See any difference between the hydroton and soil?

Is the heater due to the amount of space between the light and plants?

 

[tattooedfool83]

I did. And after looking at this thread again it appears I copied u. Hahaha. Considering using 3" mesh pots with coco tek liners and soil would cost me around $20 for 20 pots and I could fit more in my 10 gallon. I'm gonna get a piece of glass cut for the top of the tank to so I can set a 10" dome light set on it and not worry about warping. This is the plan though so ill but what I need this week and set it up when I get back from my trip. I'm pretty psyched

I was watching YouTube videos earlier with crypts with moss on the substrate In the pots. Looks awesome!!! And apparently moss acts as a natural insecticide

That Anubias is huge. I'm looking to add some different Anubias varieties to my set up as well

 

[tattooedfool83]

Great healthy looking plant. I'd love to see a pic of it if u can

 

[tattooedfool83]

Wow, that's huge. How did it transition from submerged to emersed?

 

[tattooedfool83]

Wow man. Absolutely awesome.

 

[tattooedfool83]

You're a flowering machine. Looks awesome man

 

[tattooedfool83]

Man everything looks great! So healthy and green. Lots and lots of growth.

Thanks man! Some things have done much better then other species. I think I have only lost one species so far, C. hudoroi. This was my mistake by even ordering this plant as my tank is not suited for its hard water demands.

I've tossed a few different moss types into the pots. I'm still adding more if I find I've got extra, same thing with small bits of foreground plants.

I really enjoy seeing what different plants of the same species are doing in different parts of the tank. C. nurii is one of these that I'm particularly fascinated by! I have six different pots of C. nurii that were originally from two different sources each split into three pots. The number of plants from each source was different but I've given some away, so I think its even now. The plants were all pretty small to start. Some have stayed small but produced a decent qty of small leaves. A couple are much larger plants about the size of medium/large wendtii with leaves from med. greenish brown to a much darker brownish color. The split between large and small is not evenly divided between the two sources. I find it cool to watch and note these differences.

The one I got from u flourished then I moved it about 4" to a different spot in the same tank and it melted and never came back
