Alright, I know I haven't updated this in a while so here we go.
Anyway, seeing some new growth out of lots of the plants. The grass is definitely spreading, has some new shoots coming up in places. The unknown stem from the lake is also doing good, with some new growth. Crypts are slow but steady for sure. The ludwigia red has some new leaves up top, but there green. Is that just an early stage and they eventually run red or is it from a lack of nutrients? Don't have Co2 going yet in this tank, just the dirt and light. Don't think I'll be dosing anything else. Besides that, the supposed dwarf sag is sending out yet another runner. I have a feeling that it isn't really dwarf sag, leaves are 2+ feet long. Don't know if it's jungle val though either. Maybe just normal sag. Bought it from the LFS as dwarf though. Who knows, maybe it just loves my tanks. Anyway, the bulbs have already sent up 2 flowers, it's cool to just the bud in the morning and at night it's lost it's cap and become a full flower. Blyxa showing a tiny bit of new growth, just mainly some melting of outer leaves getting adjusted to new tank. Pogo octo I planted before I even filled the tank all died off and is now making a come back with smaller leaves. Hornwort has some new growth too, not as fast as it was. I have feeling that it likes cooler tanks. When I had it in the 16 and dosed Prazi for GBR's it died off. Don't know what was in the Prazi but hornwort doesn't like it lol. Not much happening with the water sprite surprisingly. Thought I'd have some better and more growth by now. Probably forgetting some plants, but that's alright. Thanks for bearing with my rambling.
In the 16, the GBR played eggs again and they were, (surprise, surprise) gone the next day. Plants doing good though. Floaters the most of all. Have a ton of slavonia and duckweed. If anyone wants a ton of dwarf water lettuce, salvinia or duckweed PM me. Have it coming out of my ears (and in my hair. LITERALLY)
5.5 still bare. Puffs don't mind, just greedy as always.
I know I say this a lot, but they're some of the coolest fish I've kept. I've got some blyxa in that tank that I don't know what I'll do with, just need to find somewhere to put all this stuff.
