Here this FTS should make it clearer (the clip). This is before a WC and after pulling at least 30 nice plants so it is a bit messy but I wanted to get a shot out before I go away for a week.
I couldn't decide which light setting I liked best, your choices? I think I like the 1st and 4th the best, the most different from each other ones lol.
Pulling crypts out of a tank like this was something I was dreading! All those plants growing SO well? All those roots? So tightly packed! It was SO easy and hardly made a mess at all! Only 1 plant gave me any trouble and it was an affinis that was mis-planted right in the middle of the nurii and it was only slightly problematic, like I had to pull on it harder lol. I love my Oil-Dri!
I think I now have all the plants sorted correctly. When I first planted they were hard to tell apart but now that they are in good growing conditions they are easily distinguishable.
The balansae is doing better but not great and if it melts back again I am going to replace it. Any suggestions? for plants or what to do with the space in general. Yes, I know this is not very "aquascaped" but that is not the goal here. My goal was to have big beautiful healthy crypts. And I must say I was VERY proud of the cyrpts I gave away, and they were mostly young plants even.
