Hi guys,

I was wondering what you thought of my tank?, it's basically my hygro setup :? I'm working on shaping the hygro as it grows. It's been running for about 3 months and did have a big hair algae breakout, but now it is virtually algae free, apart from the odd bit on the glass. For me that's a miracle and it's never happened before! I think it must be something to do with the yamato shrimp I've put in there.

Anyway I just thought I'd share as this site has given me a lot of inspiration and keeps me going.

It is coming along very nicely. thank you for sharing

Welcome to the forum

Also, have you had problems with holes in your older leaves. I have some green hydro in a small setup and I have been having htis problem. I know it is not lacking in K, P or traces. I beleive my NO3 levels are good but that is a guess What are your NO3 levels?

I just got some hygro the other day from a friend. Its absolutely gorgeous! Looks great in your tank too BTW.

You got a nice triangel setup going here, so I think I would stick with that look. Maybe try to get the piece of driftwood to stand out better and that way make it a focal point?

Dennis: I had problems with holes in my hygro's before, and that was lack of potassium. After I startet using PMDD I never had problems with them again

thanks it's getting there I suppose, slowly.

Dennis - my no3 levels are about 5 mg/l, as for the holes there are a few on one or two plants but overall it's hole free. I think it's just some of my fish grazing them. The hygro changes colour as the plant gets taller and starts going a sorta reddy green colour. A bit like sunset hygro but I am sure it's not sunset hygro I have.

Hanzo - yes I know what you mean, I need to trim some stuff back for the driftwood you're right. There's also another piece in there which you cant even see now. The shape needs to be more defined. .
