This was tonight.
This was Oct 5 when it was planted.
I started a new thread because I posted the pics too large and they take a while, but here is the old thread.
I added the charcoal and ugly H-O-Front filter because I had one day of a low ammonia read, and some BBA on damaged Val leaves. I really didn't want to see this tank get taken over by BBA. Nor do I want to do massive water changes if I don't have to- the garden doesn't need watering right now and I still use a bucket. Not convenient.
I added the Amazon sword today and moved a rock. The sword is in a dead spot because of that, gravel only. I expect it'll reach out an inch or so into the soil, if it continues to look bad I'll add a dirt cube to it. This plant didn't look good in the store, so we'll see if I can save it. I did push the rock down all the way to the floor when I put it in, so hopefully it won't cause problems either. I've actually trimmed the tallest Ludwigia and H. Polysperma twice, to fill in areas. Still no background. And we all got a cold so I didn't go to the fish auction. :-({|=
