Very nice, you have the Midas touch when it comes to plants.

Thanks, but I don't have much to do with this tank since setting it up.

This is all credit to the client, with maybe a little nudge in the right direction...

Whats the maintenance? I see the anubias is flowering, don't seem to do very well with them, Perhaps they prefer a tall tank, less light reaching the bottom.

Maintenance is 1/3 WC per week. 2x 5ml TPN+ per week.

The lily needs a good prune every week too...



Other than that, very little.

The usual monthly filter clean, algae off glass etc. CO2 is direct into filter so is maintenance-free.

Right, simple pimple. That lily quality

Hey, that looks very lovely, George. I like it a lot. I'm sure your client adores it. The lily will eventually experience a die-off, it is kind of similar to aponogetons in that respect. It'll take a while though, mine was nearly a year old when it started doing this. It came back with a vengeance, but I really got sick ok pruning Lily leaves (you can take a seat and literally watch them grow sometimes), so it went into the little fountain I've got outside.

I really like the bare substrate in the front. Funny, we almost have our wood and rocks in similar positions, exect you have both wood and rocks and I just have wood. A lot more wood.

I'm glad I took a look, I hadn't seen this tank in a while.

Wow, that lily does it! That red touch makes it a really nice tank. Love it!

HOw come your silica sand is so beige coloured? Mine has the colour of the sandy beach of Cancun!

Bloody hell, the growth is amazing, looks fantastic. My Rad Lilly never seems to go that red. Im wondering if my lighting is the problem...currently using the stock 2 Juwel 18w bulbs.

Those lilies love low light - mine was superbly coloured in my 1wpg tank, I think they appreciate an iron-rich substrate to give the best colouration though there are a few species of them and many are more green etc.
