50% WC on Sunday?

Yeah, normally more like 50-75%... Just depends on when I remember to check on the tank level while draining, or do I hear the slurping from the tank being below my water changer tubing

The hardest part is making sure I have enough RO water to do both tanks... Some times I gotta wait 5-6hrs because top offs during the week drained my supply (and i forgot to check Fri/Sat night)..

Man I cannot wait for a basement

Update:

Pogo Octopus is doing well, tops are now turning purple! Did a major trim on Rotala last weekend, and I am starting to get new growth out of the Wallichi!

Purple? Nobody ever said anything about purple! Looks like those plants are in good hands. Carry on!
Is that rotala wallichii on the right side?

Yeah, the tops are getting a pinkish purple hue to them. Yep, I moved the wallichii to the right to keep it out of the path of the Eheim Skimmer. Hoping it will cut down on the detritus that gets stuck in it. May eventually move it to the rear in the middle. Not sure yet.

Purple on the octo?

I just noticed that some of the stray pogo octopus leaves will develop roots on their own. More plants!

What is the propagation like? Just cut the nearest node, replant, 2 more appear? I wont be doing that for another couple of weeks "if thats how its done", still waiting for them all to get situated and accustomed to my tank parms.

Fresh what are you parms Kh/Gh?

 

[zer0signal]

Any opinions of me pulling the Broadleaf Ludwigia out of the back and replacing it with the Wallichi?

Sounds good to me. The plants look great! I'd like to see more though; either a denser planting or more of a hardscape, but that's just me.

Edit: BTW, what plant is on the far left (in front of the R. Indica/Rotundifolia) of this picture? https://photos.google.com/share/AF1...?key=WU9CUEQ3dnpibm9wbjlGNHpiU282NlFramlnYzF3

It's bugging me because it looks familiar.
