Thanks sam, on another note, what is the best way to post pics in bulk here? Is it better to just upload using the uploader device on the forum, or upload to photobucket and then page url? Or maybe Icloud and then paste?
Prob imagur or photobucket. I'm usually posting from my iPhone and this thing only lets me add one pic per post which is highly annoying. Id prob use imagur myself
I have used tap (which is about tds 140) for majority of its existance, but with all my dosing and some rock leaching, my tds is almost 320 (gh 10, kh 7) I think this led to the melting of my Tonina sp belems? I started adding some RO to it now (aiming for TDS 200), lets see if it turns it around. This is literally the only plant that I have ever had die on me (excluding crypt melts) thats is not associated with light,co2 or nutrients) Any suggestions?
Quick update , the apistos layer eggs!!! I also found out that the extra female apisto turned out to be a ugly fat male. No wondering it was getting attacked big time .
Just added some rotala Mexicana , rotala catippilar, rotala butterfly type 2 and what I think is ammania gracilis , will update as soon as stuff grows in
I also don't know what the species of ludwigia it is just in front of the ludwigia sph in the second pic. Any suggestions ? Kinda looks like glanduloso
Here is a update of the new plants . I'm getting a bit of issues with new growth with the macaranda mini butterfly , and rotala ap mini type two . Both have shrivelled new growth. I'm thinking it's a iron issue, hard water issue, or lack of calcium since I have been doing 1/3 ro water. I have been putting extra iron without too much change, Next will be going back to full tap water , if that doesn't work then full ro with gh booster . The plant does well in my akadama spoil , so I was thinking it was a iron issue. Ummm
Monte Carlo doing very well
Steurogen especially purple is def a slow grower but doing well
Best hc growth without algae I have had in a while, probably due to ro water and me controlling frets better .
Alt mini doing better and taking off
Crazy growth of Mexicana aragouaia , it looks like aromatica
about to start this tank up again, cant wait. Send me a pm again if you are interested in questions.
Currently I setup a 100 gallon frag style tank , and its full of goodies. Now I a 75 gallon at the clinic at form and function, 75 at my pops for growing out bigger plants like vals and amazons, 10 gallon buca and rares, and about to open this one up again after our move.
For those canadians out there looking for some of these plants, here is the link for the sales thread
