For a quick little update, I finally got around to hooking up my CO2 and start a light fert regimen. The water is still going brown, but it seems to be 'darkening' at a slower rate then when I first set it up (the first few days I mean) so I figure a few more water changes (one planned for tomorrow) and ti should be clear enough for the lighting to penetrate good enough, and hopefully for a half decent picture.
As you will see once I get a pic up, the vals are shading out much of my hairgrass, some riccia, and less importantly, some java fern. I do not think the ferns will mind much, but the hairgrass and riccia might, so I may do some serious pruning this weekend, after giving them two weeks or so to acclimate themselves. |
