Growth

Look how things have grown in 7 days, in terms of additions, and more importantly in terms of height. The wisteria that Wet Pet sold me has grown an inch. I can see the new growth has healthier looking leaves. It's very exciting.

And here's a photo from Sunday, which was seven, nay, six days ago. Other changes have included the addition of anubias and a crypt, more wisteria of a different variety, and ludwigia. I have yet to see how that's handling my tank.

Right now, for lack of anything better, I'm fertilizing with Tetra Flora Pride. I've read good things about it. I'm keeping a close eye on algae growth. As discussed Monday, I have this actinic bulb and this 10,000k bulb. I'm nervous about them but if the wisteria has grown (idiot-proof, remember), maybe I'm not all wrong. I do think my sword would appreciate some root tabs. And in the other tanks I need to get around to tying anubias and java ferns to items in the tank.

I'm getting tired. I've spent...a lot of money this week. $500? Easily. 

If I were really into this, I'd use a real camera instead of an iPhone. But I barely have time to sit and blog as it is. Right now my children are in a box. Don't get me wrong, they put themselves in there. But they are, indeed, boxed up.

Edit: Bleu Betta jumped out of his box. I'd better put him back in. He's being watched closely. He's gone back to the outside of his box to hide. I'll do him a favor.
