Clearing up, all on full blast.
The tonina in my Low tech, inert substrate tank are much smaller in size, if that makes you feel Any better😂Your Toninas are pretty big! Maybe twice as robust as mine...

So excited to have a sand buddy 😍🤩🥳Sand tank folk stick together @Hufsa 😂 I’m preparing my self for a world of hurt and pain.
An interesting testimony of the twists of the Earth. Some 20 years ago most hobbyists ran on silica sand and those who didn't felt like adventurers.Really excited to see how far I can push the tank with sand.
Confirm from here. I've been attempting to emulate natural biotopes, i.e. very low nutrients by our standards. It can be done if you dose every day. I'm way too lazy for that.Watch out for low dosing
I think the problem with trying to emulate natural biotopes is that what we want in our tanks are sometimes nothing like natural biotopes. At least Ive never heard of a river that looks like plantnoobdude's tank. Not even the relatively species rich karst ones.I've been attempting to emulate natural biotopes, i.e. very low nutrients by our standards.
YayyySo excited to have a sand buddy 😍🤩🥳
I see I see. My eyes are wide open to spot any signs deficiency.Watch out for low dosing, your plants might hit the wall without the soil to back them up. But I bet you will be watching very closely
That is true. Quite interesting haha.An interesting testimony of the twists of the Earth. Some 20 years ago most hobbyists ran on silica sand and those who didn't felt like adventurers.
I have no problem with daily dosing.It can be done if you dose every day
very good point, nature’s plants often look very uhmmm natural.what we want in our tanks are sometimes nothing like natural biotopes. At least Ive never heard of a river that looks like plantnoobdude's tank
I really don’t mind, in fact I find it quite interesting!But I shouldnt derail @plantnoobdude 's journal so I will leave it at this 😁

A small dark part of me wants to see your plants struggle a little bit in the sand, to make myself feel better about my struggles.
But the rest of me thinks that is very mean and I think you will probably totally nail this too 😃 (just to spite me 😭)

Hard to see on the picture, I hope im very wrong but is there the start of some BGA on the leaves midway on Pantanal?All things considered things aren’t going too bad.

I’m not sure if it’s bga. I thinks it’s just fluffy green algae. It doesn’t smell of much.Hard to see on the picture, I hope im very wrong but is there the start of some BGA on the leaves midway on Pantanal?
Or hopefully just thicc green dust algae
Cyano should stink very aggressively foresty/boggy. Like too much / in a bad way. Cyano can sometimes grow on plants if they do very poorly. I checked some of the older pics where the hue is different, looks more like very well fed GDA 😁👍I’m not sure if it’s bga. I thinks it’s just fluffy green algae. It doesn’t smell of much.
Wouldn’t cyano usually attack substrate? Near the glass, anyway, there’s none against the glass.
Very easy plants😁 never complain about dosing.Those toninas are some thick boys
