You shouldn't run into any light blocking issues with a mesh, esp if it is a clear mesh.

I also don’t expect anything dramatic, and hope my explanation above was not a too complicated reply to the question.You shouldn't run into any light blocking issues with a mesh, esp if it is a clear mesh.
Hey guys, in about 2 days I'll receive Gertrudae Aru and Iriatherina Werneri, it's my first time that I've bought fish online.
Usually I do drip acclimation to 30-40m and then net them out, how should I act considering that fishies will be in the same water for at least 24h?
I’m definitely no fish expert. Might wait for others to chime in.As promised here the photos. I can't upload directly on SC due to img size...

As I said, I didn't trimmed, the bottom part still have bad growth (some holes on leaves or cut leaves, but 0 rotting problem or algae there), but is algae free. I'm using this photos because is too easy to show a perfectly manicured tank without visible problem, but my intention is to show the differences between old and new growth, later this day I'll do maintenance, so I try my best to manicure it lol.
The plants did a complete metamorphosis since the last month, you can easily see it on this photo:
The Ludwigia brevipes changed entirely.![]()

Seems that I've finally reached some sort of "tank maturation".
@Unexpected I read a post where you said that at 6-8 month, the tank become way more manageable and healthy, the tank turned 6 months old this month.
I've added in the last month, 10 Gertrudae Aru, 6 forktail. Planning to add 10 Threadfin (Iriatherina Werneri) and 1 pearl gourami (what do you think about this one? Will it be detrimental for the other fish?)
I've quoted you about the soil maturation, I saw a comment from you where you said that at 6-8 months mark, the tank become more mature and the plants are more healthy. My tank turned 6 this month, seems that you're right.I’m definitely no fish expert. Might wait for others to chime in.
Ah, yeah, there’s something going on because many have noticed this as well.I've quoted you about the soil maturation, I saw a comment from you where you said that at 6-8 months mark, the tank become more mature and the plants are more healthy. My tank turned 6 this month, seems that you're right.
I heard that Eriocaulon are very sensitive to water params, hopefully my gh5 and kh0/1 will be enough.They should all do fine
In addition to the above, I've talked to a guy that said I couldn't ever grow plants like hygrophila lancea chai due to my lightning being too weak. Is weak a 7200lm for a 110cm tank?I heard that Eriocaulon are very sensitive to water params, hopefully my gh5 and kh0/1 will be enough.
In addition to the above, I was thinking about the Eriocaulon ratnagiricum too. I'm a bit afraid of flowering and then the premature death of the plants. How it works?

Tomorrow I'll test my par at substrate level with photone app.
