I hope your planning to enter that into a contest. I think it could win more than one award. It looks amazing.

nice lily pipes, how long did you have to wait for them to come in? were they from asia?

Pinto · 02-25-2009, 02:33 AM

Wow, looks nice.
I like the way you distribute your substrate.

iantan05 · 02-25-2009, 09:24 PM

Thanks. i guess i could enter it in some contest. Yeah i got my lily pipes from asia. Took about 2 weeks for them to come in.

crabcake · 02-25-2009, 11:22 PM

iantan05 · 02-26-2009, 05:39 PM

Do u guys know any online contest that i can join? Thanks

iantan05 · 02-26-2009, 05:40 PM

Over the pst few days i had a little bit of staghorn algae the grew on the rocks. I have increase the co2. What are ur experiences with staghorn?

iantan05 · 03-06-2009, 05:42 PM

Right now i have an empty 5lb which i am going to refill in 3 days. Hopefully the plants would not suffer much. Right now i am supplying co2 via yeast and sugar, cut down lights to 4-5hrs and cutting down on ferts for the next few days.

My nylon washer is stuck to the regulator. How do u guys get it out? Hot water? And where do you buy ur washers. Please suggest some that works with the milwaukee set.

The HC's old leaves has turn alittle bit darker. kinda looks like its algae and a little like phoshate deficiency. ill upload a picture soon to show you what i mean.

Thanks

Update

Over the past few weeks, the Hc kinda looks dull as i ran out of co2 and was running on diy. Ive got the plants back shape, filled the co2 and continuing regular dosing regimes.
It has grown a little bit.Heres are 2 pictures to compare before and after.

Very peaceful and calming in its simplicity.
I really like it.

ddtran46 · 03-11-2009, 06:50 AM

damnn..Its soooo beautiful!!!

amano101 · 03-11-2009, 07:52 AM

very good layout on this iwagami. i'm a sucker for cardinals, i don't care what anyone says. the main concern i have is with the 2213. nobody thinks this is too small? i'm talking about the flow/gph, not what Eheim rates it at.

iantan05 · 03-11-2009, 04:19 PM

I do agree that the eheim 2213 has a rather slow gph, which is why i added another pump for circulation. In terms of size, it does hold alot of media which i like.

oh btw. You cant see the hairgrass as ive trimmed it down 2 inches because the old blades were turning brown and it is very unpleasent. The hairgrass has been growing senting out runenrs here and there.

skratikans · 03-11-2009, 04:24 PM

wow...looks so peaceful, I love it

iantan05 · 03-24-2009, 08:35 PM

Update march 24th/09

Enjoy
