Hi, I’ve been running my first proper aquascape for 18 months and I’m just finding it too much work to stay on top of the maintenance without constantly getting overwhelmed with algae and poor performance of plants.
I spared no expense with the tank and equipment, from AG, started as an Iwagumi then switched to current after the algae farm I created got too much!!
I spend about 90 mins per week on it. See photos for current results. I enjoy it generally, but feel fed up about the algae and am considering whether I’m just expecting too much for the time I’ve got available (I even struggle to get an hour sometimes).
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
EA Aquascaper 900
CO2 art dual stage regulator
Oase 850 filter
Switched from inline co2 to a reactor a few months ago
Twinstar LED 900S lighting 8hrs per day at 80%
Any comments appreciated.
