thanks michael!

When December get's here you're going to have to give us an update!!

danepatrick · 12-02-2006, 05:58 AM

well michael, you asked for it. it's still december first for a few more minutes (11:55 right now) and i'm going to give an update! i added some jungle val at the left.. i just felt like i needed something tall there. the hair grass was working for me so i decided to make a "field" of it. i think it would be interesting for this stuff to fill in to the left and create some sort of "field" where the fish can hang out. anyway... here it is:

styxx · 12-05-2006, 04:36 AM

looking good so far!!

danepatrick · 12-13-2006, 03:57 AM

well, here's an update. red temple and anubias to come. just made some dwarf riccia sandwiches. LOL. (thanks lynn).

(damn riccia fell off petrified wood for some reason) GRR.

styxx · 12-17-2006, 06:14 PM

looking GREAT!!

danepatrick · 12-20-2006, 06:06 AM

alright. added plants:

Pogostemon stellatus
Anubias Nana
Anubia Quadrifolia
Alternanthera reineckii (behind the rocks. it hasn't made it's way up yet.)
Vesicularia dubyana (tied to a mesh slab in front of the blyxa.)

Soon to come:

changing out the jungle vals for corkscrews
adding tiny piece of driftwood under coffefolia so it doesn't have to sit on gravel

Nightshop · 12-20-2006, 06:34 AM

Make that val change quick! When they say Jungle they aren't kidding, those things propagate like mad! I have to throw away so many baby plantlets it's not even funny!

danepatrick · 12-20-2006, 06:36 AM

well i think they took a pretty hard hit when i got them, because i've yet to see runners. i think it's stunted for a bit. oh, but don't worry. i've had them before and i'm NOT complaining now! lol.

danepatrick · 12-29-2006, 04:25 AM

i guess i do good with madagascars?

ianmoede · 12-29-2006, 05:12 AM

Nice leaves? HAH. How is your riccia doing attaching to your petrified wood?

**fresh_lynny** · 12-29-2006, 01:55 PM

Dane, nice job. It really is looking great. So did you place the mini riccia sandwiches on top of the wood? Is that how you did it? Your lace is loving your tank. Nice job~

danepatrick · 12-29-2006, 02:26 PM

well guys, i actually pulled all my riccia up and sold it. it was becoming too big of a PITA to scoop all of that crap out every day and my angels would end up nocking some pieces off. it just didn't work out. i still have one patch of riccia laying on the substrate and i still have 2 little mini sandwiches of dwarf riccia laying next to the bigger one. i think that's enough riccia for me.

maybe later, i'll get ballsy and try some moss. i've never had any luck with that stuff.

ianmoede · 12-29-2006, 02:28 PM

I think most people come to that conclusion. Dwarf sag and riccia are neat for a bit, then turn into pains.

styxx · 01-10-2007, 07:05 PM

Dane, PM me with your email address...school is crazy here now, but I want to keep in touch! And where is the update damn it?!?! ...need....pics...badly....lol!
