what? glossa? no idea... if not oh well.. they where pretty cheap.. everything is growing good.. they where much smaller 1 week ago.. they pretty much have all rooted.

Looking good think glosso might struggle in that substrate but guess its a case of wait and see!

I am thinking off adding sand..

 

[CBBP]

Well I did a few things.. I cut the Cabomba and took out all the huge rocks so the cories will see each other and school instead of hide all day in the rocks. (dont worry! they still have hiding places in the plants when they want to hide! I even have soem big rocks back there for them to sit in!. I also added soem Riccia and placed the recovered chainsowrd back in the tank. I also added a catcher for all the duckweed so it doe snot shade anythign but the wisteria.

Does the daylight coming through the window at the back cause any problems? Algae?

Whoa! I was wondering when someone was going to ask that! I usually keep it closed but when I have it open it becomes the SAEs favorite wall. so I suppose so but I never really see much more then what is already there. Snails love that side of the tank too. As for plants gettign algea, not really.

okay.. picturews witrh aqua soil.. :eek5: still have a constant of 4ppm.. I am begining to think it is a fake level.. :icon_eek: My fish wouold certainly be dead or looked stressed. not lookign for food. my Cories barbels would totally be eatten away by now and the blakc neons would be dead. Also, Prime doe snot remove it where as it usually zaps NH4 completely. also, i have done water changes and the level still reads 4 even thoguh it should be 2ppm after a water change. :icon_eek:

anyway pictures...
