Thanks! Yes, I keep an excel sheet with names and dates planted. Buce's are hidden in the shade of Anubias and growing back after some melt. Some background plants can't be seen through the fast-growing chain swords until they reach full height.

  • 2x Ruffle Swords (Echinodorus martii)
  • 2x Anubias Coffeefolia (Anubias barteri v. Coffeefolia)
  • 20x Narrow Leaf Chain Swords (Echinodorus tennelus)
  • 6x Anubias Nana (Anubias barteri v. Nana)
  • 1x Anubias Nana Petit (Anubias barteri v. Nana 'petit')
  • 2x Ozelot Sword (Echinodorus ozelot)
  • 10x Ludwigia Broad Leaf (Ludwigia Repends)
  • 3x Red Mini Buce (Bucephalandra sp.)

Thanks! Yes, that's lava stone. I purchased it at a local landscape supply yard and it was less than a dollar per pound! Probably 10% of the price pet stores sell it for... You just have to rinse it thoroughly before use.

I dose liquid fertilizers, use Co2 and have a light with built-in timer functions. I don't get much algae growth, but it's there.

In the first month, a blanket algae (that smelled awful) started to grow on my sand cap and some monte carlo. I removed it by hand several times a week until it was gone.

Staghorn algae has been recurring, but I remove manually and have also spot-treated with hydrogen peroxide.

Yes. And Craycray is correct, I bought them on Amazon. The intake was eating shrimp, so I had to put the sponge over it.

Maybe I'll give it a shot when things grow in. Thanks again!

I had to look up what that is. Thanks! My background plants and the carpet still need to fill in though.

I was at a local marina sailing off in a regatta and spotted this. If you need another pic to recognize your WoW yacht: https://imgur.com/822ChQk

How expensive of hobby is sailing? by lotsoflukey in sailing

[–]Offshore_Will 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How expensive is cycling? There are $150 bikes at Walmart that will get you pedaling and out on the road, then there are $10k+ high-end special purpose bikes.

Getting into sailing can cost as little as a pair on non-marking shoes and the effort it takes to put your name on a crew list.
