EvoZ's 422 planted tank.

[EvolutionZ]

If Glosso can grow HC sure can. Just leave it and give it more time. So how long is it since the HC are planted?

Its been almost 2 months since they are planted, i seriously doubt they need so long to spread.. could be my water, could be my soil.. but well, they have since been removed and my glosso are spreading quite quickly..

ahhh, sorry to hear that about the HC.. really wanted to see the end result of it because it'll be my first time planting HC in my next set up. good luck with the Glosso!

Dont worry, just give it a try.. im happy that glossos are doing just fine..

Noticed that i had not been updating this thread.. had been really busy.. so as of today, the tank is almost 2 months old.. plants are bubbling everyday and trimming is required every 2 weeks.. my taiwan mosses are growing so fast and thick that every month of trimming would leave me with roughly ~5 tubs of taiwan moss.. gosh..

Another thing is that, my HC has not grown at all even after planting for 2 months.. just last week, i planted glosso over some empty spaces and they are already covering the foreground pretty fast..

Heres a pic of my tank when its just 2 weeks old.. below pics shows the growth after 6 weeks..


Apologies for the cloudy tank, just did WC and trimming of moss and lots of dirt are stirred up..


My stem plants..


The main inhabitants of my 422.. albino discus..

I am looking for something like this since it is really a bit expensive for nana
