    My planted tank update IV (11/01/2003)

    Hi all,

    It has been a some time since I posted my tank pics. These are the most recent pictures. Please feel free to comment.

    Shown below is the flower of Nuphar Japonica. Added some Jobes sticks before the flower slowly developed and popped out of the water surface. Jobes sticks are power man! [].


    Next, the latest pics of my 5ft tank. Got the big piece of driftwood from Teo few months ago. Stained the water yellow quite a bit. Now it is much better.


    My glosso will need trimming soon. Wait for the giveaway.

    Tank from another angle. My lace plant almost got covered by the glosso. Can you spot it?

    Nice tank. Maybe it's time for you to trim the glossostigma, they are growing upwards. sooner or later the lower stem will rot and you will have floating glossostigma.

    hey wei cheng, how come your glosso growing upwards?
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    Where can I get Jobes sticks?
    Don't bother if its Black cats or White cats, so long as it can catch Rats. Its a Good Cat.

    wilquek,
    I lazy to trim .


    hwchoy,
    Initially, the glosso is crawling. After some time, the substrate becomes packed and they started crawling on top of each other. Most started to grow upwards. I will adjust the MH lights downwards. Hope the spot algae dun strike again.


    Irn-Bru,
    I got my tank 2nd hand.


    TTL,
    I got the jobes sticks from Far East Florist along Thomson Road.

    TTL, don't know how much you know about Jobe Sticks, but please read this.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    Nice pics... and good layout... [] Your Rotala Macandra is also very red (at least is looks like a rotala macandra). Generally good. Could you take a full frontal pic though? thats the most preferred view usually

    Sure Allen,
    There isnt enough distance between the tank and camera to take the whole frontal picture. Need to take 3 separate sections and stitch them up using software. Thats why I seldom post frontal picture.

    Nice work, Vincent! I am sure your fishes are happy as well in their beautiful garden.
    Glosso getting thick, but very nice effect. Since they seem to be growing straight up, seems like it could take a longer time for bottom to get insufficient light and rot. So can enjoy more with less trimming.
