last update
hey,
sorry for the poor pics(before after pics). it has been 8 weeks since the last update. Dosing has changed to 3x a week of micros, 1/8 teaspoon of KNO3 and rice grain of KH2PO4. Algae occurs on/off on the walls due to my poor estimation of the above amounts. lighting remains the same, just that on hindsight, i should have gotten 3x20watts(not readily available) or at least 3 x 18 watts. My 4x15watts because of its shortness, plants converge to the center. The tank has become a nursery comprising glosso, riccia, e. stelletas, HC (very new) blyxa japonica, D. Diandra Rotala (Macandra green?) L. Aromatica. On the outskirts (where my lights font fully cover) are teneluss and some crypts. only my ludwigia pantanal aint doing that fab. You can see the canopy formed by the stem blocks out the lgiht below. Will tear the whole thing apart and proceed with rescaping as soon as possible. cheers |

You using 4*18w FL For your 2ft? Don't you find it take up a lot of space for your tank and glosso always grow tall? Maybe you might want to try using 2*36W PL instead. The light intensity is much better and last longer than FL. I've tried FL on glosso but almost every mths the glosso will start to grow tall. only after I change to PL the glosso grow thick instead of tall.
