55g Planted tank (The Start)

[Bk718]

Thanks Jon

Finally found some aubertii? Growing out the wallichi down front?

Looks good.

Thanks Jeff
Yup aubertii, i got it not 2 long ago but still looking for more. Seems to be settling in the tank just fine, already see it sprouting some flowers.
And another hit on wallichii :thm:, no space for any stems in the back so got no choice but to have it in the front where it can get full light. Slowly starting to gather the plants ill need for the future tank remake.

My experience with wallichi is that it really doesn't like to be shaded, so it's probably a really good idea to keep it there while you're getting it established/waiting.

Thanks for heads up. Its only under 2wpg so im really hoping it does not start turning green. I had it for about a week now and so far the new growth still seems to be reddish.

(btw how is your blyxa looking? are all of them that hot bronze color now??)

Even though it looks more naked, that tank is still very nice BK.

Thanks David.. just wait a few days lol With the co2 blasting, its just a matter of days until it all goes to the top

Thanks Tina. Growing fast. But with feeding them 2x a day what do you expect lol

My wallichi stays pink under 2 wpg...I have it under 4 now, but under 2 it was still pink.

I did a 3 day blackout, which kind of wiped out the bronze from the blyxa....but under a week later it's already coming back. I'm really impressed with it.
