EvolutionZ's Rescaped 2ft tank.

[EvolutionZ]

erio on the right side.. some leaves turned yellow so trimmed away.
hope it can survive.

Looks a bit too fine to be rotala green, maybe najashen...

[EvolutionZ]

this are those new leaves growing out.. have been asking around for rotala and this is the only pot i got..

[torque6]

I have compared pics of rotala indica/green sp/rotundifolio/najansen submerged forms and it looks different. Najansen having the same needle like leaves right at the top. Anyway, i could be wrong.

I also find the rotala leaves too thin, may not be rotala sp green.

[EvolutionZ]

im pretty happy with this plant. not rotala also never mind

I think this plant looks better than Rotala sp. green... if you have sufficient light the tips will turn red (if I'm not mistaken). Let's wait and see

[EvolutionZ]

yea lets wait..

[torque6]

Jervis,
ya, nanjashen will turn pink on the tips.

Evo,
Looking forward on a nice growth tank. Doing well so far

[EvolutionZ]

hey guys.. will be updating with picture soon..
currently everything is growing fine.. and some changes here and there.. the didiplis diandra is also growing taller..

still deciding if i should get (K)for my tank though..

[torque6]

good work, never thought didiplis will do well in a low tech tank.

[EvolutionZ]

thanks torque. i failed 2 attempts too.. i believe its the cause of ADA II. anyway.. i just bought 500g of dry K just now.

[EvolutionZ]

today is day 27 of this set up.

flora list now :
didiplis diandra - growing well but the bottom stem seems to be turning black because of insufficent light.

rotala sp. - grow like crazy!

E.tenellus - melting seems to be over. deeply rooted too.

Crypt wendtti tropical - no melting! growing new leaves.

crypt Parva - no growth at all as far as i know.

Taiwan moss(on pebbles)

Mini taiwan moss(stuff within pebbles)

Spiky moss - pretty slow growing...

StarGrass - superb plant for mid ground stem plant.. very slow growing!

lets turn back to day 1 of my tank set up. pretty plain huh?


taken few minutes ago.


subulata melted to none few days ago.. shifted my C.wendtti here.


Taiwan moss on pebbles and mini taiwan moss stuff among them.. this will be here till i can think of something better to replace this. still find it quite nice.
star grass replaced crypt wendtti tropical previous place.

did a trim to the fast growing rotala.. added more didiplis diandra too.


spiky moss, C.parva and e.tenellus.


as usual. the side view.


this is how the tank usually looks like.. full of meshes here and there! floating crypts too!


my bottom tier... waiting to sell my last cube tank and i will be setting up another 2ft.. stay tuned!


thanks for viewing.

stargrass will grow very fast. do let me know when you going to harvest...i used to have that last time..

and for that sagis problem...sorry maybe i saw your post too late... i believe if you bury the rhizome too deep, the plants will turn yellow..

my vallis (works same way as sagis)..turned yellow when i 1st tried out the plant, and ended up planting too deep...

[blue33]

Looking very good now!

[EvolutionZ]

Taz boy,
have grown star grass before.. slow grower IMO.. the batch of star grass behind my wood has been there almost a week.. no growth yet.
no worries bro, acctually i find that the crypt tropical there is much nicer..

Thanks blue33.

[torque6]

hehehe. stargrass looks good even in a low tech, slow growing instead of fast. Guess i am confirming mine for a midground as well with either indica or sp green as back drop.
