I like the jungle effect. Makes it look like it just grew in that way. I like a natural feel to a tank, not that I don't appreciate meticulously manicured tanks, I just prefer the unkempt look.
Ian,
I'm glad you posted the pics so I can see what some of the plants I got from on Sunday will look like if they make it in my hard water. Looks like you definitely have a green/wet thumb. :thumbsup:
I got some from Ian at our last club meet. He has very soft San Francisco water whereas mine is liquid rock. We both dose EI and use pressurized CO2. So if I can get it to grow (so far, so good :thumbsup: ) then it'd be safe to say that it can grow in just about any water type.
thanks everyone. It is a hi-fin discus. I also have one more in there its a hi-fin red leopard. That one is really shy though. I'm away for two weeks so it may be interesting in how things turn out. I'll post some pictures when I get back in two weeks.
Jimmy, I have two discus in my tank. They are a pair. The other discus is just shy. Winter in hawaii is normally the rainy season. Its been ok so far this year. Marc let me know how is grows for you. You got the smallest stem that I brought to the meet.
I am back in cali, my tank looks like it has survived. Plants were growing out of the water. The stellata and hemigraphis turned into some sort of emersed growth. Only plants that looked worse off was the toninas (lack of NO3?). Will post some updates.
Eric no problem, that plant is growing fast. I'll save one for you at the next meet. If you think that was a jungle take a look at this after 2 weeks of not trimming. Here are some updates
WOW, I'm surprised that the fish even have room to move... look at the picture, there's almost no light getting through the stem plants :eek5: very nice tank though, I am a fan btw, I live in hawaii too, actually I'm going to the HAS meeting in about an hour
Nice journal. The trim really improved the overall look of the tank, and added dimension and contrast roud: The very green, thinly leaved plants in the back is a real beauty. Please tell me the name of it.
here it is I switched the eco-complete to ADA aquasoil.
