Hassler's 15G Journal.. 56K

Hassler · 07-26-2004, 05:00 AM

Hey all,
After lurking on the boards for a while I decided to register and try to contribute. Im giving this a shot, to see how big of a wet green thumb I have

Ill be moving in 4 months or so, and would hate to have something happen to a beautifully filled in tank. Besides, Ive got 2x 55's waiting to be setup when I move!

Ive got a 15G w/ 2x 15w GroLux bulbs.
2L DIY CO2 -> airstone -> tupperware bubble collector

I can grow cabomba like no other... it doesnt look like it now, I just did a massive replanting and pruning.

The plants:
Cabomba
Hornwort
Banana Plant
Green + White Acorus?
A Val?
and 3 other mystery plants.

Current inhabitants are a Blue Ram and an Oto Cat.
Also dealing with Cyano and hair...

Nice. I like that driftwood. Your wisteria looks healthy. I can not wait to see this tank when in regrows and fills in a bit before the move. I am however wondering if the acorus is a bog plant or not. I am thinking it may be but I could be wrong. Does anyone know? I think it is not fully aquatic.

Yeap, Acorus is a bog plant. Nice tank and sure will be nicer after couple of months

I had no luck with my Acorus under ideal conditions :-( It just melted away. Keep an eye on it if you can.

Other than that it's a great start. Fill-in should start to happen soon :-)

You are right... the Acorus doesnt do so well fully submerged from all that Ive read. Which would explain why its not doing so well

Thanks for the compliments.

i believe your "val" is an onion plant

Hassler · 07-28-2004, 05:02 PM

Thanks! After buying a plant encyclopedia, I looked, and it is indeed an onion plant. The Acorus will be coming out shortly due to the fact it keeps dying... At this point, I dont care if my tank is ulgy or whatnot... I just want to try my hand at different plant requirements and see if I can get em to grow!

minus algae, fish/plant loss.
