forget to add that this tank is only 1week old.
a few comments from what i see from your pics
what filter and flowrate of filter are you using?
you might want to do some rearranging of your positioning of the diffusor and rainbar so that the co2 bubbles get blown all around and directed more evenly around the tank
from my experience, positioning that way the co2 distribution won;t be even
i think your spiky moss tie too thickly.
your wood will be covered and cannot be seen at all in no time
you'll just get a big round ball of moss
better to tie in a thin single layer
unless you don't intend the wood to be seen at all
the front left corner, i'm not sure if its the pic or not.
seems abit in the shadow of the moss wood
your glosso may not creep over there

hi bro, forget to put that filter im using is eheim 2213 with flow rate of 450l/hr...
as the wood at the left.. i don't intend to see the wood at all..
and i feel like removing the wood on the left as like what you say.. its shadowing the front left part of the tank...
mean while still looking for other wood..

bro evolutionZ, SAE is moss eater wor. .becareful. Cheers
yea i know that.. i intend to get it off after it finish eating algae on my xmas moss.. but it seems that after eating all those algae.. it never touched my moss.. only muching on my HC.. will remove once i had the chance to catch it
1 other benefit why don't tie the moss so thickOriginally Posted by EvolutionZ
less chance of algae in the moss
thick moss means lesser water flow around the moss
and means the bottom moss layers won't get light and nutrients and will die eventually ==> more algae
hi guys.. thought over what lee1224 said and i have decided to remove the wood on the left. and sloop more ada towards the right and plant all the japonica beside and around the US fissiden wood on the left.. will also be buying 1 more pot of glosso to plant at the left side.
just give it a go and see how it works out
scaping sometimes is like trial and error, test and retest until you get something you like
thanks to lee1224 bro, i had removed the dw on the left yesteday and bought another pot of glosso. it look much better and also much more space for glosso to creep..
will post picture tonight.
Another Glosso lover
I'm back!
hehe... here are the tank update!..
over view.
right side with US fissiden on DW and blxya japoncia.
left side. shifted the diffusor right below the rain bar to fairly distribute the co2 around the tank.. beside the diffusor are my rotala sp "mini" propagation place and the 2 meshes are US fissiden.
most glosso plantlets is running/creeping side ways. hope they can cover and become a lawn after 3 weeks.
observe how the mini co2 bubbles are being blown around the tank
if they are reaching all over the tank then thats good co2 circulation
if not, then adjust and play around with the positioning till you get good circulation
you might want to do something to cover up the co2 diffusor???
looks kind of VERY obvious
is the left side left bare by design?
looks kind of empty.
haha.. yea the bubbles are being blown around the tank.
not much things to cover up the co2 diffusor..
hmm... yea, the 2 mesh with US fissiden will be sold away on monday. den will let the glosso creep there..
and the place will also be my rotala sp mini propagation place.
you can try and plump the co2 line into the filter outlet
then no need for diffusor le
hmm.... maybe i should try this. thanks!
hi guys, here are the new pictures update
tank overview
tank overview
right side. bylxa japoncia doing great and producing small side stems of plantlets already.
US fissiden have started to grow out new fronds.. light green colour, really nice!
Gu Jing plant i bought from y618 yesterday night. really hard to make it on the soil as it float rather easily..hope it can turn out well and propagate.
Rotala sp "mini" have cut all mother plant and replant children plant and both mother and children plant is doing great. growing and also producing side stem.
my Spiky moss ball.
sorry for the blur pictures as they are taken when my tank are misting.. can see the mist on the tank :P
and, the 4 piece of meshes are US fissiden tied on mesh. putting there untill they are sold.
