diy aquaponics kit | Plant Grown in Low vs High Tech

diy aquaponics kit

There was many discussion in forums about how attractive low tech tank due to low maintenance, less algae, low electric bill but fail to mention the pant grow differences. From my experience growing plants both in low tech and high tech tank, I notice obvious grow pattern differences. Some are minor and some are quite obvious. These grow pattern may not be important to planted tank hobbyist but it is very important to Aquascaper. Sometime or most of the time, we want them to grow in certain manner to expose its beauty.

Im trying to compile list of different aquatic plant species grown both in low tech and high tech. How it look when it grow in low tech compare to high tech. It will not be scientific, let the botanist handle that part. There wont be any explanation why, it will be just simple obvious observation between the two.

All of the pictures are from my tank. It will take a while to compile it, especially those plants grow in low tech tank are very-very-very slow....zzzZz......

Definition:
Low Tech: Low light (e.g. 1x24W T5HO over 2ft tank), no CO2 injection, no fertilizer dosing
High Tech: High light (e.g. 4x24W T5HO over 2ft tank), CO2 injection and EI fertilizer dosing
Both tank are using ADA Amazonia soil, water temperature is around 25 degree C. Also the color different in the photos, unless mention otherwise, is due to camera white balance.

1. Glossostigma elatinoides

Beside the obvious of Glossostigma elatinoides grow faster in high tech tank, it grow smaller and shorter in low tech tank. Some may ask "how did I manage to grow creeping glossostigma in low tech tank?"... Top Secret.... LOL... actually I cant give much explanation, it just did. I have no problem growing creeping glossostigma in both low and high tech tank. My guess something to do with nutrient balance but more research need to be done to confirm it which Im not gonna do.

diy aquaponics tips | 2ft River Valley

diy aquaponics tips

Many aquascaper have created mountain scape, so this time around I decided to try one for myself. I want to make mountain scape but I do not want it too look like another Iwagumi. Time to ask uncle Google for advice. I am browsing around internet looking for idea and the first photo that caught my attention was lake Moraine. I decided to make something similar. After few months of plants grow, I notice the scape become too borring. My team mate call it newbie tank.

I am having trouble creating large size lake just like in the photo without making it too boring. In the photo the water in the lake create ripple and reflection which make it interesting. No way to re create that with white sand. Large empty area with same material or plants always make it boring. I need to find the way to break it. Searching for alternative way, I found fantastic photo of Toad River from National Geographic. So I change the lake into small river with many branch and twist. It wasnt a great scape but at least it shouldnt be too boring.

O... by the way this tank was suppose to be experimental tank. Many people (I was one of them) believe that flame moss need cold water (around 25 degree C) to have nice flaming effect. But I was wrong this tank water temperature was hover around 28-30 degree C with the help of 24hrs fan and yet the moss give nice flame effect. On hot day, it can even go up to 32 degree C. Also if you are notice, I use only 36W PL to grow HC on 2ft or ~20 gallon tank. Again many people was think that HC require very high light but not necesary the case.

The only different is moss grow in high water temperature look skinnier as seen in 100% crop below. The moss on top is flame moss and the moss below is spiky moss. See how skinny the spiky moss is compare to the same moss on my other chilled tank.

Tank specification:
1. Tank size: 60x30x32cm
2. Light: 36W PL
3. CO2: 2bps injected using inline diffuser
4. Temperature: 28-30 degree C
5. Filter: Eheim 2215
6. Substrate: ADA Amazonia
7. Fertilizer: EI

Plants list:
1. Hemianthus callitrichoides
2. Taxiphyllum sp. (Flame moss)
3. Taxiphyllum sp. (Spiky moss)

Some photos showing where the idea come from. Photos was taken from the internet, not mine. So if you are the owner, please let me know and I will take it down.

Mini pellia grow in high tech tank grow denser compare to the one grown in low tech tank. At low tech tank, the branch grow longer before it split. It is hard to see from the seperate picture unless put both side by side and take the picture.

diy aquaponics trout | Trimming the Flower On the Strawberry Plant

diy aquaponics trout

Today I had to cut off all the flower buds and premature fruit from this plant that I allowed to fruit. It is not healthy and its best to just remove letting plant grow.

Could it be to the heavy down pour that were experiencing lately causing damage to fruit or is it lacking nutrient. I need to try and find out and make it better.

Slowly Im learning.

So much for that, the good news is.. finally two of my Strawberry growbed has been completed.. there are eleven plants in each of the growbed. Now I can let it grow till next year season.

There is another two smaller growbed and I need another two plants to make that complete.
