Wow, that's looking really great.

The background adds a nice touch as well.

Looking Great!

Very, very nice open tank. The tiny fish make the tank look massive....I was going to suggest that Discus would look nice in your tank, but the school of small fish make your tank look at least twice the size.

Keith,

its riccia, tied down on slate.

sNApple · 05-26-2006, 10:24 PM

So i open my canopy for a water change and look what i see.. right in the middle of the glass

i broke it open to see if it was just a shell, but it wasnt

it must got on top of the floating HC and jumped

DrAzE03 · 05-26-2006, 11:20 PM

I guess it didn't want to live any more

....poor guy... Shame such a nice home it had, your tank looks GREAT!!!

sNApple · 06-07-2006, 07:50 AM

9" wide

4" tall

ah the riccia grows so fast, i think its time to sell all the riccia and plant some HC.

How much should i sell the riccia for?

organic sideburns · 06-07-2006, 10:39 PM

If you are trying to sell the entire mat as one package, I would say around 20-30$ but thats just me.

How do you manage to keep the riccia like that? Any tips on getting it to spread like that? What did you use, some mesh and slate rock?

I used 4 pieces of slate, side by side it came out to be 4 feet long which was perfect for my 90 gallon. I put a thin layer of riccia on the rocks and tied it down with fishing line. For tips... lotsa water changes , turn on the lights, set it and forget it.

sNApple · 10-04-2006, 05:43 AM

havent updated my tank on this site, since i sold the riccia. tryed HC and failed!!

heres my HC turned into crap, everything gets into it, ricca, pellia, glosso, moss, bba
sept27

wtf this is HC...

i learned my lesson

also i threw my drying, alge infected plants into this rain barrel. and to my surpirse, they started growing emersed, now i can propigatge a bunch of different plants

try to find the glosso flower

I dont know what kinda of stem plant that is, but in my tank it was melting, i threw it away, now look at it

theres some weeping moss and HC growing on the wood.

oct 3

tank as is... not scaped.. waiting to sell everything, so i can start a new scape

emersed Aromatica

new (dirty) rocks for the tank over haul

submerged color (testing for new scape)

cant wait to start the new scape, and try HC again

sNApple · 10-16-2006, 06:12 AM
