120 Gallon Dutch version 2.0

[Plantbrain]

I have about 50 of the Trithuria blood vomits, they are growing back well after the last uprooting and dividing about 3 weeks ago?

Tank is post trim so the L senegal is whacked way back as are the Rotala mini butterfly, Myrio mini and the R wallichii.

No KNO3 for 6 days last week, the E hydropiper yellowed some, the A reineckii mini had a few holes. Other plants seemed fine though. Low N is not wise.

RCS continue to grow/breed like no tomorrow, the cockeroaches of the tanks.
I redid the A reineckii and the Downoi also.

The Erio type 3 is in the rear right corner, it's really blooming up nicely like it should. It is the canary in the coal mine, a bellweather plant for me. If it does well, then everything else will also. It'll be another 2 months or so I'd say before I can trim and redo the section up to nice standards, but.........that's the way this stuff goes.

The side view shows the S. maderia and the lago grande and the dwarf canuck(you can see the differences between the madiera and the dwarf canuck pretty good now after some growth and recovery).

E hydropiper continues to expand and root well even with a little yellowing.

UG is really hyper dense. Even by my standards, the wood boxed it in. Probably should trim and replant it next week. Anyone need a fair amount of dense UG? hehe

The toughest plants for trimming and such:
Tonina, they are not topped. And there are a lot of them.
But they sell well and I have a back list of orders as they grow out.
Not a hard plant to grow...........but a PITA to trim and propagate.

Easy weeds: R mini butter fly, L tornado, Mini milfoil, H araguaia, Blood vomits, downoi, Cuphea, mosses/liverworts.

Fastest growing: R wallichii, R macandra, L sphaerocarpa.

A couple of weeks later after stuffing the holes I drilled:



Limnophila wavy guinea and Erio type 3 have come a long way:


Erio compressum has many many new side shoot plants.

Plant brain. 2nd picture from the latest post. What plant is that? Moss?

Are these the ones that you drilled holes into?

Hi Plant brain, the tank have mature beautifully. The contrast between the different plants is simply fanastic! May i ask, what is the stem plant in the picture above, arrange in the front with orange,red and green colors?

Benny, that's Ludwigia sphaerocarpa, a new plant brought into the hobby from the Eastern USA by hobbyists that search for new species to try out. It's a very nice plant. They started off at 20$ each, then 15, to 12$, then 10, then 8$ or so.
I sent some to Tropica to try for production. They will likely make their way around the hobby. Most plants do.

2nd pic is not a moss, it's a liverwort, Riccardia, aka mini pellia.
It grows more dense in this tank with the current and higher light than my 70 Gallon Buce tank.

Thanks, can't wait to get my hands on them. They are a beauty. I assume they are easy to grow since they look like stem plants, unless i am wrong.
