2ft Optiwhite - The Rising Sun

very lovely tank blue...this is indeed an inspiration for my office tank rescape

I'm waiting for my Rotala sp. 'green' to grow high enough for me to trim so that I can have them nice and bushy...they grow really slowly!

Thank you for your compliment! Actually i've quite no of new idea for new setup and so, but no space and time for it.

Rotala need lots of strong light and nutrients to grow, to get bushy you got to trim them pretty short, then they grow more new shoots at side.

Yes! About 4 bps!

woa, so high .

I'm adjusting mine about 1bps for my tank with the drop checker already indicating light green; might to due to direct flow of co2.

Actually drop checker is not that accurate, you got to look at the plant and the fauna, that would tell you how much to add CO2. Most of CAU forum, the professionals are using 4bps also. Test kits usually are not that accurate.

There are lots of low tech plant you can plant. Look at Evolutionz low tech tank also looks very good.

Agree illumnae.

Blue33,
By the way, any dead spots on the far right hand corner of the tank ? How i perceive the follow to be is front left intake, outflow from left to maybe slightly over mid right ?

[blue33]

Thanks Torque6! So far i've tested lily pipe, but find the flow was not that good, lily pipe is more for non blockage space, so i've switch to rainbar and study eheim setup, so i pull my rainbar more to the left instead to create strong flow to the right and it works. I'm using Eheim 2026, 950l/hr.
