It's been a while but I have been listening to you guys. As the HC has grown I've been able to remove a little and begin adding it to the wood. It seems to grow well like this. It's patchy now but I will fill it in as my HC crop allows.
I have 2 anubas nana petite plants. One is on the right and the other is floating right now.
I tried moss but it gets way too big. I'm actually considering using HC as a moss wood accent substitute from now on, even in larger tanks. That was a great recommendation. Thanks!.
I finally scored some Rotala sp. mini!! It looks awesome. I have it recovering from shipping in another tank and I'll try adding it to this nano once it's ready. It should make for a good background/accent plant for the back. That and the constant addition of HC to the wood and I think the tank will mature well. The anubas nana petite I think will add a little green contrast to the foreground once I find a place for it.
The dwarf hairgrass is slowly getting taller, although I think it's max height will be maybe 1 inch taller than it is now.
My only worry for now is when to trim the HC. I don't want the bottom to die and cause problems. What are the warning signs of when to trim?
The weekly water change/cleaning was actually supposed to happen earlier today but I never got around to it so this is the aquarium at pretty much it's least flattering moment.
Still dosing EI on a standard daily schedule at 50% and adding Excel daily at 2x. Still running a nano HOB and the 2 13w galaxy lights...and taking crappy photos that look like they came from a cell phone.
