I'm in love with the HC pearling shot....

FTS not a good one?~!?!!?........can't wait to see what you consider "good".
VERY nice Kristin!!
BTW how did you attach the Fissidens? Thread? Has it taken hold yet?

[rkilling1]

Very nice Kristin. I really like the Rotala wallichii.

From experience, I am sure you will get tired of the star grass soon.

Also, be careful when injecting Excel directly into the HC. It has killed some of my plants when I have done that. I suggest that you try an area not so visable before proceeding.

Thanks!

Sharon, I love that shot too.

GlitcH, I attached the Fissidens with fishing line. It has attached in most places now.

rkilling, I am getting tired of the Stargrass now. It is a super fast growing plant that is kind of messy. I may have to replace it eventually with something else. I'll keep that in mind with the Excel. I've only done the treatment a couple times and it did help get rid of some Staghorn that was growing in the HC. I'll apply it a good ways above the HC in the future, just to be safe.

Updated pic 3/11:

Not the best, but atleast the plants look pretty good! I see alot of things I could have improved before taking the pic though...hehe (like that tall wallichi stem....). The HM has yet to be trimmed, but I'm doing that on Sunday, so I can ship some out on Monday. Believe it or not, I've already trimmed some and moved it to my 55g......but there is still alot left to trim.

I removed the Stargrass. It finally drove me crazy enough that I got rid of it. I have Bacopa there right now, but I'm looking to find something permanent for that spot. I don't like the Bacopa in there. I think I may try Rotala macrandra 'green' since the leaf shape is different and its a green plant. I think something red may not look right, since the wallichi is pink on the right. I had considered something like Ludwigia senegalensis (sp?) though. I'll have to see what I can find.

No new fish just yet. I haven't had the money to order Apistos (shipping kills!) and I haven't made it to the lps to look for Rummies. I have convinced myself to have a 2nd school though, Ember tetras. I have 4 in my 29g that I was given by someone who needed to clear tank space and I do not see them around here, so I haven't added to the school (plus my 29g is a bit overstocked). My plan is to move those 4 to the 40g soon and get 6 more from Franksaquarium.com when it warms up a bit more.

Thanks for looking. I'll try to take some better pics soon.

Looks quite lush. Great work.

Nice shot........heh......that HM really took off huh.

I will take that stargrass! I LOVE stargrass I had it before and it grew nice and compact-loved it!
your tank is AMAZING BTW, I could just sit their for hours just staring at it

[JustOneMore20]

Thanks!

I already chunked the Stargrass.....sorry! The bottom parts were dead and it just wasn't doing well. I sold a little bit of it (the good part) to someone else, but the rest just wasn't healthy enough.

rkilling was definitely right about it.

I'll take an updated FTS tonight. I finally changed some water, so the water line isn't 1.5" down now.

I'll be adding 2 trios of Apistos soon! Hopefully by the end of this week.
