Not much new going on - actually, more like I've been too busy with other things to do much more than sit and admire the tanks before bedtime. My cichlids should arrive tomorrow, but I haven't gotten a call from the shipper so I'm a little worried.
The planted tank is doing fairly well, although I have a mild ongoing outbreak of black hair algae, that seems to prefer older leaves. As I've run out of the liquid ferts I was using, I've decided to go dosing-free this week and see how things shape up - I buried a half-dozen or so more root tabs in the sand to tide the plants over. I'm pretty sure there's some imbalance or other going on - between the BHA, a couple older anubias leaves yellowing, and the cardinal plant leaves going somewhat pale, I know something's up but I'm not sure what. The crypt appears to have stopped melting - I'm shocked, I expected it to lose all of its leaves, but it stopped short of that point and appears to be filling out a bit. I had pruned off quite a few leaves that were partially melted or hosting a lot of algae, and it looks like all the new growth is coming in an interesting bronze color!
And now the promised movie:
