Go to sleep fool! it's like 2:22am. Updates or ban.

With no water, should you be adding CO2 into the air with or without ventilation, especially with the tank sealed up like that?

Very large school of neons would look cool with your setup

no, no co2 needs to be added. the plants pull the co2 from the atmosphere. not sure how since its sealed, but they just do!

WOw... I just typed out a whole bunch of stuff on outdoor plants and CO2 bottle systems and I hit submit and it says Page cannot be displayed...

Here's a harcore version.
Yours is a tank and not a storage shed, but you get the idea

Might be something interesting to look into, not sure how increased the growth rates would be but it might be fun to do.

ok guys, heres some long awaited updates. its been pretty much a two full weeks since i planted the HC and its really starting to grow. please note that friday of last week i received some more HC from RMC. they sent this free since i told them the first batch was in bad shape. you can sort of tell which bunches are the new stuff. its the ones with the older leaves that are going through the slight melt down.

so, what do you guys think? not bad for two weeks right? imagine how it will look in another month

I must be blind.. I don;t see much difference But that is likely cause i haven't watched it grow like you have!! Still looks nice!

 

[jcardona1]
