Last look of it...

Ahhhh... I love rescapes. Especially the moment when you decide to make a decision to start a new.

If only life had a rescape button... Sigh.

[fireblade]

to rescape, first have to clear the shits...
I think same as life... clear those shits and our life will be rescaped

[Ingen]

I hate clearing of the shit hahah

[fireblade]

Finally clean the soil... still very dirty...



First try..



2nd try think I like this placement...



spreading the seeds


after spreading the seeds... cover up



a brighter picture

Sprinkle the seeds on Friday evening , this is how it looks today (Monday)
should have put a layer of soil on top.. but forgot and now regretted looks like the roots are moldy..




This looks like hairgrass? some of the roots are about 1cm long and rooted into the soil!



another look of it..





foreground supposed to be glosso



hopefully can fill up soon...

[limz_777]

its grown from seed ?

[fireblade]

Yes. .from seeds. . Friday sprinkle, Monday grow so tall

[fireblade]

another day update...

foreground looks like growing well...






Background over taking by mold can see some browning too... feel like topping up with water .....







This is how much they grow within a few days..

[fireblade]

wonder if spray with anti fungus medication for fish will help or not...

[fireblade]

don't want to wait liao... just do it!
topped up the tank on Tuesday

topping up


with lights on






just after top up...
no floating of any plants.. which is a good sign..
I think it is because when the seed germinate, there is a layer of gel clinging on to the soil hence there is no floating.



Wednesday-- looks a bit cloudy... hope it will clear up soon..

Got from tao bao... Glosso seeds turn out to be the same as what east ocean is selling. . Hair grass all turned brown. .not sure if I've done it correctly. .

I tried the same seeds. They grow very well in DSM. The plantlets shot up in 3 days....and looked green and nice...waited a week before flooding the tank. Once tank was flooded, they started to melt within 2 days and some started uprooting. I gave up....ended up removing everything by hand and did a rescape.

after 3 months...
the leaves gets bigger... some of them turning red.. not sure if it is red or brown though...
many of them floated though..
