went to sis in laws today and snow blowed the snow for her and the old man across the street said if I felt like it I could do his for him lol he is a nice old man comes and visits sometimes when I'm working in sis's yard so I said sure and plowed him out too man was i beat but he gave me 20 bucks for doing it even though i insisted 3 times he didn't owe me anything.
Wifey said why don't I take the money and get some plants for the aquarium. well of course wasn't going to argue there so went got me a narrow leaf java fern, a pack of dwarf Hairy grass, and some grass I dunno what it is but looked cool and says grows to abt 15" so I thought it would look good in the back by my rocks. I took out my PVC tubes and moved the rocks around into a nice arrangement and in front corner wrapped my java moss around a flat rock and made a nice hairy ball with it.
For the grass it was all rooted together and so i carefully pulled it apart into several pieces and laid them out in front of my driftwood.
the bad thing was messing with the tank all that slime released from my long driftwood and got all over everything lol. oh well if this cycle ever finishes my plecos will have a field day.
also my DIY CO2 is going good I am getting abt 2 bubbles every 3 seconds. my canister filter is not having any problems with it but its funny because you get these bubbles going through the lines so every once in a while you here this swoosh sound as a big wad of them come out the airflow as teensy miniscule little bubbles.
Hopefully that plus my lighting etc my Hairy grass will spread fast if I didn't kill it separating it into individual clumps.
