5 Gal ADA Cube Garden #2 Journal

Congrats, they look great man!

Obviously you don't want to overfeed and cause algae or ammonia issues, but there is some truth to feeding heavily causing them to reproduce faster (assuming they're happy with water quality, etc).

3-4 times a weeks should do. Add around 1-3 pellets each feeding.

Anyone ever used the Mosura Eros spray that is supposed to induce molting/breeding?

Wow you got a third tank going now? That's awesome. The foreground looks great and I sure like the shrimp.

Latest photos. CRS are camera shy tonight. They are all down in the glosso.

My eriocaulon has all melted since planting. I am hoping it was grown emersed, and it will come back after the meltdown. The roots still seem healthy... the leaves, not so much.

wow the glossos are growing so much... great job.

 

[mom2reds]

WOW very nice

Erios are known to melt. I'd say pull em up a bit vacuum out the area they're being planted in and put em back in. Organics are really toxic to these guys...as is moving them, changing the water too much or looking at them funny lol.

 

[fort384]

Thanks crepe. Will do.

this tank is some pure ADA awesomeness!

 

[daileene]

i agree...

 

[iDream]

seriously, rimless aquariums like these ADAs no matter who seems to do them always turn out amazing looking! Whether its a reef or an amazing planted, you just can't make one of these ugly! ( though i suppose most n00bs/people who dont take good care of there tanks wouldn't spend the money on a nice rimless much less an ADA)

fort, i would say keep up the good work, but i know you will!

Thanks guys!

I have selected fish for the tank. Something new to me. It will be a few weeks, but I think it is going to be worth the wait....

Updated pics... Ignore the cloudy water... Just uprooted a bunch of glosso to send to a member so the substrate got kicked up a bit.
