Thanks! Not completely sure why it grows so red in this tank. I've sold it to other people in the area and it grows completely green, even under seemingly high light.Gorgeous blyxa! How's the living wall going?
The living wall is going pretty well. I've added a lot of plants since I last posted here, and there has been some growth. Winter is not the best time to start a project like this since a lot of tropical plants go dormant in winter. It seems like I've got the watering down, now I just have to figure out fertilization.
I'm in the middle of a two week ski vacation, so the big test will be whether all my sensitive calatheas have survived!
I like the Chihiros. I can only compare it to the Fluval 3.0 but the spread, color controls and aesthetics seem a lot better to me. I haven't had any heat or app issues. I'll admit it's not a super intuitive app but once I figured it out it at least performs consistently. I don't have any shades and it hasn't been an issue so far, but I imagine if you were going to hang it pendant-style you might want shades since it is super bright.How do you like the chihiros light so far? Do you have any issues with the app or it getting too hot? I’ve been eyeing one of these or a twinstar 600s. How is the light spill on the chihiros? I know they sell shades for them but haven’t seen many with the shades attached. Tank looks great! W
