Pyrefly Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I should really rename this thread to Upgrade (Never Quite) Complete Took a few piccies of the shrimp tank tonight to celebrate -most- of the hair algae vanished from my ever-so-pretty fissidens. Will be tearing this tank down soon, with most of the contents going into a new 3ft venture (Alot of things just thrown in to keep them wet/let the shrimp clean them off) So - For posterity.

shadoh Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Loving the moss on the driftwood Sarah Feral or not, I am sure that a pair of wilds (or a certain type of killies) would love it in there. I am too embarrased to show photos of my 4ft algae tank :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrefly Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) Really happy with most of the growth I've gotten Jarrod. Turns out you CAN grow fissidens low-tech, it just takes longer The second tank will probably be pulled down soon as well, but I do love the jungle look personally. Do have a soft spot for my curly-val tangle... I comb it with my fingers when I do water changes I'm undecided on the killies. And the Betta Gladiator are another very tempting option. Will see how I feel when I've got things moved around. I'm even tearing down my 4ft and surrendering Shubbie-Heaven to the Oscar :o I have the same approach to algae as I do to weeds in the garden - If its pretty, it gets to stay.

Fletch Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Lol. I love the wild, overgrown look. :-). All my tanks are taking on that look now. I wish I could grow moss on a peice of wood. Sounds so simple but WHY CAN'T I GROW MOSS..........:-(. Lol. Feel better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrefly Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Thanks all for the kind words Les - I'm not sure on the exact sp. but I want to say the american variety. I got a handful as a gift from a high-tech tank person a while back, its done surprisingly well with my neglect since then. Paul - I see a mossy intervention in your future young man.

Sarah Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Where is my comment? It didn't show... Anyway, I'm loving all of your tanks, they are gorgeous! The moss on the wood looks great, and I think I now have a growing fondness for overgrown/heavily planted tanks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
