Planted 75G Make-Over... Many New Pics 8/5/07

Awesome hygro!!

I'm letting mine do that too! Of course, no CO2, just Excel and Flourish, but still...I hope it will do even a quarter of what yours is. DANG! 8O

The trick is, just let it do it's own thing, lol. Let it do what hygro does best, do it's own thing, lol. I gave up on trimming and trying to get it to do what I want, lol.

 

[Lonewolfblue]

Well, made a new change, but no pics yet. I took my 4 baby Bolivians, now about 2.5" each, and moved them from my 29G to my 75G with the parents. It's quite interesting now, lol.

Edit:
Here's some pics.....

[LandGhoti]

I so love your roselines! I need to get a bigger tank just so I can have some of them. They are gorgeous.

PS, what happened to all the hygro??

 

[Lonewolfblue]

I removed a ton of it, lol. It was just geting too thick. It will grow back though, lol.

[Glenc]

Very nice! I want your foreground!

 

[Lonewolfblue]

The foreground is ET. IT grows in pretty fast, and has gotten really thick.

How do you diffuse CO2 into your tank?

 

[Lonewolfblue]

Currently I just have a glass diffuser located directly under the intake of my XP3. You can also use an airstone or limewood airstone.

Edit:
Also, my red foxtails are getting long, and I need to clip them and replant. Wish I had another 75G, lol. Still lookingaround for a 300G, but everywhere I've emailed in Seattle, Portland, and Spokane, they give me the same answer. 125G is the biggest they can special order. Wish I knew someone who works with acrylic, would have then make me a tank, lol.

 

[Lonewolfblue]

Well, I got a whole bunch of new picsof my 75G. Hope you enjoy, and let me know which shots you like best......

For my Bolivians, when I placed the babies with the parents, I have come to the conclusion that I have 2 males (both are originals, 3yrs old) and 5 females (one original 3yrs old, the rest are babies)

My Big Male Bolivian: (3yrs old, just over 3 inches)

My Main Female Bolivian: (Also 3yrs old, about 2.75 inches)

ohhh it looks awesome!!!!
honestly, the first pic of the close ups on the bolivian rams is my favorite, if I counted right the 25th from the top

 

[LandGhoti]

1st, 2nd, and 3rd close-up pics of the rams are my favorites.

 

[Glenc]

Very nice, love the tank, looks nice and lush. Can't pick between the shots, they are all great!

 

[Lonewolfblue]

Here's some new updated pics.........

Any way to control all this? Some of the leaves are over 2 feet long....
