How To Make Laundry Baskets

Sostituzione lampada - alghe

After about a month after the exchange of the lamp, on time, despite all the precautions came the algae. Some
staghorn are present on the leaf margins of Microsorum. Only a few leaves have already ruined the problem ... I solved that with the removal of the offending leaves. The classic filamentous
at this time are visible only on a clump of moss.
The bush, moreover, had an exponential growth in the last week, I mistakenly attributed to other factors and non all'incremento luminoso.
Ecco lo sviluppo in momenti diversi:

E' più che evidente come la crescita dell'ultimo mese sia molto maggiore di quella precedente durata 2 mesi. Tale crescita è molto maggiore di quello che le foto fanno percepire sia per il diverso angolo di campo delle stesse sia per il fatto che la parte maggiore della crescita è avvenuta in direzione perpendicolare al piano della foto.

Analizzando bene l'ultima foto si nota, intorno agli steli del muschio, un alone verde che non è dovuto ad a problem focus of the photo, but the fibrous particles. The problem manifested itself in all its evidence three days after shooting.

The hypothesis discussed with other acquascapers that the decrease in summer temperatures contributed to the growth of moss at this point is invalidated. I am not convinced, however much this hypothesis because the moss is indicted Taxiphyllum barbers and Aquamoss site (which I think is a good source for the argument) indicates clearly that the moss continues to have good growth even at temperatures exceeding 30 ° C. Temperature not recall ever passed in the aquarium during the 'last summer.

Another hypothesis was that the increase di fertilizzazione di Carbonio Organico (Azoo Carbon Plus: 2ml in più alla settimana su 80l netti di acqua) avesse contribuito alla crescita. Tale ipotesi non contrasta con la presenza delle alghe in quanto anch'esse potrebebro avere tratto giovamento dalla maggior fertilizzazione, soprattutto in presenza di una maggiore intensità luminosa.
Per risolvere il problema ho effettuato il solito cambio settimanale accompagnandolo ad una migliore pulizia della vasca. Ho mantenuto la fertilizzazione invariata ed ho ridotto di 30 minuti il fotoperiodo ritardando l'accensione delle lampade al mattino.

Sostituzione lampada (3)

E' passato quasi un anno dall'ultimo cambio lampade then, having noticed the first signs of exhaustion of neon, I proceeded to buy another tube identical to the previous Philips Master TL-D Super 80 30W/865 1SL. Not having changed colors and there is some hope in time to avoid the algae problem last year.
The brighter the neon new date is not visible to the naked eye but the photos with the same camera settings I point out a better light.





I took advantage of the weekend is also a strong pruning because plants had reached the surface is thoroughly because the Cardamine Lyrata is again in decline. Given the health of other plants and saw that it is producing Cardamine weeds I'm assuming that the plant is subject to a vegetative season. For the time is not reflected on the subject so I will continue to seek information.
The overall view, now that I've created a new empty spaces is certainly more harmonious.

What Does It Mean To Masterbait

IAPLC

In mid August I received a letter from Nigata 新泻 市 , (JP).



Since we did not get a lot of mail from Japan (and as the ADA logo was prominently displayed), it was obvious that the entry of the results of participation in ' International Aquatic Plants Layout Contest 2009.
L 'was a lot of emotion even though expectations were nil ... I did not expect a last place but almost ... Inside the envelope

two sheets:


an invitation to the Nature Aquarium Party to be held October 17 in Tokyo 东京 and certificate of participation with the ranking of my tank: 969 on 1342 participants. A result of at least encouraging that pushes me to improve myself.

From the date when I took this picture for the competition has certainly improved the bath as you can see from the most recent photos.



The plants grow quickly but not always and not all are in perfect shape. Recently, to reduce rabocchi necessary due to increased evaporation, leading to summer temperatures, have slightly increased the water level going to cover half the outlet pipe from the filter.



E 'was deleted as a jump of about a couple of millimeters that the water was to get back into the tank and currents have moved very clearly inside it. The consequence of this seems to be that the Hemianthus callitrichoides so far found it hard, he suddenly started to grow. It is still nice to see, but instead continue to decline shows signs of improvement ... At this point I doubt whether the speed or direction of the currents absent yourself of the nutrients from the plant.
rule out the possibility that the improvement is due to a lower dispersion of CO2 (less turbulent flow of return) as the organic carbon using mostly administered as a liquid fertilizer.
I'll still check for any deficiencies in that ultimately leaves Microsorum apical chlorosis have significant ...
