Just some pothos maintenance

[Chockful O Phail]

So doing water changes and general maintenance and it seems I had neglected my pothos setup.

Above is my 125s nitrate reducer and I had let it over grow so that it had swallowed the lights. Below are a couple of the leaves I cut out being held by my daughter.

So have you seen a decent reduction of nitrates?

On this tank yes, only because of the setup but it's the only one I feel I could skip a week for water changes.

Wow.... that's pretty close to the size the leaves get in the wild.

I just want to confirm Pothos (I also have bamboo stick plants) on my tank setup, Nitrate is undetectable with duo of redtail catfish and tiger shovel nose catfish.

I thought my hand sized leaves were big, haha. This reminds me, I have enough now to start potting some around the apartment. How long did it take yours to start climbing? Mine is barely starting to.

Maybe a month before it had established its roots and started growing out of the tank, then every 2-3 months I have to cut it back down because the leaves will envelop the bulbs. The water lilies I put in with it didn't really ever catch on, probably because the pothos just beat it to the light.

I think it's time for another trim lol
