My setups

@Broder I think I just might have a case of MTS , that tank is sealed and will be tested tomorrow . I have 6 3ft tanks now , 1 60cm , 1 45cm and a small 30cm but not all running at the moment . Cant wait to add the ada and start with what ever I will do with the new tank

 

Well, I can see a tub of cuttings on top of the new tank, so I'm sure we won't have to wait too long for pics.

I always thought your dutch style tank was 4ft? Your aquascape makes it look bigger than 3ft.

 

I wanted to go 4ft but still on 3ft . I do want to try a iwagumi style as I see not many people are running these anymore ,the dutch style also needs a overhaul as its been 2 years and getting boring to see , that I want spider wood both sides and heavy planted .

 

Been way to busy the last few days . As I was planning a new scape I noticed my cherrie barb swimming in circles . Then after the 50% weekly wc she was fine again , 2 days after the same thing , then while adding water I noticed the clear water hits the tank it turns white . I suppose after 2 years not cleaning my ada it was ammonia spike . Removed the fish to the new tank for now and cleaning the old setup.
So an ID on the next 2 crypts please , check the root growth and also the one crypt shooted 2 new "stems" ?






After i cutted the colorata , about 2 days afterwards



Then removing the roots

 

Dude, is that the ADA?

 

Lol classic ADA look. Filter will clean it and some water changes.

 

Yes but like I said all the dirt after 2 years. I used the hose and rinsed along time. Got new ada but thats for a new tank

 

Any idea how long normal postage take at post office?

 

So thats dirt and not the ADA turning into mud?

 

I would put my money on dirt , but do think some will be mud . But im still happy with ADA , will use this again in the next scape

Now , i noticed breeding behavior in the pond , the new huge female but none of the eggs are fertilized as she was on top of the wool

Hi Marius, congrats on the goldfish spawn
That second crypt looks like Wendtii Tropica. Could you post a close up of the first one?

 

Most eggs are gone already , here is that close up

 

Looks like it could be Crypt becketti or crypt lutea, really not sure though. Let it grow a bit then post another pic.

 

Googled and i have some crypt lutea , so i would agree on that, i only have one crypt that has a darker leave . I will post a link to my low tech , see the crypts are doing great , will do a mostly crypt scape soon , just waiting for a lift from Pretoria .

 

Generally 5 days or less..

 

Nice Marius I love crypts as well

 

Thanks @RoGe . @Linxie , I want to start the setup but still waiting , but really want to try a marine soon , will see what comes first

 

your plants look real healthy @Marius Swart

 

@Tanked I agree , some of them are dull sometimes but in the low tech everything seems to look better than high tech
