My Pothos Jungle

[Bderick67]

Just though I'd post some pics of what is turning out to be the best filter I have. My Nitrates run less then 20 ppm before a 40% -50% WC every two weeks, though this was tests from 6 months ago. Will post results from new test her in a couple weeks. One runner is nearing 20 feet long Have had incredible growth on these since I moved the roots into the overflow.

Some pics of the runners uncoiled for tank maintenance





The plant that all originated from


and the runners replaced after maintenance



Compare the growth from last January

Here's mine, these four runners are over 4 years old and between 6-10' long.

My trates are in the 10-15ppm range, tested before weekly 30-40% W/Cs.

Epic! I'm looking forward to mine tanking off and minimal water changes too. Do you provide them with any extra lighting, or just the ambient in the room?

 

[Bderick67]

No pretty much just the ambient room lighting, that's even with the blinds closed most of the time. The large metal halide light is on 2-4 hours per day though.

i am sure those plants will be good air filters as well.

I wanted to put some on my tank over each overflow but I worry about the roots eventually slowing down flow blocking particles from going down the overflows and or clogging my dursos.

Definetly something to watch for, haven't had any problems yet myself.

I might just go for it then.

Very nice pothos Brian!
They grow like mad under good lighting.
I have roots from my pothos plants hitting the tank bottom.
Not to hijack your thread....but take a look.

How long did it take for it to reach that length?

Hey Brian, do you have any pictures of how you have them sitting in the overflows? Or tell me what you're using to keep them in place?
