Looks great. How often do you anticipate trimming?
it's about getting the word out about planted tanks. the only other way people may ever see one, is by surfing the net and finding one by chance, or visiting a LFS and seeing maybe a tank that's full of algae usually not looked after in months.
this is my wife looking into the tank....
now were getting close to the second trim of rotala....
trimmed....
you may notice i haven't trimmed from the centre upwards to the sides?....that's because there's an annoying glass rim inside the tank which impedes light, so the plants on the outside grow slower than those in the middle.....
at this stage of the tanks life, there are just 6 ottos and about 30/40 amano shrimp.
my wife and son.....
hopefully you can see that dosing schedule is spot on! I've not had any algae problems from start up
