No. You think I should?

I still have my EI mixes, do you think I should start them on this tank?

I'll do my best to upload some pictures tomorrow. Then you can see where it's at.

Yeah, let me have a look at it first before you go mixing ferts and stuff.

EI in a low-tech tank isn't a bad thing. If the planting is dense, they may well be running out of food.

I've misplaced my camera... I don't understand... I had it yesterday...

Bet you all think this is a fix now

just saw the video of this on youtube when i was searching asian biotopes, looks amazing. ive been thinking of making my new tank asian themed. cant wait to see some new pics so hurry up and find that camera

 

[minnnt]

Use your Desire. I got some great pics from my tanks once i messed around with the settings a little.

 

[coldcazzie]

I did a few with my phone the other day... but honestly the camera is much better.

 

[minnnt]

Have a play with the settings, seriously, i got some cracking photo's off of mine. The standard setting is pants.

Just ordered some crypt parva to replace the helferi. Will put the helferi in donations, unless anyone snaps it up first?

Found my camera while tidying up too so shall take some piccies tonight

 

[stu40]

Parva! blast it, you beat me to it.Was thinking of using some.
Get those pics up.

 

[coldcazzie]

Finally, am updating! Only taken me 10 days lol.

I added the last 2 fern plantlets to the wood here:

Shrimp in the moss:

Helferi. As I said, it's not unhealthy, just leggy and seems to have shrunk. This is what I'll replace with the parva.

And when in Home Bargains the other day I noticed one of these on sale for the grand total of 69p so this shall be used for the Silver Queen I hope.

Here's a FTS from the side

But I wanted to do a series of FTS showing the progression over the last 4 months.
So, here's when it was first fully planted and water cleared at 2 weeks old (20-09-11)

At 4 weeks old (03-10-11)

At 6 weeks old (24-10-11)

And now at 4 months old (10-01-12)

If nothing else the crypts have thickened up
