was busy again this weekend did a bit of tweeking,still cant seem to get that stream of bubbles to do what i want it to might need a bigger one.moved the red tiger lotus right to the back(it grows new leaves constantly never getting very tall but i always find leaves floating dont know why).eddie is still sulking to very rarely swimming from his current location he eats sparingly just nibbles what falls near him im hoping he's just adjusting to his new home.

Thanks for that info. Was it expensive to build and would you mind supplying me with your electricians information as I would love to build somethinf similar.

 

not at all i paid R9o per fitting with tube and the labour cost me a bottle of wine.a friend took me to a place i couldnt find now if my life depended on it but i do have the receipt at home i will find it and give you the address suppose to pass it on to shihr as well,been busy please forgive me.

 

dude, looks like my crypts did well in your tank

 

very nice dude i would never have thought that the deacon would be ok with all the lil ones. i have the same problem with my tiger lotuses but i do have a few surface leaves forming. i love them! they submerged leaves have such a nice pink colour and the surface leaves have nice pinkish spots on them very cool plant

oh nearly forgot are you dosing excel? maybe they dont like it?

 

ja thanx a lot shihr they are coming along nicely and showing new growth quickly.thanx @windfire ja i am dosing excel it all but killed the vallis but i see its starting up again do you think it affects the lotus as well?the leaves look healthy and are a much brighter red since the new lights.
