    Frogbit taken a turn

    Hi.. I remember reading through ur threads when I was having issues with my frogbits and I think we did converse too. Anyway my frogbits looked almost like what u have shown in your pics. And it was not due to flow related issues. It was definitely nutrient based. As far as micros are...

    Keeping rotala rotundifolia short

    Rotala can be kept short by constant trimming. But it is gonna be a pain trimming it because of its high growth rate. And it really does look better as a background plant. And as it closer to the light the red ones really light up. You could try bacopa species. Might suit your needs. Sent from...

    INLINE OR INTANK co2 diffuser

    I have been researching this topic quite extensively these past few weeks and from the discussions held till now it looks like most experts agree that co2 misting using a diffuser is better than a inline reactor. Tom Barr recommends it and Amano uses it. There s some consensus that microbubbles...

    First Planted Tank

    It's a beautiful setup and seriously awesome for a first attempt. The wood placement is great. So dontb worry. Just decide at height u wanna trim. Since they r background plants u wud wanna be able to c them from the front. So u can probably trim when they reach a couple of inches from the rim...

    Plants not Healthy - Light or Fert (or both I Guess)

    Help!

    From the looks of it the plants in the pics don't seem to be doing well. Especially the older leaves. And the dark patches look like GSA to me. Now my advise to u is this.. do not try and fight the algae. Try and keep ur plants healthy. That s the key. I have had several types of algae hit my...

    Some advice on my low tech tank?

    Wow.. I like the way the substrate has been done in clean fashion and also the wave like effect. Driftwood looks awesome. Plant distribution could be altered a bit. Anyway key to low tech is the light. Think ur lights r 27 watts and it's a 32 gallon tank. I know wpg is crude. But it seems to be...
