Rotala Obsession Vol. 2 - Emersed Rotala - 17 Gallon Planted Tank

[@EltonL]

I’m starting to fall in love with Rotala

[@maniniscapes1936]

It's a crazy one, but so beautiful. All about Light intensity, Co2 & fertilizer manipulation.

[@unso.fish.ticated1490]

Everything looks so good man! I can’t wait for more vids!

[@zrwn]

Finally see videos from you again! The growth is crazy, i removed all Rotalas from my tank, only kept the Sunset now hahhaha

[@maniniscapes1936]

I love stems, especially rotala, the maintenance tho! 😂 This was my solution to it. I no longer keep rotala anywhere else except for ‘florida’ hahahaha! Good to see again you friend!

[@StephenP2003]

This is a really well-done video, and the growth is just astonishing. Great job all around. I have been trying to let mine emerse naturally, but it's so far preferred to just grow across the top of the water. But seeing yours, it looks like the solution might be to place the stems way more densely.

[@maniniscapes1936]

Thanks for watching! Plant the rotala as densely as your overall tank flow allows. For a long while they will run around and fill the tank submerged. Eventually you will have a mat that will start to send emersed tips. Allow the emersed growth to get dense before trimming back and it should maintain itself thereafter. Rotala grown emersed is a joy to keep! 💚🌿

beautiful experimentation, beautiful rotalas indeed

Jeeesssus! That's alot of light power. What does your light schedule look like? I just got an ai prime freshwater but am shooting in the dark on what/how the photoperiod should be scheduled.

[@maniniscapes1936]

Try something simple at first. Approximately .5w - 1w per gallon for approximately 6-8 hours. Later you can manipulate ramp time/duration to extend the photo period as well maximizing peak intensity. DM me on IG for more explanation. @manini_scapes 💚🌱

[@legainnamchyo4836]

Hi! Which rotala gives the yellowish tone?

[@maniniscapes1936]

Macrandra! But it really it comes down to light & co2 intensity - leaning ferts can allow color enhancement as well.

@@Linux00s oh yeah! I forgot about the kessil! I rarely use the kessil in my builds, sometimes Ill use it if i need a tiny bump in intensity. Thanks for support! Im working on 5 new scapes, hopefully they will be ready for filming soon! 💚🌱
