Did a slightly better tank cover this morning... although this 1mm thick acetate (previously I used 2mm thick acrylic) is much easier to cut using normal cutter... it is not as clear as acrylic... reducing some of my lighting I think I will continue to search for a solution.



Did a rescape yesterday... moved the bogwood with Spiky Moss to another holding tank... the constant yellowish water (tannin release by the wood) is the main reason.

Here's the new layout... what do you guys think?

The water is crystal clear once more!

What are they doing?

Sad... there's no turning back

By the way my Blyxa japonica is rooting quite nicely... already reached the bottom



Got an ID for this plant... Blyxa aubertii

Here's top down view of the plant... really like the fresh green leaves especially when put next to Blyxa japonica

[EvolutionZ]

I actually like both scapes, but Jervis, you did a rescape with all the inhibitants in there ?!!

Actually what I did was quite minor... I tried very hard not to affect the soil at all... basically remove the bogwood... place a piece of rock in between 2 existing rocks. That's all

Thanks!

Added a single stalk of Eriocaulon cinereum today. It looks beautiful and hopefully it will grow well in my tank

[raymond]

most likely it will grow very well with the amount of effort you have put into preparing hte base substrate

Might I suggest cutting a square hole in the center of the acrylic cover, just leaving a couple of inches of border to make a frame? I've noticed the tendency for most fish to make the leapt of faith out the corner or edge of the tank. I used to have problems with a Juwel braceless tank and my kuhli loach until I pasted triangles at the 4 corners.

[torque6]

? they always aim for the corners ?

That's a very interesting insight! Will seriously consider it... as the current acrylic cover is blocking the fan too much... resulting in high water temperature especially during non-working hours (no aircon).

[Jervis]

Finally came up with a solution for the tank cover.



A combination of 2mm thick acrylic towards the front and white plastic net towards the back.



The plastic net will allow the fan to cool the water while the crystal clear acrylic will not compromise the lighting.

I am very happy today

Snail cleaning up my CO2 diffuser once the CO2 supply stops... cute



Here's a front tank shot... with newly added Pogostemon helferi (Downoi) from Tropika



Since it is a sensitive plant... I was told to float the plants (inside a betta box) in the tank for a day or two before planting. And I also made sure that the stem (underneath the leaves) doesn't touch the soil.

What do you guys think?
