Hmmmm where are you getting some of those plants from dude.

you when they arrive >.> my patients is needed once again... starting to dislike HC

i got some blyxa off ebay sorry?

sand "track" down the middle or HC carpet?

 

[mike455555]

pic heavy update: finished planting it for tonight. i'll do some more tomorrow
opinions.... should i leave the "channel" down the middle sand or plant it with HC (repens is other side higher up and HC a little lower)

 

[Ps3Steveo]

I say leave the sand channel mate, they're under used in scapes.

Some vallis on the far left hand side would look great. Especially if it grows tall and 'floats' on the top of the water

oh and by the way... clean your glass

 

[mike455555]

maybe i was thinking staurogyne repens on the left on the "hill" then changing into HC at the front you cant see it will in the pic but theres hairgrass behind the wood.

i know it needs a clean.. but im still waiting on some plants to stick in it... seems silly cleaning it twice

Looking good dude , some nice healthy plants you got there .

most of them.. the one's i got from you are top quality (no suprize there) the HC could do with a little TLC though... DIY co2's no good when you forget to change the bottle for a few weeks

has your riccia arrived?

 

[Ps3Steveo]

Yeah mate got it today, see if you looked at my journals you'd know lol .
