thanks llj, the glosso has since been trimmed.

Probably the best thing i have bought in a while...I had embarrassingly dirty lily's.

More magical bendiness

I would have been frightened to death of breaking them. Lol.

I've got that doo-da, it's great

Where did you get your lily's dude? Mine were a real awkward shape and the flow went straight to the substrate, where as yours look like they push out more than mine did?

they were from a german company, i got given them, they work loads better.

i planted some 1-2 grow Staurogyne repens in the Glosso to break it up a little a few weeks ago and i can't begin to tell you how impressed i am with this stuff. I have used it in it's potted form previously and this stuff just wipes the floor with the pots. It's remained so compact...love the stuff

I need to get given better stuff. Good to see the reviews on the 1-2 grow stuff.

 

[Ps3Steveo]

It is good stuff mate, my Staurogyne has nearly completely carpeted mine and its been in there about a month.

Looking good Ian.

Great photo as always. How's the nano and LFS tank coming along?

Tis quality stuff, well worth the price as you get loads more than a pot as well.

yeah agree, this stuff has spread like wildfire, much more so than the potted stuff did.

Looking good Ian.

thanks mate, the nano is as much as a grow out tank at the moment with the green rasboras in. I am planning on doing something with it soon though. The lfs tank ins doing alright, although it's going to be ripped down soon to make way for a TMC sponsored scape.

 

[minnnt]

By you? Nice!

 

[ian]

yes mate, it should be good, it's going to be nothing groundbreaking though as the shape of the tank dictates it all.

Just thought i'd add a 2 min vid of the TMC Grobems ramping down (sad i know). There's no vids on Youtube of this, so i need a million hits!

You can see the way your eyes adapt to the lowering of the light as it doesn't appear to really do anything until it completely goes dark.

Now that's a nice little feature.

 

[Ps3Steveo]

That's pretty good man, might prevent jumpers, my Lampeyes looked like they had an electric shock when my lights used to go out.

 

[ian]

you're right Steve, since having the controller there has only been 1 jumper.

It's nice to sit and watch as well.

 

[DrRob]

Do they come with the dimming as standard or is that with the separate control unit?
