Oasis/ Journal of a 20L

Thank you Pat. I am still playing with what plants will stay and won't.

[John N.]

Bravo! Plants are looking very healthy and vibrant. Looks like you have the growing plants thing down. You're gonna have a tough decision on what plants to keep and what not to keep. All look really good.

The little bonsai is erodium w/ root over rock. I just got a very nice little Japanese juniper today, 9 years old.

Carole, I've kept meaning to ask you- what's that little plant in the bottom nano, on the left in front of the rock?

(BTW Walstad makes good bathroom reading )

[waterfaller1]

Hi Lauralee! That's my HC that grows, but grows tall there due to relatively low light~13 wt pc's. I am glad you are making good use of the book.

Happy 4th of July!
Some new plants & some removed. Still having hazy water issues.



Pics aren't that great..will work on some better ones. I need to get this water clear before it will look it's best.

Did a big trim on R. verticillaris and changed 1 light fixture to match the other. Now the lighting is two 2 X 18 wt T-5 coralife fixtures.




Took crinum calimistratum out of cube tank.{too big}
Accidently wiped out my nana petite and had to replace it with new.

I wish I knew how, they look great. Thanks all for the comments. I will work on it as I learn more.

[HatchetHaven]

I love your Betta! I think your tanks look really cool - hmm, maybe another tank is in order?

[waterfaller1]

Hehe..NO more tanks! If I had more someone might be neglected. I have two saltwater reef tanks too, they are quite a bit of work as well. Thanks for the compliments.
I have an update to share~ I was not happy with my Ecco filter, for several reasons. So I purchased a different Eheim, a Classic 2215/37. It arrived yesterday. I purchased a set of CalAqua lily pipes from Orlando at Green Leaf Aquariums, which also came yesterday. I will be putting these on today, and will take some new pics. I also want to move the japonica over to the right in front of the drop checker, it's grown a bit too big for where it is. I have some UG coming next week to fill in part of the front, and will be trimming some more.
