Moss Transfer & Pothos Rotation

🧰

March 14, 2026

Performed the weekly maintenance water change.
Completed a large water change, draining approximately ~99% of the sump and ~70% of the display. The larger change was paired with plant maintenance during this session.
Maintenance performed:
- Trimmed Java moss in the display tank
- Transferred moss trimmings into the sump to continue growth and nutrient uptake
- Trimmed pothos plants growing from the sump
Current pothos maintenance method involves rotating growth: new cuttings are placed back into the original planter container where the earlier vines originated. This keeps a continuous propagation cycle between the tank sump and the plant container.
Prime was dosed during refill as usual.
Purigen media remains in service and is estimated to have approximately one month of life remaining before the next replacement cycle.
System remains stable.
