nice layout of the tank...still got alot to learn from you guys...

[PROX]

ilubit - thanks.

Been a while since i post up pics...



...Day 132. GDA on the rocks is no longer visible. I suspect daily dosing of BW growth couple with 1-2 drops of ADA Phyton Git slowly suppress the growth. Clean rocks without scrubbing but I didn't get to hide "brown" coloration on lava rocks.



Close up of Glosso growth after inserting BW Boost A into the soil. Earlier it was slightly yellowish and not so compact.

The lush and nice carpet. Do you still keep the CO2 at the same bps?

[PROX]

yeap..this tank is considered low maintenance. Only daily dosing of liquid fert before i leave home.

Sorry to interrupt the thread, May I know is there any shops that's selling BW boost A in Eastern side of Singapore? Cannot resist seeing your glosso growing so nicely, want to get some to try out myself.

[tirtha1979]

Simply mindblowing. Simply but superb. I am closely following every steps you are doing and will copy you as soon as possible.

[PROX]

tirtha1979 - looking forward to see your tank

Very nice, trying to grow glosso in my 4ft tank but not very successful. Glosso melt away.

Hey, do you know if invertebrates are sensitive to the ferts and subs revitaliser?

[Jovel]

your tank's so inspiring! may i ask what parameters did you maintain your tank under? PH, temperature, and such. And how did you calculate how much ferts to dose? im currently using growth and ferka's balance k for my 2ft, but kinda scared that I overdo it. thanks!
