Journal 120 Dutch Ft. Yugang Reactor (Horizontal CO2 Reactor)

[Unexpected]

Finally, this week I picked up some GDA after I bumped the light up a bit too much. When I saw the GDA, I dropped 2 notches back from the 3 I went up. Still moving plants in and out so plants have to adjust and look meh. I'm going to order some difformis from @Burr740 and I'm firm it must remain in the scape no matter what. Some how some way I'll make it work. I've removed it every time I've tried it in the past. This last week repositioning was subpar and I'll need to focus tomorrow. No beers tomorrow sadly. The Quad is out for sure.

This is still very much a rough draft. But firstly, I've run into PO4 being lower than expected and I believe this to be where I source KH2PO4. I can clearly see it has moisture and I'm wondering if the extra weight is throwing off my measurements. That said, I won't be doing business with them going forward.

Anyways, a bit of GSA is on a few plants and the overall health seems to reflect the lower PO4. Too many reds in general and I really need to get this moss wall paneling further along. I'm thinking of swapping out the Aquatica for some Limno and removing the Corymbosa. I'm also thinking of abandoning my "style" and maybe going more traditional. This is a hard decision. Tomorrow will be a long day!

Not a great picture.


Better picture?

Is that Ludwigia Rubin in the center? And what about the red crypt-like plant in the back?
Beautiful tank as always!

It's Rubin, just freshly moved and stretched on me.

Crypt Spiralis red tiger.

What is the purple plant front right - it looks almost like a crypt of some sort but is awful purple. Did you have to spray paint it ?

Crypt Sindor I believe.

Crypt Sindor I believe.

Weird mine is growing more green than anything else - i got one from burr. It grows fast enough just without much red - actually if i'm not mistaken ti it is just a culvature of wenditti and i should be thankful it grows at all in my environment.

Let me verify.

Hmm, I can't find it. I know I bought it from Joe. @Burr740 maybe will know.
