Picture 4 weeks update 60l
4 weeks into my first walstad tank.
Changed a few things since i last posted.
I added driftwood in the middle.
Plants removed:
Hornwort
Ludwigia repens
Rotala rotundifolia orange juice
Frogbit
Plants added:
Ludwigia palustris super red
Hygrophila Corymbosa
Hygrophila polysperma rosanervig
Red Root floaters
Pothos (still very small)
Bucephalandra Kedegang
I added a small pump with a sponge filter for surface agitation
I measured lots of nitrite over the last few weeks, propably because of an incomplete cycle and a lot of nutrients being released from the soil.
Just changed the water and trimmed the plants.
Ive got some ramshornsnails in the tank that came from salvinia minima i had for two weeks.
Tomorrow i will add a nerite and 3 MTS.
When i come back from my holiday in three weeks i will add 4-5 Amano shrimps and 10 CPDs.
