Vader, when you do start cutting your hydros, I would love to have a few ;p

If you're in the greater DC area, I could probably set you up with some nice Hygro.

what kind of hygro is it?

Tophat665 · Nov 5, 2008

Well, the stuff Vader has in his tank is H. corymbosa v. standard. I've got that, H. corymbosa v. angustifolia (with the narrow leaves), and H. polysperma v. Sunsest (which I don't believe I can take out of state. It's a noxious weed in more than a few states.)

I'm in Michigan, so I would need it shipped.... plus I only can do cash only.

Just got back from a business trip... tank clean and shots tomorrow as the wood MUST have logged by now

Murphy's law states....

Your CO2 WILL run down dramatically to near empty to coincide with your business trip out of town. Furthermore, the gas WILL completely expire on Sunday when the Airgas store is closed..... :wall:

Tomorrow's going to be fun.

The tanks (and Asia in particluar) were due for a clean/big trim after returning from my business trip. I did made the trip out to get a new CO2 pony bottle; at least the manzanita waterlogged while I was away. Hard cuts on the Hygro corymbosa this time around.

Double tank shots

Grow Comps.... GROW

I'm experimenting with positioning the manzanita stump in a few different positons.

New full tank shot of the SE Asian Biotope.

The tank also has 11 new zebra danios for some additional schooling effect (too bad they won't 'pose' for the camera). I'm seriously considering getting a better camera for Christmas.
