 That's such an amazing sight, jealous
 
When I had my first little ten gallon with a couple dinky plants, they were pearling one morning, and even before I knew what it meant I absolutely loved it    Maybe one day.................................

Just updated my stem order. Im now expecting 140 stems lol im like a kid in a candy store i cant help myself.
On order is...
10 Hygrophila Rosanervis
10 Red Nesaea
30 Ludwigia Repens
10 Ludwigia Glandulosa
10 Hygrophila Polysperma
10 Red Combomba Piauhyensis
50 Limnophila Sessiliflora - Ambulia &
10 Rotala Indica

Canceled Water Wisteria

All the plants iv always wanted to grow but couldnt because they had higher demands like high light or pressurised co2.
No holding me back now

Day 3 of co2 switch on and iv already notice a huge difference. Plants are growing extremely fast and healthy! Like there turbo charged.
Even my Anubias has flowered. Co2 seems extremely stable, so glad I spent that little extra more on my reg. Well worth the extra £££

Well small update. My big plant order should be here on friday XD
Altho my leds have been delayed again
Out of fear that my current lighting wont support all the red plants iv ordered, I went out and bought some new brighter T5s for my exsisting lighting. All my plants have been pearling like crazy today. Well happy.
Just hope they are enough to keep my reds going until my leds turn up.

Hey SLIM, not checked in for a while when you went above my head with CO2 so thought when I had a child free moment I'd catch up so I can concentrate lol! (You know what it's like)

I LOVED that video! Tank looked awesome then! You are so organised under the tank, it's awesome. I like the fishey notes on the left cupboard door, I imagine you have a check list, or instructions for the Mrs

How's it all coming along?

I can't believe you binned all that vallis!! I need to buy a load for my 180 litre - have started another journal, it's all gone wrong lol!

Looking forward to the next video

Have a fab weekend! X

So ok quick update.
My big stem plant order arrived and the tank has now had a bit of a re scape. Planted all the stems to give it a splash of color and texture and had a little move around with a couple of existing plants.
A lot of the plants like the 50 Ambulia are not very visible at the mo as they are planted at the back behind the hardscape and have some growing to do yet.
Here are a few pics. Let me know what you think..
 
Better or do you prefer it with the vallis?? Opinions please
