Good luck buddy! Did they come in today?

mjbn · 01-12-2012, 12:37 AM

Nope, tomorrow! But I got my yellows today! I saw a worm in the water though while acclimating them. I took the worm out, checked for more. Put them in, should I get some paraguard incase?

mjbn · 01-12-2012, 01:23 AM

I just got another kinda algae-_-

mjbn · 01-13-2012, 01:03 AM

This tank also needs some MTS :P! What's in that big ball of white in the middle? Ricca?

mjbn · 01-13-2012, 03:05 AM

Yupp! Riccia, I used a little too much netting

Hopefully it fills it out though. haha It's growing pretty well so far!

diwu13 · 01-13-2012, 03:07 AM

A little? :P Is there a stone under there haha?

mjbn · 01-13-2012, 03:10 AM

There actually isn't rightnow. Haha It's just weighed down by the sand on the edges of the netting.

diwu13 · 01-13-2012, 03:17 AM

What the hell lol. Do you have a HUGE clump of ricca in there then or something? That's asking for trouble haha. I can see that floating up in a bit and pulling up a bunch of your stem plants along with it

mjbn · 01-13-2012, 03:21 AM

It's not huge, a little bigger than a golfball or two:P None of the other plants are like "tangled" or anything into it so there shouldn't be a problem there

haha

diwu13 · 01-13-2012, 03:23 AM

Hm... you might be happier off with separating it and spreading it out more thinly. Tying it to some rocks or something.
