i am yes i just cant get any growth without

added some ferts today and are impressed with the pearling !

plants seem to be growing quicker now, hopefully i can start pruning and selling soon

planted pretty heavily hoping to discourage the cyano

hi, i was actually reading up on your last posts, yes i will order some thanks again

ok thanks for the advice

slight traces of cyano which im quite annoyed what shall i do

starting off slow, i really really dont want any nuisance algaes, but yea i will put some hygrophilia polysperma and other low tech plants

limnophila sessiflora and stargrass and 2 crypts planted

lets hope this tank will be algae free

low tech here we come,

decided to go with pea gravel

maybe ill try amazonia, as for fish yes, mixed rasboras neons corydoras

naaa ill use gravel, gonna concentrate on keeping some nice fish and easy plants and see what happens

tank at the mo

yh well it doesnt hold down the plants at all

hmm, no i wouldnt say so, i was dosing ferts so the plants could get nutrients whether from the water or the substrate, there was a time when i was thinking top soil, because i was getting all sorts of issues, in the end cyano and cloudy water was the death of me !! low tech definately this...

manado, dont buy, it is crap

yes i will keep u updated

plus i had no money to replace the co2, and a massive bloom appeared, was just too much work, now im thinking easy plants and water changes once fortnightly

ill post some pics, im going low tek because i was having trouble with cyano, cheers

hi all, thought id show what my tank is looking like, its ok just patches of cyanobacteria showing up

I will just order some line if I need, however, even though the tank has cycled now, I would have thought the plants would be growing faster and bushier with lime green co2 and ei ferts ? cheers

day after a trim, the ludwigia is starting to grow

sorry, props to lucky jim :crazy:

shout out to bantha man who sent me some ludwigia repens, im impressed with the redness of the plant, also he sent me another which is next to the staurogyne, anywho that's p cool, this pic is just after a trim, thx

algaes pretty much dissipating now so that's a plus, wanna get the substrate covered completely

manado yes, its not great, if I had the chance I would switch to aquasoil or eco complete

its a jbl substrate, not sure which

where are you based maybe I could pick some up, I have reduced the photoperiod just now to fight the algae

ok, noted, mainly brown algae but yes there are specs of cyano m8

algae on substrate level, im hopingthis will clear up once plant mass has been achieved, thx for asking

it looks like a freshwater sponge ?

bit of bba though raise your co2

doesn't look like it

sorry, I should be more clear, exactly was referring to the dutch style

Exactly, I think I stated that earlier, as I was changing a barrel a day, the nutrient count must be starved, now I have resumed normal w/c and nutrient dosing, cheers

very clean yes, keeping that drop checker lime green

okay so my schedule is still 1 barrel a day, but I have increased the photoperiod and are dosing ei

BOOM!

I cant ask for that

getting clearer, slowly

okay, I will

slight improvement, 1 barrel a day, 4 hour photoperiod

what, put sponges in your filter

pot scrubbers ?

day 1 of starting water changes every day with no ferts

ok, today is a day for new plans, 4 hours of light a day, 1 barrel water change daily, and filter floss, then well see

so you don't think I should buy a uv sterilizer yet ?

what about filter floss, any one know a good place to buy, ebay or. I know crews hills sposed to be pretty good, just hassle getting there

youre right

http://www.fluvalaquatics.com/ca/product/A202-106-canister-filter/#.VU_zzGd0yUkyoure right, its not

a lot clearer, but alas, it will not last

as im bored, im going to guide you through my water change process

really ! that's actually quite surprising, ive heard only good things about uv sterilisers

if you look to the last picture, its exactly the same, im just waiting to order my uv steriliser

and the others aswell

I agree, equipment cleaning is v.important and makes you feel good after its done because it can be abit of a hassle G

cheers jim, my co2 is dialled in at lime green, so carbon isn't an issue, (don't know if liquid carbon is some sort of magic cure) yes I have used these ebay plant stores, they are very good value for money, thx for taking the time to read my abysmal, but maybe educational trainwreck of a journal G

where are you based james o

ok, I keep my light on 4 hours at night and keep with my usual routine

I am @sonicninja. good to know rahms thanks, it is kind of strange yes, but the night time is when Im most active and that's when I like to see things in the tank

yes, all 4 lol

uv sterilizer is supposed to be pretty good, im just worried that it will keep killing the bacteria and it will be a vicious circle

ill give it a shot, but im highly speculative that it will work at all

I like having my aquarium on at night, I go to bed pretty late

ei dry ferts, yes there is fish

4 hours in the morning and 4 hours at night

http://www.allpondsolutions.co.uk/aquarium/aquarium-filters/aquarium-uv-sterilisers/aquarium-internal-filter-700l-h-with-9w-uv-700if/

did a restart, rinsed substrate in a bucket, 100 percent water change, put everything back, aaaaaand were back to cloudy, so it looks like ill be buying this

were not there yet lucky jim

ill leave it where it is then, cheers

nice tank btw

feels abit cramped now

that quick enough

I cant go low tech, what counts as low tech any way, getting lower light, and not using co2 or ferts, hmmm......... if this doesn't work or my uv sterilizer, then ill listen, it goes pretty bright yes
