Long time no update!
I had some issues with BBA after the rescape. However, after spot dosing and over dosing excel, I think I have it under control. I don't know if I mentioned it, but I finally installed the window screen back in the light, and have been bumping the hours up every few weeks. The tank has been staying extremely clean! I have yet had to clean any of the stones, and the glass BARELY gets any green spots over the course of a week. Maintenance is much easier now, I love it!
The Blyxa was growing taller in some areas and needed to be trimmed and spread out, so I did that today. Along with cutting the Hrydrocotyle up and replanting to get a more dense look, eventually. I think now, once everything grows in, I'll achieve the look I'm going for. I'm also having problems with the sand turning brown. Not sure if its diatoms or what, it doesn't vacuum out, so I'm just letting it run its course. Had a neon jump last night. Luckily my dog was sniffing it, my wife saw and called me over. Don't know how long it was out, but when I threw it back in it floated upside for a few seconds and then righted itself and swam away!
I also adjusted some of the stones today, but I'm sure it's unnoticeable. I'd still like to add some more amano shrimp and snails, but I'm broke as heck right now, so no aquarium funds to speak of for a while. Sorry for the poor pics, but you get the idea...
