Got tired of Riccia and so pulled them all out. Also got tired of Stem plants, pulled them all out.... Picked up a bag of ADA Brighty sand and set too it.
Standard fare. Nothing really innovative in this layout. Just wanted something cleaner to work with (no more trimming...and more importantly no more netting riccia. )
Unfortunately I have a ton of riccia, a ton of tenellus, a ton of j.blyxa, and a ton of Rotala. All careless dumped into a tiny 30cm tank with one Abeni Puffer and one Yamato Numa Shrimp.
===========================
I cannot rescape without having one big disaster. Today's disaster was: shut off eheim, closed taps, siphoned some water into spare tank removed plants, captured inhabitants and moved into spar tank, added heater and airstone, emptied water, cleaned, rescaped, filled tank, moved inhabitants back, started eheim... GYAH! WTF?! tank draining by the second, water seeping out under cabinet, WTF? closed eheim taps. After inspection, I left the CO2 on... damnit. At some point in time the co2 build up (I use an external mixer that feeds into the eheim intake) blew the top off the eheim open, popping the locks and bending them out of shape. Sigh . . . note to self. Turn off CO2 every time. Bent the locks back into the shape (only two) and put them back on. Everything kosher... for now.
