Not too shabby, bet those cardinals are chuffed.

Yes, being a cardinal tetra in that tank would be nice. The grass is stunning. The glosso may need a trim soon. It can grow fast.

[saintly]

your not wrong lljdma06, im going in anytime soon i may just take my lawn mower in with me!

 

[saintly]

just having a play around with the camera

 

[aaronnorth]

Glosso needs a good trim!

 

[saintly]

i know. i,m hating the damn stuff. how brutal can u be?

 

[aaronnorth]

plants love a good trim so chaces will be that it comes back thicker and it will only take a few weeks again. just cut the leaves off and thin it out if you dont want to replant it all, a bit easier!

 

[Biulu]

hi biulu,

which one do you prefer? im confused, the last shot?

I love the first shot without the background.

 

[aaronc]

Looking good mr! Has come along lovely since I have been away

 

[saintly]

thanks aaronc,

some better quality shots.im just beggining to understand how to use photobucket.

 

[goin_all_out]

that is some great growth from your hc? either way looking good, nice shots too. i like the second one.

 

[saintly]

thanks goin_all_out,

its actually Glossostigma elatinoides. much faster growing foreground plant. infact it's an absal;ute pain.

the little mounds/bump's are little riccia stones that have just gone out of control. it's starting to spread through the glooso which is what i wanted.

cheers

[goin_all_out]

im still learning these little forground plants. havent had bright enough lights to even attempt a carpet and now i have cories in my tank so i doubt ill get to do a carpet.

 

[saintly]

i was the same, maybe one day you can attempt a forground plant.

once you upgrade lighting to the point were you can grow anything, then the fun starts well it did for me.

 

[aaronnorth]

patience is the key, just keep replanting it, you will eventually win!
