ADG Raffle Tank - Finally!

[myjohnson]

Didn't cut the exposed roots, though.

Again, I commend you for your patience!

[Mzungu]

Why, thanks!

Yeah, I think that's the most important part. As long as the majority of the roots get in the soil, it doesn't seem to matter how much of the plant isn't "planted," at least for a good number of plants. They'll take off soon enough.

Didn't cut the exposed roots, though. IME, Hygro-types are pretty fast growers, and those roots should find their way into the soil in no time. I've noticed that even within 24 hours they've started turning towards the lights as well as growing lengthwise. So I think they're good to go.

Not sarcastic at all!

I use to be into planted tanks and know how hard it is to scape those plants.

Even with the right tools it's hard and take some getting use to.

But yeah, seems like you did a great job planting them too. All their roots looks cover by the soil.

I use to try to plant them the best I could and cut the roots that show.

[Mzungu]

Very nice MB!

I know it took a lot of patience to plant those!

Heehee, thanks!

Not sure if you're being all sarcastic, but it really did!! I think it would have been easier to cut them down to one node each, but that would have taken too long. :)

Very nice MB!

looks really nice MB!

[Mzungu]

Thanks, Luis! The background plant is actually from what you gave me at that meeting at John's. I forget which one it is...

And again, thanks, Kevin. It's still there today, so that's good! I love it.

[kwc1974]

Thanks again, Kevin. I'm so excited about these plants!! You're awesome. :biggrin:

Not a problem, I hope you enjoy.

[Navarro]

Congrats the tank is looking nice! I need to give you a couple plants that I think they will go well with your set up.

That will look interesting. Somehow I never consider hygro as a foreground plant, but this one looks nice and compact. Can't wait to see the tank fully planted.

Ditto, I can't wait for this to grow in! It's an awesome little plant.

And thanks, Tim!

Just planted it an hour ago or so. :)

[armthehomeless]

I keep trying to remember who made this tank, I think Tim knows .

I think MB is right - DSA. It is a really nice tank.
