*sigh* I die for the plants you are able to buy. Everything I am able to get a hold of is on it's last legs. I have to wait for new growth before it looks good at all.


Really great planting! I can picture it with the bacopa tall.

Thanks, this is Bacopa Australis, it stays low

 

[FishFanatic04]

oooooooooooooo! I need some! Bacopa and me have a love connection.

Nice scape, as usual mate.

Brilliant work Steve, looks complete already!!!!!!!!

 

[Ps3Steveo]

Thanks guys, should look better after the stems have changed to submerged, the Nesaea is starting to go a nice red/orange already.

Looks good mate, will look even better when the red comes through.

 

[Ps3Steveo]

Cheers mate, and when it gets tall and more bushy . So you gonna grab any fine grain florabase for your new scape?

 

[ian]

nope, i'm gonna stick with the normal florabase, i can crush it if needs be. I'm not going to be growing anything that needs the finer stuff.

 

[Ps3Steveo]

Shame it does look great round the stones.

Eheim 2213 turned up a minute ago, just gotta set it up and have a play now, lucky I have an old Eheim still full of mature media sitting here to fill it with. If my Hydor running my other scape has slowed and this runs faster then I may switch them but we'll see. Pic's later on tonight.

I was thinking; looks great, only the red streak is missing! Why did you call this scape Scandinavia? When I think about Scandinavia I always think about cooler colours....

 

[Ps3Steveo]

Ahhhh lol patience, there's a lot of emersed growth in there at the moment, give it time, there one purple/red, one purple ish, two orange, and 3 that have the potential to turn red.

We have Ram eggs, lights came on today and I found 5 pits in the substrate between random plants but they settled on a site between the Limnophila Aromatica stems, no stones for them to spawn on so they just laid a large cluster in the bottom of the pit.

Give it a few days and we should see some little wrigglers.

Congratulations! Aren't you afraid the eggs will fungus easily since they are on the substrate?
