Never used excel but do use a liquid co2. Are all liquid CO2 the same ? Plants appear to grow healthy especially new growth from original stems, but only bottom seems to go yellow and rot making it detach from substrate and float everywhere.

Hi I've planted Egeria Densa in my none co2 tank. I planted it straight into the gravel in bunches , it grows quickly and well but eventually the bottom 2 to 3 inches turn brown lift from the substrate and float all over the tank, am I doing something basically wrong ?

Thanks, pretty sure it's down to the flow, which isn't that strong but seems to flatten it not sure what to do really tried changing the flow but that caused other issues, may have to concede defeat and leave it , maybe another A sword the other side may give it some shelter ?

Thanks I have placed fertilizer tabs under and around it, I think you may be correct about the flow flattening it, if that is the case then fine I can adjust that in some way, I was more concerned that I hadn't planted it deep enough, a bit like bulbs in the garden if planted too shallow the...

The Ulvaceus is to the right of the Amazon Sword and has leaves equal to the height of the sword just lay on the substrate, you can see a glimpse of it behind the wood.

I can but it won't show much as the bulb is at the back behind some wood

Hi guys another newbie question, I planted one of these bulbs several weeks ago as instructed 2 thirds in the substrate 1 third out, it grew very well from the start putting out new lush leaves every other day. The only issue is the leaves don't stand upright and just flop onto the substrate...

Ok thanks guys

Not a great pic but you get the idea !

Thanks I was going to put the pot in the tank to grow some more roots as I thought with just a few roots it may not stay put.

High I have an Amazon Sword plant with a runner and two small plants , the top plant on the runner has four leaves about 2.5" long and three white roots also about 2" long. I want to remove this top plant and put it into a small pot to grow a bit before planting in its final position. What can I...

Never did grow and stunk to high heaven

Just come out thé other side of this fungus/ sap took about 3 weeks to clear, my amano shrimp didn't really touch it, as gas been said Syphon it off or use an old toothbrush, some tends to come back but eventually it all stays away.

Ok I've just lifted it out, the bulb is firm but it does smell a bit ripe , I've replaced it after removing the mould which came off as I lifted it. It did appear to have a white tip so hopefully it will be ok , I'll leave it another week and see what happens.

OK if you don't think it'll do any harm I'll lift it out and give it a squeeze.

It was firm when I planted it ten days ago, haven't removed it yet as don't want to do more harm than good, will leave it another week if no sign of growth I'll remove it and have a look at it.

Hi can anyone answer a question about this bulb I planted recently. I planted it with one third protruding from the substrate, it was a bulb only with no leaves. Ten days later and no signs of growth but since day two it has been covered in what looks like a kind of translucent white fuzz...

Thanks

Are shrimp guards necessary for all shrimp species ? I'm going to add Armano shrimp to my set up when its done , the filter is an Eheim Pro 3, would filter guards be necessary for Armano shrimp ?

Thanks

Thanks for that guys, I think I was getting mixed up with dipping rocks !. Another question is the rhizome's are about 6" to 7 "long on these, they only seem to put out new growth from the end of the rhizome is there any way to make them branch out . Also if I cut the rhizome to make two...

I have some anubias which I have had growing in my Malawi setup for a few years now. I want to remove these and use them in a future planted tank. They have a bit of black and brown algae on them which comes off easily with a sponge. I thought I read somewhere about dipping them in a weak bleach...

Wow beautiful aquarium , thanks for sharing.

Thanks that confirms what I thought

Does anyone have one of these lamps from Green Aqua, and if so can you operate the tubes independently or do all four have to be on at once ?

Which tubes specifically would you recommend for the Giesemann ?

Thanks for the detailed reply appreciate it

Ok thanks for that , are 80w tubes readily available in the UK ? And I assume the led lighting I have at the moment are of no use ? Are the Giesseman Razor available in the UK or do they have to be ordered from Germany ?

Couple of more questions guys, my tank at the moment has a hood and cover glass, would it be best to remove these before adding lighting ? Thanks for the led suggestion Tim would one unit suffice on a tank my size ?

Thanks I'll have a look at that

Yeh I was thinking low tech as I'm just starting out , with easy plants for the same reason, I have no real idea of budget, but I have kept a reef tank in the past so know things can add up !

Hi guys I'm currently running a Malawi cichlid tank, which I want to change to a planted tank. The tank is 60'' X 30 X 24 (30inch top to bottom). It currently has led lighting which consists of X2 triple Inter pet led bars. These are rated at 10,000k , there are 45 leds per bar each led...
