Walstad Aquarium - 3 Months Later.


Its a major milestone for my tank but here I will restrict myself to the usual update. My learnings in the last 3-months will be published in some other blog.


Highlights:
- Major water change(40%) was performed after pruning. Cutting were propagated.
- No Pruning was performed on Pygmy Grass.
- To add in some Iron, small dried balls of Red garden Soil were insert in substrate at various places. 
- Addition of Potassium Sulphate has facilitated new growth in slow growing plants. Growth of Brown Algae was relatively less.
- Over the period of 3 months, a large portion of white sand had turned brown due to accumulation of brown algae. Some more white sand was added to make the substrate look whiter rather than brown.
