Hi A week in the mature filter should do it for the sponges.Also mature leaf litter and presoaked wood will have bacterial colonies already established. As for your slow growing plants you can possibly add some Floaters too to do the heavy lifting till system starts running on 100%. Of coarse...

Hi out of curiosity can you please share pic of this moss please Regards Konstantin

Welcome to the community. Great looking tanks 👌

Hi I have grown it in ADA system CO2 tank with Easycarbo (x5 -x8) the recommended dose and it didn't care(Was actually strongest growing plant in the tank) If a plant dislikes the Easycarbo(or similar products)it is usually displayed with melt being rapid or in a week or two. +1 for being a...

Hi Blyxa japonica ((In bright locations will show brown(red) hues Cryptocoryne albida brown (this one when in not very bright spot has nice green hues to it) Regards Konstantin

Hi I will personally try to increase plant mass first before going the CO2 route as I didn't see any CO2 demanding plans on your list in previous posts.The tank is relatively new and not very densely planted. Its early days yet and you haven't really given it a chance. Some floating plants...

Hi and welcome to the community. If this is the 23l tank from your other post I will suggest to swap the Amano shrimp for Cherry shrimp.Amanos get quite large and need a roomier tank(I always had problems with them escaping smaller tanks than 60l in volume) You are correct about the Aponogeton...

Hi Following this thread and hope you will get to the bottom of it and resolve it soon. Just my 2 cents. During my latest ich attack on my newly purchased SAP Puffers (They seem to get it almost 100% when you buy (move) them)that took absolutely ages to sort out and the real game changer was...

Hi The Panacur treatment worked and haven't seen any more after that. Regards Konstantin

Hi and welcome to the community. Light choice is dependent on the goals you have for your tank.It matters if you plan on CO2 injection and what plant species you will be growing. I am not using the above mentioned led lights but Im running my low tech 100l ( 40cm high) no CO2 tank with 2 T8...

Hi Have you moved any plants between the tanks. I had babies appearing in new tanks with just plants in. Regards Konstantin
