Description: This is 22nd month update. Loomster is a sparkling gourami. This has been the calmest month for this tank. The plants are still growing very fast, but since the temps are cooling down these days, I expect them to slow down pretty soon. I believe the higher temps make the bacteria in the soil to produce more CO2. The tank’s temp goes up to around 28°C or 82°F. The light’s on 11 hours a day still. The broccoli was too big for the shrimp. I guess I should’ve used a smaller one. The reason I take out any kind of veggies after 24 hours is b/c it could foul the water. Loomster croaks almost every day. I suppose he croaks at the shrimp. He even croaks during the middle of the night when the lights are all off.
