So nice man...the plants all grow well and healthy...but the mosses a bit yellowish..is it too hot?

Guillermo

Thanks for sharing the plant list. Sorry for the late response.

Firefox , moss is a bit yellowish on a few spots , seems like it happens when it is right under the lights (and i don't use so much light , only 36W in T8 ), in comparison it is much healthier and green in the shade...
actually i never succeeded in having perfect moss , even though i try to take real good care of it , trim it often etc... is there any trick???

this really looks impressive!

Hi
One the problems with mosses it's high temperature.
Try to keep it under 25 °Celsius/77 °Fahrenheit.

thanks for the tip Joe

my tank temperature was already at 25C , i put it down to 24C , hopping it will get better

i did a small plantation change , removed the hygrophilia sp from the left back corner , and densified the green rotala in this part too , i think it will effectively look better

here are a few pics showing the evolution of the lilaeopsis roots , seems like it grows 'kind of' faster after all

the 5th week



the 7th week (a bit blurry sorry)



the 8th week



i'll post a few full tank pics soon
