It's been a busy week coupled with a case of spring fever, so my tanks were a bit neglected this past weekend. I'm planning to get to them tonight and get some pictures. In the meantime, here's a quick literal update:
I didn't get the CO2 tank for my birthday, but I got $50 towards the purchase of one. There's a fish swap/flea market next Sunday, so I'll scout around there for a deal and hit the internet if I can't find anything. I'm thinking at least a 10lb cylinder so I can possibly hook up a couple tanks.
I still need to pick up a phosphate and a new nitrate test kit, so I haven't adjusted my ferts at all. The high-light plants aren't growing as quickly as I'd expected. I'm hoping it's just a shortage of carbon and not a light deficiency (or possibly excess).
GSA has taken over the front glass again. It's not thick enough to look very green, but it makes the tank look cloudy.
The najas grass and the mystery plant are running rampant. The mystery plants is over two feet long now and is starting to branch out. I still haven't seen any roots, but I might try planting it like a stem plant. The glosso has new, very short growth. I'm thinking about trimming some of the older, taller shoots and planting them to attempt a shorter carpet.
