[minnnt]

Thanks Caz. I have doubled the dosage over the last 4 or 5 days and have noticed a vast improvement.

Very nice mate... plants are looking really healthy

Looking great Minnt, 2 spot still seems grumpy.

[minnnt]

He is indeed grumpy. I think he is missing his old sparring partners.

This is looking fantastic....and no CO2? That's excellent. Keep doing what you're doing, 'cos it's obviously working

Think one of my favourite bits is that piece of wood going right over the top with the moss on it - really adds to the jungle feel

Have you done anything with your stem plants when they reach the top, some of my cabomba must have grown about 4" longer than the top of the tank and is falling over now not sure what I should do with it..

Ahh thank's for som reason I'd not seen that before!

 

[minnnt]

Towards the middle? Yeah I have halved it now and replanted it near the back. Then replanted the bottom half near the back corner hoping it may sprout a new bit that I can whip off and use as a new plant.

 

[minnnt]

Also removed decaying leaves from the swords which has left a big hole that I need to fill.

 

[stu40]

deficient or just dead?

 

[minnnt]

They were turning brown mate, unsure why, maybe adjusting to my water? Over the period of about 2 weeks. Everything else seems to be thriving though.

If you're after more crypts have you tried......Pets @ Home...
Mine do 3 Tropica pots for a £10.got approx 9 plants in each pot

 

[minnnt]

Yeah i have a look everytime i go in. The plants are the best bits in there. lol. May have to pay a trip tomorrow, althought after adding a few more stems from my shrimp tank and 3 small crytps from a fellow member (FeV) i am unsure as to whether or not i could accomodate them?

 

[stu40]

mate, if you're going to call it a jungle, you cannot have too many plants....
