Aracnabat Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 I have had my 4 footer up and running for a couple of months now so I though I would post up some progress photos. Tank Dimesions: 122cm x 46cm x 46cm Current Stocking: 24 Neon Tetra 2 Common Bristlenose 4 Peppered Cory (adding more soon) Around day 1: A few days later: First lot of stems planted (still in the middle of cycling): Just after Bristlenoses were added: How it looked a couple of weeks ago. Pretty much still looks like this other than the plants are slightly taller and an outbreak of BBA (I think) on the driftwood: I haven't had any losses so far and the Corys spawned the second night I had them so all seems well so far. :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totara Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 That looks really good! I love the aquascape and when the plants get a bit bigger it will look even better. What lighting etc are you running? Any dosing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovmoller Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Looks great! I love how the duckweed is only a few specks in the first photo but a blanket in the last. Oh Duckweed... :love: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aracnabat Posted October 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 That looks really good! I love the aquascape and when the plants get a bit bigger it will look even better. What lighting etc are you running? Any dosing? Lighting is two 36w T8 tubes on for 6 hours a day. I have a third one on stand by just in case. Not dosing any ferts at the moment but I am looking into it. No CO2 either but I am dosing with Excel in the hope it helps with the BBA. Looks great! I love how the duckweed is only a few specks in the first photo but a blanket in the last. Oh Duckweed... :love: Yeah I'm not sure if I'm regretting my decision to leave it in there (it was a hitchhiker on the java moss). It has take off in the last couple of weeks.

Ira Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 It's easy enough to scoop off the surface every once in a while, I've never had much luck "breeding" it though, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
