Great Tank George! On the average how much time do you sink into it?

Weekly water change: 30-45 minutes
daily feedings and dosing: 2 minutes
Trimming and replanting: any where from 1/2 hour a week to 2 or 3 hours a week. It all depends on my previous trim.

If I trim everything in one week, then the next week will require little if any trimming. Also depends upon how lazy I am in a particular week. :lol:

Nice tank George, well organized, good choice of leaf types and looks really natural.

Like your tank, my stellata grows like a weed, so much so that I started with five stems; now I have about thirty.

Anyway great tank

George Willms · 02-16-2004, 01:10 AM

I too started with 5 stems.

Thanks for the compliments.

rumples riot · 02-16-2004, 02:00 AM

Not a problem always happy to give praise where it is due and you sure fit into that catagory.

Tonyd · 02-18-2004, 01:53 AM

Great Tank. Really like the mix of leaf types and colors, great contrasts.

George,

Awesome tank! Can you tell me how much Flourish Fe you're dosing?

Momotaro · 03-11-2004, 10:42 PM

I may have is this before, but the pics just don't do justice to this aquarium! It is amazing in person! The variety of plants George has growing is surprising also. How about a list of the varieties George?

Mike

George Willms · 03-11-2004, 11:07 PM

Thanks ACS....

I don't use much of the Fe, maybe 1 ml every other day. And as for a plant list, here goes: C. lutea, C. wendtii, M. micranthemoides, A. nana, H. leucocephala, L. repens x arcuata, L. repens x palustris, E. stellata, A reinickii, R. rotundifolia (indica), H. corymbosa, D. diandra, and L. aromatica. I think that's all of them.....lol. I got rid of the sag in this tank, it was too invasive, kept popping up in all my groupings.

It's been a long time since I updated. My tank has sorta become a stellata farm for the time-being, but here are some new pics:

rumples riot · 04-22-2004, 05:51 AM

Very jungle like. Your stellata looks a littel different from ine in colour, but looks like it grows like mine (a weed).

Nice George.

Paul

George Willms · 04-22-2004, 11:33 AM

Yes it does grow like a weed for me.

The color of it is highly variable I've found. Mine is usually a yellow-orange and occassionally red.

corigan · 04-22-2004, 06:33 PM

yeah that stellata jungle is awesome George. I see where you keep getting all your clippings to sell on aquabid. Hehe, Speaking of aquabid (shamless plea ahead) I was wondering if being an eheim pimp would possibly land me an oppurtunity to purchase some from the OE (Original Ehfipimp) by different channels than aquabid. I can't afford to spend $25+ on 5 stems atm, but would be more than willing to spend a good ammount on just a stem or two. Please let me know oh mighty ehfipimp. (Shameless plea ended)

ops:

Matt

George Willms · 04-22-2004, 09:09 PM

LOL...the mighty efhipimp is immune to shameless pleas. You must get in line and take a number.

Well, at the rate they've been growing lately, I should have some to sell to you. You planning on putting them in the tank in your sig? What are you growing in it now?
