Congratulations on your successful setup! You can mown the HC, they tends to overlap each other after sometime and below HC will turn brown.

[torque6]

So given my above growth, should start mowing or wait? Also i to begin conceptualizing how to trim and compact both the rotalas and najesan , any thoughts ?

[blue33]

You can trim those uneven one first, or replant those trim.

Better not... else you may get fried.

Been getting alot of good responses after i put a sale thread on my submersed HC.

I will be cutting as much strays as possible and passing them to bros here on AQ. With its longer stems, planting in stocks of 5 will certainly be easy. No more floating issue .

Not to mentioned 100% adaptablity since its already submersed !

thanks guys for all the responses.

HC all taken, but still feel a bit thick on the foreground. will post some pics these coming week.

Nice tank with nice plant layout torque6!!! [Like the way you planted in your Rotalas & other plants, so distinct & swee!!] Your HC grows so fast & so nice, envy man. [Those that I got from you previously seems to be dying on me again... Looks like I have no fate with HC lah... ]

Hee... I also like GEX's Hang-on filter sue to its spacious compartment for more filter media... [that's why was 'shocked' when I realised it was not part of the deal back then... ]

Wow! Your alpha male (BB) looks great!! Mine haven't turned so read like yours leh... but all are doing well in my tank currently (That's good enough for me...)

Always like to read your thread to learn new skills & info... Keep us updated!

Thanks for the compliment, sorry about the gex filter as i posted above, you've seen how impt it was for my new 1FT. So really cant let go. very sorry.

Which plant is dying by the way? the HC or rotalas?

Heh, no worries bro on the GEX filter... Can understand from a diehard hobbyist's viewpoint...

Oh.. It's the HC that I don't have much luck with... Always have problem trying to root them into my substrate... The Rotalas are doing fine currently, sprouting many new leaves at the top part... Will trim the bottem off when free to allow it to grow better in the future...

Thanks!

If you are still using my small gex tank, what u can do is drain the water, then plant the HC. My current setup is only have >3wpg with co2, no ferts and they are growing, but ive seen ppl using excel with some success.

Surprisingly spotted hair algae on the glass front yesterday?!! Did i overload the biomedia ?

[torque6]

Have done a small water change siphoning out the hair algae and rinsed the biomedia in existing tank water. Coming this few weeks, i will monitor the algae issues and identify if gex carbon pad/cc -> algae.

Since i've havent pinpointed my old algae issues or resolve any of them this past year with this filter setup.
