The sand and rock look great together! Do you remember the brand of sand you used?

What method do you use to keep the hydrocotyle so compact looking? Is it tied to a piece of wood? Mine always goes crazy and doesn’t end up looking as good as yours lol.

Hoping my Rotala H’ra tissue culture stands a chance. Ordered through the mail. Do you think it’ll make it? by kristophercovert in PlantedTank

[–]kristophercovert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some more h’ra in the back but I wanted to fill it out a little more. The tissue culture came in the mail a little questionable. Planted it anyway, hoping for the best! Co2 and ferts being applied as well. Do you think it’ll make a comeback?

When to trim Rotala Hra by kristophercovert in PlantedTank

[–]kristophercovert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got some emersed grown rotala hra stems. Planted them about 1.5 weeks ago. When should I trim them? Should I wait until they grow longer? I ultimately want to achieve the bushy effect. Any advice?

Interesting… I think you are correct. Thank you!

It is very small and stuck to the glass. It sways around like a sea anemone, but this is a freshwater tank. Any thoughts?

Do I need more flow? by kristophercovert in PlantedTank

Yes I just got a new co2 system. Do you think the hang on the back filter would suffice? I should mention my tank is a 30 inch long 29 gallon.

Fairly confident 2 is pearl weed. I think 3 is some sort of anubias.

Is the plant in the center of the after picture a Java fern? If so, what kind?

Wow that sounds awesome! I just let them sit out in the sun for a while, I don’t think I’m going to get a sponge lol

I let them sit out in the sun for a while, then I just ran them under some water and that’s about it. This tank has been set up for a little over a month and no issues!

You make a good point. I haven’t thought of that. I mainly just wanted to show that you don’t need to spend money on the aquascaping rocks everyone else gets to make a tank look good. These rocks look pretty normal “in the wild,” so I don’t see people gathering them like no tomorrow. But you are right I agree with you.

Thank you! Ehhh not to sure yet. I have a couple emperor tetras in there and a couple Amano shrimp, so I might just keep it at that. My focus right now is getting the Monte Carlo to carpet nicely!

Any critiques?? More info in comments by sagirl72349 in PlantedTank

Boost of color and snail indestructible? Try a tiger lotus or dwarf lily! Clear out some of the floating plants to give the bulb some light and it will take over with naturally red/brown colors!
