The photograph shows the positioning of the plants chosen, and then planted with a clear idea in mind of the volumes and spaces they should have.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Below is a history of the tank itself:<\/p>\n
As you can see, the tank suffered during its first month of maturation, an abundant outbreak of brown diatom algae, which had covered most of the rocks.
\nDiatoms are algae that feed on silicates, but as I have a newly purchased reverse osmosis system with integrated anti-silicate resins, I am sure that the water used had 0 TDS.
\nDuring the maturation phase of a tank, there are so many variables at play that one must arm oneself with patience and bombard the tank with specific products for biological activation.
\nPROBACT<\/span> <\/i><\/strong>used in conjunction with VIVIDO<\/span> <\/i><\/strong>allowed me to recover the situation. logically, close maintenance and cleaning the rocks with an electric brush accelerated and made the biological action of the bacteria effective.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You see that it is starting to take shape, now it is essential to intervene in pruning and in keeping to the shapes and spaces set in the design phase… most of the time the plants take over and start to grow, taking up the space available… this is where constant maintenance, and pruning, comes in.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And here is the shot that participated in the 2018 IAPLC.. 48th in the ranking
\nThis shot encapsulates all the study done, all the constant work and a lot of patience in the attention to detail and maintenance… everything is encapsulated in a photograph.
\nThat is why we must be able to convey our passion and our art through photography.
\nAs far as fertilisation is concerned, I relied on the super expert line, as I needed to be able to dose products in a targeted and studied way.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The protocol I used could be summarised as follows:<\/p>\n
– FLORIDO TRACCE<\/span><\/i><\/strong> and FLORIDO Fe & Mg<\/i><\/span><\/strong> dosed once a week in conjunction with water changes; <\/i>
\n– FLORIDO C7<\/strong><\/span><\/i><\/b>, dosed daily;
\n– FLORIDO K7<\/span><\/i><\/strong>, I tried to keep Potassium constant to ensure at least 15\/20 ppm;
\n– FLORIDO P7<\/span><\/i><\/strong> and FLORIDO N7<\/span><\/i><\/strong> dosed after the first month of tank start-up, trying to maintain a sort of link between the plant mass present and the dosage of these elements. I start dosing them with the precise half that the protocol mentions in the instructions and then gradually increase the dose weekly, always maintaining strict control of the plant mass present in the tank… so logically after each pruning carried out I go back to reassess the dosages.<\/p>\nWhen it comes to activating the BIO SYSTEM, I now constantly rely on BACTERYA<\/span><\/i><\/strong>, BIO-ALGANEX<\/span><\/i><\/strong>, PROBACT<\/span><\/i><\/strong>.
\nVIVIDO<\/span> <\/i><\/strong>has helped me with algae.
\nAs a conditioner I used SCUDO<\/span><\/strong><\/em>, and for the salts to be re-integrated LINFA A&B<\/span><\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\nI think that from this article you can really understand the great work behind a tank and a project carried out with determination and a lot of willpower.<\/p>\n
This tank gave me a strong emotion and great satisfaction by being in the TOP 50 of the 2018 IAPLC, ranked 48th out of more than 2500 participants.<\/p>\n
First in the ranking among Italian participants… but what really counts, apart from the international ranking, was the emotion I was able to derive from it during every maintenance and every intervention.<\/p>\n
Aquascaping also means spending hours and hours in front of your creation in silence watching and listening to nature.<\/p>\n
