How would that micro minisword do in 1.75WPG and no Co2 but with dosing?

**demosthenes** · 10-04-2009, 05:11 PM

New tank already?

hyphination · 10-06-2009, 02:00 AM

Cant wait to see the new tank!!!

I think I'm going to try the dry start method for my tank too but I just want to make sure I understand It correctly. I just have to keep the soil wet and mist the tank once in a while to keep it from drying out. And I have to cover the top with saran wrap to keep the moisture in and I leave lights on for 12hrs a day?

UG,

Every time you start a new scape, are you reusing the AS, or do you just start new.

danepatrick · 10-06-2009, 04:03 PM

Tease!!!

hyphination · 10-08-2009, 11:34 AM

Are you mini microsword and DHG playing nicely and sharing the substrate? or is the japanese HG out competing and choking your mini microsword? I know the DHG is a pretty fast grower thats why.

**Ugly Genius** · 10-08-2009, 02:34 PM

Hey, hyph. Because I planted the MS to HG in a 100:1 ratio, the MS is not being overrun by the HG. I think I planted maybe four blades of HG at the start. Perhaps in a year's time, the HG will reign supreme, but right now the MS has about ninety-seven percent of the substrate.

Pardon my ignorance, but is mini micro sword a species of its own, or is it just a variety of the regular brasiliensis, or?

This is one beautiful ugly tank, UG!

In the end, I was left with the impression that the tank had no artistic merit what-so-ever in her mind.

Fairly quickly I started regretting pretty-darned strongly ever showing her the tank.

UG I don't mean to re-open any healed wounds but as I was reading this it immediately reminded me of when I showed my girlfriend my 20gal long "iwagumi" tank. The tank got ripped a new one when in my eyes it was beautiful.

The nice comments from members really provided that needed pick me up. UG you got the eye and talent to create some pretty unique and fantastic layouts. Maybe a few plant-nerds and myself could see it in person someday
