Added one pump of easy green after testing. This is a continued experiment in doubling the dosage of fertilizer for this tank. So far things are going well and I will continue.

Two 3D printed related updates:

• The floating rings I mentioned in the last post are not working out. They do not float as high as foam rings and do a terrible job blocking duckweed. I'm going to try some new slicer settings at some point and see if they will float better with less walls, etc.
• I created a surface skimmer model to skim off duckweed more effectively, it's working great.

There has been a rotella on the left side of the tank that has gotten way over grown. I could see roots growing up the plant at various nodes. I took a few cuttings glued them to seashell and replanted. I expect this will work but we'll see.

I also discovered an anubius that melted away. This guy was in the left at the edge of the rock perimeter. It had little space and a lot of competition, so I'm not super shocked. I composted it.

I also noticed that my windelov java ferns have begun to be ready for propagation. If you look at this picture, in the center you can see a fully grown leaf with roots growing towards the top. In the bottom right I have clipped one of those off and planted it. Will keep yall updated on how this little leaf does.
