My 29 gallon tank setup

[Jemi39]

I've been swamped by my band these passed few days that I haven't done anything to it yet xD All in good will, because we're setting up a tour and I'm in charge of calling places for the setup.. But yeah! Tomorrow I'm taking all the advice and putting into action! Sorry for the lack of updating. The plants are grwoing really well. I thought the wisterias new leaves were going to grow in all blobby due to the lower light, but it's actually filling out nicely! And the moss is pretty steady as well Pictures tomorrow!!

Soo.. I didn't get around to anything yet xD But you can see the plants are growing pretty well. I moved the one plant a little farther right away from the heater in order to br able to pull it out with ease when I do. I'm thinking about turning the heater sideways and putting it down low. The wisteria to the left is going to be turned sideways and allowed to grow upwards around the back left corner. And the rocks will be adjusted to give it an ancient ruin feel xD I also bought the posterboard today and getting around to that soon Have a good day!

Okkkkaaaaayyyyyyy.... So my plants are growing pretty well Still no fertilizers or additives in this tank.. it's going great.
I did get rid of my African Dwarf Frogs for the simple fact that I'm getting shrimp soon and they slaughtered the last set of shrimp I had :/
My amazon sword is doing this strange (but really cool) thing.. It has this stem coming from the plant with smaller, sword looking leaves on it.. You can see it in one of the pictures below. What is this and does anyone know why?
Also.. my snail population is going insane.. I may have to get a dwarf puffer tank setup one day soon xD

Tell me what you think! Any comments or concerns or anything are always welcome. Thank you guys! Have a great day

The tank is looking good! That stem coming out of the sword is kinda like a runner... It will produce a new sword plant or two. when they have a few leaves and drop roots you can pinch them off and have a new plantlet when emersed, amazon swords will flower, but this is what you get submerged if I understand it correctly. If you pinch them off instead of "cutting the cord", you may get a second round of plantlets... I did.

That's amazing!! I had no idea Thank you! I'm excited to be able to have another sword plant if that's what it turns out to be

 

[Jemi39]

So.. I suspect my sword is being eaten.. I don't know if that's true or not. Can anyone help me out? It's in more spots on the plant other than these two. They were just tricky to get pictures of with my phone xD Thank you! Hope everyone is having a good day

Looks like the neighborhood kids have been trying out their new BB guns. How old is the sword? It was suggested in another thread (today) that it could be either former emersed growth melting or a calcium deficiency. Reference: Kyle and Byron respectively.

I cant really tell what happening. Melting usually affects the whole leaf. Same with a deficency. If i had to guess i would say something may be eating it. I havent kept up with this thread so i dont know the stocking. What fish/inverts call this tank home?

BB guns... that takes me back xD It's roughly 3 months old. A new leaf appears about every week now... sometimes more, sometimes less. I thought it was melting, but I was reading and some places say that it could also be snails. If it is a calcium defficiency, how would I go about testing/correcting that problem?

 

[ktrom13]

To treat for calcium deficency you just need to add calcium. I have no experience with a calcoum defiency so i dont know how it looks. You can add root tabs to help wth nutrients. Also it could very well be snails. Some snails will eat foliage if they cant find food.
