The Age of Aquariums Day 70
The Age of Aquariums Day 68
Merry Christmas.
I’ve just finished doing some pruning, cleaning and clearing which is why the water looks a bit cloudy.
I’ve trimmed the red plants back and replanted the trimmings. Root tabs have been added too as we’re about 30 days since the last fertilising.
However, I have been having a bit of trouble with an explosion of blue/green algae. I’ve taken out most of the floating plants as the algae had colonised quite a lot of it.
The cuttings and remaining floating plants were given a thorough wash in tap water to rinse off the algae and allow the chlorine to kill the algae off.
Hopefully the pruning, fertilising and general cleaning will get the plants back to health.

Had a lot going on so it’s been a minute.
The good news is that at least two of the Amano Shrimp have made an appearance.

Oops. Forgot the past couple of days as I’ve had a lot going on.

I’m not sure what’s changed/changing in the tank but the Crystal Shrimp seem to becoming more comfortable.
I’ve seen four today out in the open. Still no confirmed sightings of the Amano Shrimp since the night time IR footage.

Thinned out the floating plants. So much more light making it to the substrate compared to yesterday.

Forgot to take a picture yesterday, so Day 46 looks just like this anyway.
Going to be removing a big chunk of the floating plants.

Another shrimp molt today. From the size of it it looks like an Amano Shrimp. Shrimp that I haven’t actually seen for weeks.
