Plant Tank

I need this stuff to grow. and grow FAST!!!

Details:
The vase is a 9L cylinder vase.
Equipment is a 11W Compact florescent. and a 25W heater set at 26 degrees celcious
I have ADA soil, a bit of laterlite, (5cm deep at back 3 at front) 2x Ferro Tablets in the soil (somewhere)
In the water i have some Aquamaster Plant food
Plants: Val grass, separated and individual planted
Java Moss floating on the surface.
Now grow little ones! Be strong!

Note: Its muggy now as its only been 30mins but i expect it to clear up by the morning

Question: Do i need filtration?

Shopping

Today i've bought heaps!
  • 1x Val Grass
  • 2x Hair Grass
  • 3x Fluffy Stuff
  • 1x java moss
  • 1x Christmas moss
I'm hoping to culture the mosses first before planting out.

Steph and I enjoyed a good hour at SS in Maroubra, chatting with Michelle and a very excited young sales man and Michelle's parents.

I nearly fainted when they gave me a quote for the CO2 gas canister/difffuser and regualator! that alone was almost $200! (i think ill wait til Hong Kong)

We got swish a new tank (see prev blog) and some ADA soil, nice red africana stuff. That doesn't need washing!!! pretty good huh?
