Hello Terrence,
Yes there are still some white spaces that I want to keep white or possible enlarge to accentuate the clearing and then there are some spaces in which I hope the hair grass will grow into soon. I like Blyxia Japonica as well and have some in reserve to re-introduce back once I know where or should I say feel comfortable to plant them.
The previous photo was taken by experts [Benny and Chris] it has such rich, crisp detail and good contrast and is a source of enjoyment to look at. The darker photo with less contrast, that is not crisp was taken by myself with less than perfect equipment and is the result a lot of trial and error with a cheap camera.
Hello Standoyo,
yes it a been a while since I have been active on the forum. The algae that I have are not BBA, and thankful it is not as I am not sure if I could conquer BBA. This it is a green fuzzy 2 mm long threads, but not quite threads. These 2mm long bits appear quickly and have been a source of frustration.
What I have noticed is this stuff avoids my rocks, but loves to attach itself to glass, hence my rocks are not looking aged at all!
I guess I need to do something about my spaces [clearings] make them more obvious so they do not look like bald spots. I try to restrict my plant list to 5 +/- 2 and can almost count the blyxa aubertii & blyxa Japonica as one kind.
Current plant list:
1. Dwarf Hair Grass [Eleocharis acicularis]
2. Blyxa Japonica
3. Blyxa Aubertii
4. Hygrophila difformis
5. Aponogeton Longiplumulosus.
6. Java Moss
I did think that the B Auberitii would grow higher, so it must be the lights keeping it compact? I did try a red plant for a short time, but whilst it caught ones attention it turned green quickly and removed it as this its purpose was gone.
