Rockscape

[eddyq]

Update: Almost 2 months old.

Added 50 Gan's small size brasil cardinal tetras. Started dosing JBL Ferropol liquid fertilizer daily. PH is around 6.0.

Decided to removed dwarf hairgrass to let Echinodorus Tenellus creep better. The Eleocharis Vivipara growing quite tall and so is the glosso spreading.

Also got green spot algae on the front glass and on the rocks. Hungery Yamato shrimps can be seen nipping on the rock affected.

Here another picture of lower water level to bring more effect of the hovering Eleocharis Vivipara over the rocks.

[eddyq]

Update: About 3 months old. Removed glosso and leave them on the centre, and plant more E. Tenellus. Had pruned E. Vivipara twice already. Changed lightings to 4 ft Matrix PL 4x 55 w.

It looks overgrown! The rocks have been devoured by the plants.

Do you have the tendency to get algae amongst the Eleocharis vivipara?

[grey_fox]

eddyq very amano-ish indeed in your first design.

Looks like you really thought about the design thoroughly then.

Gotta housekeep it all but do keep us updated bro!

squee:
Now that you mentioned yes will prune the grasses and no, no algae on the Eleocharis Vivipara. Only got green spot algae on the glass and on the rocks, which yamato shrimps helps to maintain it. So will increase more PO4 to combat green spot.

grey fox:
Thanks for your kind words.

wow eddyq, nice rockscape there!!!

how long it took for the plants especially E.Tenellus to grow/spread this much? i like the wild feelings it create at the foreground....POWER!!!

[eddyq]

Did a trimming to expose the rocks, this morning.

ronald_t80: Thanks, this scape is about 3 months old.

[ilgio]

what type of rocks are it? ada dragon?

[eddyq]

It should be ada ohko rocks.

[Fei Miao]

Healthy growth, but I prefer the scape at 2 months old, needs more trimmings and tidying up IMO.

The rock are really pretty how much does it cost?

[eddyq]

When I brought it last year it was 4 buck per kilo.

[garythay]

$4 is quite resonable try to get some at C328. Thanks for sharing.
