Hi all,
Just having a few problems with my 4 day old tank (I know its early days, but I'm a panicking newbie).
So I noticed V. Spiralis melting/going brown on the second day of it planted. The crowns are above the substrate to prevent rot. Is this normal, I read they bounce back after acclimatising?
Also my Cryptocoryne Parva is developing brown patches/ holes?
I am dosing my 10 gal with Neutro T ferts, NO CO2. As I want this to be a low tech tank! Im not sure how good neutro T is, I was thinking of investing in a fert with Nitrate/nitrites?
The substrate I am using is Caribsea sand with a layer of tropica plant growth substrate underneath.
Also there is a film on the surface of my tank (biofilm?). Should I do water change, the tank is cycling so I assumed I should let the good bacteria establish, I had a bacterial bloom on my second/third day which has cleared up (don't have a test kit atm).
Sorry for so many questions, and excuse my ignorance!
Thanks
