This is really cool. Very modern looking. Especially in person.

It is absolutely fabulous and very original. I agree with Victor. We should have included that in our OC Fair exhibit .

Mudman · 07-28-2010, 11:39 PM

cool! I really like this idea.

Jules, is this intended as a permanent thing, or just a one shot deal? Either way it's cool, just wondering...

update with some new pics please.

jules2k · 07-29-2010, 11:22 PM

update time:

I had a chance to do some water changes tonight and some trimmings too. After taking the photos I noticed that 2x67k bulbs are just too yellow for my taste. I am planning to pick up a pink bulb tomorrow to balance out the color just a bit.

Here are the photos and I hope you guys will enjoy it as much as I do.

looks nice Julian!!! I really like the lotus....have you been trimming it to keep it low and bushy??? or is it naturally growing like that??

xmas_one · 07-30-2010, 02:21 AM

Yes I do trimmed it to keep it nice and compact and I also noticed it's having babies already too like 3 babies from the center bulb.

Dan: to answer your previous question, Im going to try to keep it as long as I can but cleaning is a pain. Removing the fallen substrate is the most difficult part when it falls to the base of the bowl. I used a small tube to syphon out the substrate then but it back into the bowl again.
