Lljdma06's Nano; Scape #2 8/09 - 3/10

[lljdma06]

Looks awesome, im drooling over the prospect of this one lol.

Adam

Thanks Adam. I'm getting better with it. Things need to fill in, but I'm encouraged by new leaves in the Nesea and the Myrio. If I can get those plants to survive, then I'm set.

Lol I've broken 4 diffusers, onlu 5 left to go

We should keep a tally on who breaks the most. I bet I'll catch up with you right quick. I'm a terrible clutz.

[aaronnorth]

It was very easy. I dropped it on the sink while I was changing the 4dkh solution. My hands were wet. I told you I was a clutz. I imagine more will be broken in the future.

Actually, I'll probably break the diffuser in the course of this tanks life too, though it's a pollen type diffuser, so it looks a bit more tough. I'm not good with glass.

It is what it is.

More pictures! I took these yesterday.

Looking great

 

[Geoff1991]

Looks fantastic. I have some glass lily pipes coming, i just hope i dont break them...

 

[cheesy feet]

Of course you will, of course you will

 

[Jallen]

That's a lot of variety in plant life, must be nice to watch it grow.

I'm not good with glass.

Do not let this person near your fishtanks unless you want a wet carpet people.

I dont even see how people can break a diffuser, let alone a drop checker, my rhinox seems pretty solid! probably even survive if i trod on it

good luck llj

Oh you two are impossible. I will wait patiently for the day when you two break your glassware. Then I shall gloat in your journals with much glee. Because, of course, now that you've mentioned it, it will happen.

Be careful...

I love the hydrocotyle too. There are so many bubbles under the leaf. Can't believe that plant came from my yard. Pretty awesome. It is growing well. I might have some to swap soon.

[Geoff1991]

Just thought id let you know ive installed my lily pipes without breakage...

...

 

[cheesy feet]

I used to have some hydrocotyle leucocephala (sp) in my 10 gallon, nice little herb (think that's what it actually was?), looked very similar to what you have.

This tank is undergoing, the "I am just growing plants phase" of development. The HC didn't like this tank, I think there was too much light. It is doing much better in my 10g. I'll post a couple pictures of this tank soon. The drop checker is always a nice green and I'm up to 3ml of TPN+ each day. A little guzzler. I also do waterchanges 3x a week. Plants that are doing well

Hydrocotyl verticillata
marsilea minuta
Fissidens frontalis
Myriophylum species
Rotala rotundifolia
anubias
Nymphaea
HM
Bacopa
the new one. I cannot remember the name. Oh yeah, mint charlie. A semi-aquatic from South Florida.
Moss wall, absolutely fantastic.

Plants doing okay, not great, but okay.

Nesea
susswassertag

I added 6 otos initially, but am now down to three. petshop owner really handled them roughly so I wasn't surprised.

I'll take some photos, I promise. I like the tank. It's not the exact scape I want at this moment, but it's about growing plants now, not scaping.
