e-mini's 1.5 ft planted aquascape

[e-mini]

Done this up a few weeks ago. Sorry about the rock as it was use to weight down the bogwood. Anything that i can improve on?

[grey_fox]

How about a bit of moss to cover up some of the branches?

[richietay]

Can see that your HG has been there growing for a while already, perhaps add more in those empty spaces?

Intend to keep fishes or shrimps in it?

[Corleone]

Yeah, should really consider adding some moss on the driftwood, and maybe some needle leave java ferns..

I like it e-mini. The drift wood positioning is good but i would have preferred a more uneven substrate line instead of a flat line. My 2 cents

Can you share

1. how much bps of CO2?
2. How much lighting, photoperiod?
3. fert regime?

I have a similar set up but lots of algae prob

Hi,
You could remove the rock after soaking the bogwoods for a few days. It happens to my bodwood too. No worries.

Cheers

for bps i think ard 1 bps or 1bubble per 2 sec will be enough for such a small tank

lighting for my 3feet tank using T5 i only on for ard 8-10hrs as i'm not using timer...

fert regime i only use those capsules type.. 4 weeks add once..

[johannes]

very nice scape, esp the wood...
need a little bit more plants though

Update of the tank after a month. The Crypt Balansae seems like melting everytime I change water.

bro, how long does it take for your jap HG to grow so nice?
its the niciest lawn on jap HG i ever seen.. my Jap HG in my nano tank without Co2 aint going much.. is co2 very important?

Takes around 1 - 2 month to grow into a nice lawn.

Co2 will enhance the growth of the hairgrass. Trimming the hairgrass will also speed up the grow rate.

thanks bro.. will be getting excel too.. thanks

[d0td0t]

indeed very nice =) cheers
but I had problem with hair grass growing too long!! the length of 15-20cm =(
