How Much I Trim my 125 gallon planted tank

[APColorado]

Just trimmed my 125 g planted tank and this is 1/3 of the tank. I will trim the 2/3 of the tank next week


This is a very large bowl

Wow! Is it mostly Ludwigia? Are you going to post it in the BTSF forum section to find it all a new home?

It's a combination of :

Ludwigia sp Rubin
Ludwigia sp red
Ludwigia atlantis
Ludwigia senegalensis

I ended replanting them in a 40 gallon tank (that has zero fish) just to grow in a snail free environment. I will probably post in the BSTF next year.

Nice! A woman who lives in my state did a massive trim & transplant between a few of her tanks and gifted me what she didn't need. It went a long way toward planting my 55 gallon so I always like to make sure people aren't just tossing out their cutting. So many people out there are looking for a few good plants.

I've been giving my trimmings to some of my neighbors as well. These trimmings came from a high tech plant so they grow really fast and always trimming them. That is why I bought a few in the beginning since I knew they would fast and I just trimmed and replanted in the 125 gallon.

Now I don't have room so they go in the 40 gallon low tech plant tank with zero inhabitants.

You can always follow my path... just buy a new tank to fit them in

It's a good time to buy - Petco $1/gal sale is on!

I'd get murdered if I bought another tank

I'm pretty sure I'd have to get divorced before I could bring another tank home. Husband.... new tank... husband... new tank.... It's a tough call.
