I see from my couch. I really need to put some better hanging wires on the light hood instead of rope :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirt Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 love the riccia carpet! Would be awesome to make a complete carpet with it. Nice border collie too :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si_sphinx Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 love the riccia carpet! Would be awesome to make a complete carpet with it. Nice border collie too :thup: I could easily do it, it grows so fast in this tank, but the plecos like to get underneath it and pull it out or off of what ever it is attached to.
