New planted tank

Are the Java Fern in very bright light or buried in the sand?

 

[Madgamer87]

They are in good light and the roots are buried in the fluorite substrate.

Java Ferns don't like their rhizome covered, they are best to be tied or anchored with the corner of a stone or wired or glued to driftwood or stone. Maybe out of the brightest light, prefer subdued light. Bet that will help!

As for your earlier post on azgardens, I have ordered from them myself and they were good to me. For the java fern, definitely don't have the rhyzomes covered like mentioned above. Sounds like you have low light, so the amount of light shouldn't be too much of a problem. As for the grass, I've never had good luck with it.

Oh ok so I really screwed up. I'll replant those tomorrow, also the hair grass has spread by 2"!

Live n learn! But great job with the DHG!

So I was able to pull up the java ferns enough to expose the rhizomes and keep the roots rooted in the substrate. I'll keep their progress updated.

I got a co2 tank for my bday, all i have to do is fill it and connect it and I'm golden.

 

[Autumnsky]

Wow, that is very cool. Happy birthday!

Just installed the co2, going to start out at 1 bp 4s and see how that does

 

[Autumnsky]

Very excited to see how it goes!

Looks really good! I like contrast between the dark and light sand. That is black sand, isn't it?

 

[Madgamer87]

Black fluorite substrate

 

[Madgamer87]

Although soon the black will be covered in hair grass

So today was about beautiful babies! I bought some baby dwarf tears and 5 baby angels!
1 yellow, white, silver, black and black w silver stripes. They are all about the size of a nickel. I'll get some pics up in the afternoon.

My first angel was black with silver stripes. Very pretty. You'll love them!
