That's me in my natural habitat. Now that I've been captured and tagged, they released me back into the wild 8)
I've now started to work on reducing things for better management for the client.
He only trims the tank maybe 1x every 1-2 months now.
It has 4000W of metal halide light, but we...
Well, hopefully the client will decide more towards a nice theme biotope, not some much justa mish mash of various species.
That will take time.
The client is a fish hobbyists more than the plants, but has come along way, so that is why things are the way they are, he pays me, not the other...
Hi, Update on this tank, it's EI dosed and doing wonderfully.
And a semi close up, I'll have more pictures and video, since you cannot tell just how fun it is to watch the tank from a 2D photo :bonk:
This tank is large and is extremely stable now that the plants have filled in more. This...
BTW, several folks asked about the meter, it was calibrated and measured fine with a LiCOR I have at work. Another person asked about the HQI bulbs, I have the same bulbs at home, they are in another fixture. This would suggest it is the ballast and perhaps the reflector fixtures etc. A simple...

Same thing here.

If you see the front edge of the HC, it's now been trimmed away.
I used a plastic paint scraper and cut HC "sod" pieces(actually long strips). Then pull these strips up and sold them.
This keeps the front edge looking well cared for and prevents the HC from building up and pressing against...
Halo,
HC easily grows as a terrarium plant indefinitely.
Several of the local club members grow it this way to sell.
At 50$ per 30cm sq, it's pretty good plant to raise for extra $.
Yes, I have a tank full of hairgrass outside growing like this.
Yes, placing a cover keeps the humidity...
Update and a method I use to maintain the mat of HC:
The edge immediately after trimming, nice and clean, no roots.
Time: 3-4 minutes.
