i dont see pics.

ddtran46 · 10-13-2008, 12:26 AM

you didnt cover the top when you are growing this emersed?

**fishboy87** · 10-13-2008, 12:26 AM

They should be up. Can you see any of the ones on the other pages because I used the same process as the first pics. Edit: I had a saran wrap top and it didn't seem to hold humidity in the tank or prolong moisture so I took it off right before taking the pictures.

ddtran46 · 10-13-2008, 12:29 AM

wow. this makes me want to try growing hc emersed now.

**fishman9809** · 10-13-2008, 01:05 AM

yep i can see the others. oh well

**fishboy87** · 10-13-2008, 01:24 AM

ddtran46-Thanks! I'm extremely hesitant to fill the tank because I've heard how hard it can be to grow. The good thing about the immersed method is that it's usually easier and faster to grow HC. Another bad thing is that I've heard it usually melts after the transfer from immersed to submersed and becomes especially hard to keep alive while it's adjusting.

fishman-Wish I knew what the problem was so I could try to fix it. Sorry

This is so much like my own tank. I'm doing a manzanita/HC scape as well. I've also got emersed HC right now. I would say the greatest advantages of emersed growth are the utilization of atmospheric CO2, and the ability to use sunlight (since you don't need a power source to run the filter on the tank).

My advice is to make sure you have all the stuff to grow HC normally, so CO2, ferts, good light.

Got that covered----------co2; red sea bio-system and excel-------------light; 3.6wpg white light-----------dosing; seachem schedule

I know!!! Its been a lonnnggg time since your last pics.

All it is right now is HC growth. nothing at all has changed. I have also been preoccupied taking care of the ram fry I have recently gotten. I have decided that the tank will hold about 6 cardinal tetras, some amano shrimp, and 3 otos. I'm in no hurry to fill/plant this tank because I already have a stocking plan and all the other required decisions for the tank. I appreciate the concern and I will update when I fill the tank. Questions based on the tank's planning and stocking or other questions are welcome!

**fishboy87** · 11-10-2008, 01:34 AM

Tank is being filled. . .pics once filled and things settle a bit. Tomorrow evening I can guarantee pics if not tonight.

**fishboy87** · 11-11-2008, 05:11 AM

Everything is looking pretty nice and the reactor for the bio system is also my pump as it has about 65+ gph and I do not have any fish so my filtration isn't an issue at the moment. Oh, revised stocking; 5-6 cardinal tetras, 10+ Grade A or S CRS, 2 amano shrimp, and 2 otos- too much or too little. . .I am in the process of acquiring the downoi, rotala wallichii, anubias nana 'petite', and I'm growing out the blyxa in my 29 gallon to trim and plant in the 10. I'm hoping the tank should be stocked and such in 1-2 months. We'll see

Anyway as promised. .

still a bit cloudy from filling but should be clear tomorrow
