10 gallon rimless rescape - Think of a name for me, not Lego!

One thing that sometimes we forget is that as our plant mass grows we need to increase our dosing. Until I trim I dose my spoon measurement as rounded as I can get. Then when I trim I level them off again. I found out the hard way with some of the more sensitive nutrient hogs that they can eat through the Nitrogen like crazy! I've even dosed another 1/3 on the same day as my traces - several hours apart. That might be what's going on with your Rotala.

Yes to FTS!

Good point...I'll need to remember that

I don't think I want to wake up the fish just yet, so I'll wait until the lights turn on at 2

Me

I'm leaving the responsibility of feeding the fish to my little brother...maybe I'll ask my dad to dose the ferts. I don't think a 10 year old would know how to do that...

What'll happen if my dad doesn't dose for a week?

**chase127** · 07-18-2009, 05:27 PM

nothing really. the plants will use up their reserves and everything should go back to normal when you get back and start dosing again

**ZooTycoonMaster** · 07-19-2009, 06:17 AM

Well...I couldn't find the camera, so I guess I'll update after I get back

**ZooTycoonMaster** · 07-26-2009, 04:26 AM

Well I'm back...and nothing much happened except that a whole bunch of water evaporated

Happy now?

I'm starting to get bored with this scape...I like the Blyxa and Downoi and Hygro Araguaia, but the Rotala and Myrio aren't cutting it for me. Should I replace them with different plants or rescape?

I finally have a picture! Ignore the water bottle, that's my...state of the art cooling system
