Even i thought so, but this plant leaves are broad.

Hi All, Can somebody identify the below plant, got this as gift when i purchased plants but the seller didn't mention the name of this plant.

Finally all the larvae gone plants are recovering now, and thanks for identifying the larvae, i almost removed 42 worms lost most of the plant leaves but now recovering

Hari you adding only RO water right, so it's magnesium issue mainly add some gh buffer like seachem equilibrium or make your own below is a link which i used to make my minerals. http://www.theplantedtank.co.uk/RO.htm

When plants grown this tank is gonna look stunning for sure:thumbup:

Thanks for sharing the video Marcel, its aquatic moth only, the behavior of the larvae is just like in the video, so now i need to wait for balance larvae to emerge moth :arghh:, and their is no treatment as far i checked need to remove manually whenever i see them.

Yes the plants all grown emersed in the farm where i bought, but farm says they used to do potassium permanganate wash before shipping, i also doubt it came with the plants itself. I tried that but no use. Anyhow 2 days back i added live stock after seeing no effect.

Wow really beautiful, can you give your comments on twinstar usage

In low tech will take time for the plants to settle and EI is for good co2 and light so you need to make some changes in your dosing, below is the link where you can calculate for low tech dosing http://rota.la/

I never tested for po4 but when it is less your tank will show some sign like GSA in leaf and glass, I added Eichhornia Diversifolia plant last month and start getting GSA Eichhornia Diversifolia leaves also started turning black which is a po4 issue so in my EI dosing i increased po4 within a...

Wow great so we can expect a 120P journal soon, have you decided about the tank, filter and light, so you gonna use LED or T5 and while arranging the layout don't damage the floor;)

is the video ready?

Had the same issue with mine so at the time of water change kept some rubber under the stand and made it level.

Hi I have shared this post in another forum is that ok.

very nice layout you really did a good work with this tank:clap::clap::clap:, but in the above pic your tank level does seem straight coz your water level is high in left and low in right side, it doesn't create any issue?

Finally found the issue happened to stargrass, limnophila aromatica and lobelia cardinals, it's my angel fish chewing the leaves but it does only to these three plant don't know why, just lopping them not eating it and sad think is i thought limnophila aromatica has some deficiency coz only...

Thanks for the clarification, will check in local electronics shop first, for brightness will add a dimmer to it.

Hi Baghro, I'm from India too seen this led in ebay, but most of them add red and blue led with it for proper photosynthesis, but you never used any so it will work for planted tank?, and can you also provide link from where you got, check the below link...

It's just a guess coz when i connected my co2 reactor to my eheim 2215 the flow rate reduced and have media also so i guessed at least 100-150L/H should have reduced, same with another filter coz it is 5 stage filter and all the tray are filled so i came up with that figure.

Thanks Julian will connect mt my 2000L/H canister

Hi All, I bought hailea 150A chiller according to data sheet they told to use 200-1200L/h pump max but i got 2 canister one is eheim 2215 which is 600L/H water flow but actual it will be 400 to 500 because of filter media and co2 reactor attached to it and another one is sunsun 304 which is...

Thanks for the clarification clive, one more doubt so if photosynthesis rate occur high in 12000k bulbs that means it will consume more co2 ?
