My First Aquascape Finally Coming Together

Never give up on Blyxa. It melts terribly. Keep replanting it until it resprouts.

Looks good. Well done

AC

thanks AC, can you go a little more in depth about that, when you say keep replanting it what exactly do you mean as the 1st and second lot of blyxa melted within a few days, there was literally nothing left so how could i replant it?

Running the CO2 high helps with blyxa in the early stages, it should send out some new shoots, even if they are only a few cm long they will grow into healthy plants.

thanks aaron, to make things worse my co2 ran out today and because of easter weekend i wont be able to get some more for a while, i hope this doesn't harm things too much!! I've been so bloody busy with my new job that i didn't even notice!!

cut the photperiod down to 6hrs or half the lighting. It happens all the time but i keep a 2nd one on hand incase this problem pops up!

New 10 week picture is on the the first post. Also updated the pic of my puffer tank. There should be a positive change in the next couple of weeks so i'll keep updating, also waiting for my koralia 2 pump which should help with healthy growth. Enjoy

I love the before and after. looks good. Just the right amount of plants.

 

[jonnyf84]

thanks snowflake, it could be much better, it just looks a little scrappy at the moment, i'm waiting for some new plants so when they arrive i'll give it a good prune and re arrange a few things.

 

[aaronnorth]

very nice

 

[MoondustBob]

Nice healthy growth

 

[jonnyf84]

thanks fellas, i noticed a defficiency on one of the plants last night, its got a rusty brown leaf tip, i'll post pics when i get a chance, any ideas what it might be? Still waiting for my koralia pump - i'm hoping that will make a difference in the growth department as the HC just won't quite spread to the corners.

WOW..... that looks incredible

sorry mate didn't see this post, the cabomba is a pain in the #### to be honest, if it grew straight it would look amazing but of coarse it grows towards the stronger light and it looks messy as hell. I have to proon it every few days because it grows so fast, i pulled one bit out yesterday and it must have been about a metre!!! Unbelievable.

Looking great m8, cant help about the defiency?... maybe its just the CO2 or the ferts are not been distrabuted evenly the korilia should help with that
