Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Katrina71]

My lights have been all actnic for a few days. I have been told it's fine to have no whites. I know color will be better and growth will slow down. I'm cool with that. Any negatives I may have missed to not having any whites?

I can’t think of any negatives. A lot of shops keep everything strictly actinic to show off the colors.

Tank is looking good by the way :)

Thank you. I have been contemplating swapping for a while. I talked to a shop owner about it quite some time ago. I really don't like the blue glow. This is the worst my tank has looked in a while. I have a little cyano from a couple of corals being rehabbed in my tank from Andrew's.

Torches do not like his tank. At all.

I love your tank, I would move the gsp to touching the weir section, let them spread over it.
How many Gallons / litres is it, I think I have one sitting in the garden? ;)
Got to love it a bit grubby?! :)

I had a staghorn Skeleton covered in GSP. Tore out my scape to get a nem. The GSP is in a temporary location.

 

[Katrina71]

My scape is going to move vertically. That's the plan anyway.

@najer what is the weir section? I might like your plan. Translate please. 29 gallons. Grubby. Lol

In your AIO, it would be the back wall.

That is exactly where it is going!

Many keeps the gsp on the back wall it will act as a nice background.

I love GSP and xenia. I know...weeds.

No, just flowers in the wrong place, I am currently working on getting star polyps on my back glass! ;)

What would be best to use to attach large plugs of gsp to the back wall?

I have 2, 3” plugs.

I hope you don’t mind me asking here @Katrina71.

Thanks!

Just put a plug of it up against whatever you want it to grow onto and it will. Of course, if you get it against something you don't want it to grow on, it will grow there even faster. :eek::p

I would like to start them half way up on each side of the overflow. Superglue?
