well i've been fighting a losing battle with thread algae in my 10g. There was just too much of it tangled in my java moss...
So, I removed almost all my moss (except those stubborn ones that find its way into cracks or that hides within my lilaeopsis). And while I was doing it, the rest of my plants needed a desperate trimming... I've just been so busy with work, exams, and christmas shopping, that I couldn't find any time to keep my tank in top shape.
well anyways, I have always wanted to take a dive and try a new layout, but worry that it may turn out worse than the existing one. But I did it anyways...
I hope that the new layout will grow out nicely, and i'll be sure to post some pics when I finish up my roll of film. I'm TRYING to do a nature aquarium setup, but I tend to use too many plants cuz there's so many nice ones that I like.
Arcab: thanx for the suggestion to remove the moss.. it was getting on my nerves cuz the moss always gets tangled up with my lilaeopsis. I also tried the American Flagfish and its working pretty well.. previously, there was just too much algae in the moss for it to completely munch up.. but now I find it doing a pretty good job. I hope it'll clean up the residual thread algae left floating around the water or lying on the substrate.
