here are some

I'm glad you're enjoying the HC. I would not advice you to have any floating plants in that tank while the HC is growing. CO2 is highly recommended

nate_mcnasty · 06-03-2008, 04:28 PM

the floating plants aren't over the hc and i diy co2

nate_mcnasty · 06-03-2008, 07:18 PM

nate_mcnasty · 06-03-2008, 11:15 PM

tell me what you think please

nate_mcnasty · 06-05-2008, 01:51 AM

tell me what you think. is it good (the new scape)????

@marko@ · 06-05-2008, 02:02 AM

i dont see much of a difference other then now you have a few stems (are rotala wallichi?) in front of the wood. i dont know why. unless you keep them very short and trimmed in a good orbed shape, it will look bad there.

nate_mcnasty · 06-05-2008, 02:50 AM

well i took out alot of rocks out and pushed all the stems to the back corner and the stuff in front is Mayaca fluviatilis not rotala wallichi

nate_mcnasty · 06-05-2008, 02:56 AM

and i added hc and took out one of the stem plants in the tank

**waterfaller1** · 06-05-2008, 04:57 AM

That tank would look great with a black background, get some flame moss growing all over the wood, and the hc as the groundcover. I would also turn the larger branches towards the back, and bring the smaller ones towards the front.

nate_mcnasty · 06-05-2008, 05:00 AM

i just got all of the stems so i think i'll keep the scape till the plants settle in and i do have some flame moss in there it just needs to grow in

nate_mcnasty · 06-05-2008, 04:56 PM

so i'm starting to get what looks like a thread or hair algae will doseing ferts take care of this??? please help

hey nate - quick question about your new algae friend...I noticed that one spot in my tank had an almost unnoticeable amount of white-ish, filamentous algae...I did some investigation and am, at this point, attributing it to a lack of available nutrients...remember I told you I hadn't started dosing until this week...that's my guess, so we'll see how it goes. I removed it and am watching for more...Look at this link and see if you can identify the culprit.

Also, how's the flow? Are your CO2 levels up high enough and consistent?
