Tanks looking good- I never had the discipline to run multiple tanks- looks like you have it down. Xenia- is growing out of control in mine- I really don't care for it either- gonna have to address it soon!

Thanks. Still a lot left to do in this tank. Maybe this long weekend I'm going to try to frag the cloves and glue them to the tree.

 

Xenia is easy to remove if you don't tear it.

[MikeTR]

Not really much you can do to frag them cloves except carve out the rock underneath them. Good luck otherwise.

as much as it's a nuisance, that pest algae that looks like pink cotton candy might actually add to the mossy look.

What's your best method of removal tweezers? Gently pry it up and peel back?

I've been able to peel them back with my fingers better than with tweezers. They're slimy so it takes a bit of practice but they pell off without leaving bits behind and without getting too terribly pissed off.

I always tell people, but they don't wanna listen.

the tank doesn't have that much food, i put in a lil bit for the neon goby. I lost 2 snails also. I need to up the food a tad.

So the last day to add livestock to this tank for the competition is Sept 10th which is just around the corner. The plan is that if the clove grafts don't take off, the GSP makes it's way to the branches and the bottom gets covered with the sand. This way the GSP that I need is already in the tank and is not a new purchase.

 

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I think that's a great idea. Maybe even go that route anyways? I'd use black sand, though, because it's kind of the color of soil. That or mix some black and regular sand.

[metrokat]

Tank is too dark because the tree casts a shadow on the bottom so white sand is better. Anybody have some fiji pink?

I could buy a zip lock size.

[tibbsy07]

If you want some special grade, I'll just send you some free of charge.

[metrokat]

Thanks Doc, my main tank has special grade. I wanted something different for the pico.

[metrokat]

I has sand. And crap.
Had to put it all back in but rest assured the sand will be s(t)and alone.

First time seeing this build. Just read the whole thread. Very creative. Nice work. Definitely different, which imo is awesome cheers!
