CanadaquaBetween Pond and Tanks

Things growing

The reeds and rushes are coming back nicely, the daylilies are a good 10 inches high, and I started planting the berm. There’s a new bleeding heart (alba) and two nice ferns. Alas, alas, I can’t take any pics, cause the camera broke.

Still no neons

I wanted to divide the large java fern on the side, so took out half of the water to get at it, cut it up and restick it plus some seven or eight new little plantlets. First time I did a 50% water change since set-up. I hope the fish will be ok with this, and all the java fern divisions will survive. Unfortunately, I can’t take any pictures ’cause the camera broke. *sniff*

Even though I treat the new water with Blackwater Extract, the color of the tank water has cleared up dramatically with this. I can actually see that the rocks on the back wall print are gray rather than brown. Not sure I like it that much, but I guess I’ll get used to it, and the water will get a little more yellow again, too.
