Very nice. Did a 30 gallon 3 ft long by 1 ft wide by 16-18 inches height, tiered with upper 2 tier dirted substrate capped with black gravel and black sand, dry start method with 2 bags of mystery carpeting seeds. One bag was super small seeds and other was much larger seeds. Larger seeds turned out to look exactly like your glosso carpet. Not sure what the smaller seeds are, (maybe HC/dwarf baby tears?), but looks almost exactly like glosso just MUCH smaller not even quarter inch tall vs the half to 3 quarter inch glosso.

This was great. One thing about the Anubias rot. You may have a fungal issue. I regularly score my Anubias with scissors to get the rhizome to branch and throw out shoots and it’s never rotted when I do that.

When i heard that I was sure u were gonna kill off ur plants ^^ How long did u decide to run the lights for? Really nice job man!

@Kahaniaa 6 жыл бұрын

Hey, Nice video. Indeed great information. Thanks. Your anubias melted not because of any disease instead coz of high light. Dwarf grass and the other carpeting plants needs more intensive light comparatively which you are already providing in the set up. Hence due to high light anubias melted. Hope this helps.

@AdmiralBlackBeard 6 жыл бұрын

Do you think it would be feasible to use a large tote to start immersed growth for a carpet and when its thick enough maybe cut it to the shape you would want in your tank(like sod for a lawn)? Planning a 265 gallon don"t want the whole bottom carpeted . could go ahead and start the growth/carpet so when its time to set up the tank it already has a good start.

What’s your experience with growing Monte Carlo plants particularly without pressurised CO2? Is it still achievable in a tank with ADA Amazonia soil and sufficient lighting without any CO2? I’m currently 4 weeks into growing it using the dry start method and would prefer not dosing CO2 if I can avoid it.

@moayadsewar988 4 жыл бұрын

I've emptied my tank from (2 f&m betta fish, a separator to plant the gravel, some big plants), and I kept the gravel and the substrate beneath the gravel. My gravel is brown dark. I've noticed that I had some kind of algae between the gravel ( a sticky one and some brown colorish on the plants) I didn't see that before emptying the tank. I've dropped the carpet seeds, covered with gravel, cover the tank with plastic wrap, and I put a light to keep it work and moist. My question is: will the seeds grow with this algae?

@johngrisum 4 жыл бұрын

I wouldn't do seed as they can be not to species. Asian sellers are really bad for this. Most carpets need moderate to strong light and at least a moderate amount of co2. If you have an established tank with lots of fish (co2 source) starting a carpet from a bunch or culture should be easy.
