If you're thinking about a pair of Rams think about a pair of pair of apistos. They're nice too. I recently got a apisto borelli and fell in love with him. His blues and reds look really stunning against the plants as he swims sround

Growing in nicely Wrangler!

Thanks! Wisteria is coming out and the rotala is going to replace it. I like how it turns pinkish towards the top, but it should really be in the back. Can hardly tell I have any bacopa caroliniana because of it.

When I go to my lfs this weekend I'm going to see if they can order a current sat plus or a finnex stingray(opinions on this???) to help get some more color from the rotala, and any other plants I add.

Long way to go still ? the AR mini looks a great colour but i reckon it could be healthier still

I agree it could be healthier. The original growth has some bba on it, and the stems I trimmed don't seem to root as fast as some other plants. I'm just happy that it hasn't melted away

Yep thats a bonus. Its a constant struggle to get it all right. In fact ive just noticed that my star repens old leaves are getting pinholes. Straight away slightly lowered my light intensity by 5% and double dosing macros

I dose 5ml of marcos and micros already, and I don't see any defeciencies. Still mix the ferts at the reccomended levels, but dose 5ml.
One thing I wish I could do is adjust the intensity of my light, that and if I knew the actual PAR of it...

It's almost impossible for us to compare dosing tank to tank as there are so many variables.

Thanks! I did a major wc (left maybe 5 gallons), filter clean, trimed rotal rotundifolia, removed all wisteria, and some ludwigia rubin so thags why its so cloudy. That rotala rotundifolia is growing nicely, next plant I'll either trade or sell here or at my lfs.

I don't understand co2 right now. Running 5BPS into the inline diffuser, getting 100% diffusion, but my DC is half blue when co2 turns off! I mean like brand new DC fluid blue! I just replaced it 2 weeks ago so it shouldn't be bad. I removed some plants and I'd think co2 would be higher because it was the wisteria i took out. Any thoughts as to whats wrong?
