Off to a good start 
Let the macrandra top out on the surface for about 1 week, then trim.
This will yield nice branching and thicker better coloration etc. |
I currently have just under 2 bags of ADA AS under the 8 bags of Flourite Dark and from time to time I do notice some being pulled up when I move plants. I thought about going to straight sand like the NBAT standards require.
I will have to try that with the R. macrandra, thanks!

The messy stage doesn't last very long with stem plants.

Thanks! I got the tank custom made to be similar to Barr's 180g. Filter input/output on the bottom pane of glass via bulkheads. I want to build a new stand with doors and at the same time switch all the green Eheim tubing over to PVC and add a Cerge's reactor.
