    Guppy’s keep dying (help with diagnosis)

    If all your water parameters are good, maybe they were just sick or had a disease when you bought them. I really don’t know.

    Stable CO2

    Well this subject has been a good one . The OP original question sort of got lost . [Hi what’s the best way to know you have stable CO2? ] The answer is do you have good plant growth? You can measure, test etc.. but it’s simpler than that.. do you have minimal algea? Are your plants growing...

    Hair grass tuning white... Help!

    Yea but that’s usually after it’s already been established growing with co2, and then co2 is removed. It will maintain for quite awhile but its appearance will be hurt without co2. It always turned white and melted on me anyway when I tried to start it in a non co2 tank. You may Have better...

    Water Changes with Shrimplets

    I have accidentally sucked up hundreds in my time. It’s a quick ride to the bucket. Shrimp roller coaster I call it. It never killed any.

    Advice for a newbie

    With everything you mentioned I would go with a small tank.

    lilaeopsis novea-zealandia should I prune before planting?

    I wouldn’t trim them either. Definitely don’t trim the roots. I used to trim the roots of emersed plants I bought, under the assumption it promotes growth. I was wrong. I watched a great video from a gentleman who grows and sells emersed plants. He gave a very detailed explanation of why you...

    Advice needed

    As the others mentioned flow and co2. Looking at you tank I really like the scape! Looks great. I believe you will have a up hill battle however. You mainly have moss and Anubias it appears and sparse stems. It’s a very lightly planted tank, with slow growers. My only advice would be more flow...

    Think I’m done with Aquasoil

    Well lots of good opinions on this. There’s no wrong substrate to use, just wanted to see what others thought. I use it ,but won’t going forward. I agree about the expense of it , expensive dirt for sure. For me the main thing I absolutely hate about it is the mess it makes after trimming. No...

    Think I’m done with Aquasoil

    After keeping many planted tanks over the years I do believe I personally have come to the conclusion I’m done with Aquasoil. I seem to much prefer eco complete. I can easily list many reason why. I still do have 2 tanks with Aquasoil, but I believe when a rescape is due I’m going all in on eco...

    BBA delayed reaction to CO2 issues

    I could be wrong here but I believe bba usually comes from plants driftwood etc that you bring into your tank from another tank that had it or spores from it. I read that somewhere before. If you get plants that were growing submersed in another tank your supposed to soak them in like a 19:1...

    Diaper in tank leads to destruction

    My only question to my daughter was , you see he doesn’t have a dipper on didn’t you go looking for it. She said she did but my bedroom door was cracked open she peaked inside and didn’t see it. I said yea it’s in the tank!! Lol

    Diaper in tank leads to destruction

    I came home from work yesterday to find my 2 year old grandson diaper in my 14 gal planted tank. It was a poop diaper !!! The tank was a complete mess. I was angry and laughed at the same time. I scooped out the diaper which fell apart into a gelato like mess. I removed all the plants and was on...

    TNC Complete - EI equivalent dosing

    Honestly if your tank is only 4 to 5 weeks old be patient. That’s a very young tank. There is more then enough fertilizer in TNC. It takes time. Be happy with nice slow growth as long as plants are healthy and algae is at a minimum.

    Colour Enhancing food

    I use shrimp king, my shrimps love it and am a fan of Dennerle, but I honestly don’t buy into the whole color enhancement aspect. The only thing I have ever seen make a difference in color is in my guppy tank when I feed live brine shrimp.

    Best co2 regulator

    I don’t have experience with this one, but you usually get what you pay for. The old saying buy once cry once. Probably not a U.K. saying lol.

    Bryce’s planted tank

    Yeah I’m honestly not sure how or if it will work out. The only reason I think it might is I sort of stumbled on it by accident. I found a few had broken loose and were growing great inside the rice patty plant. I was like wow they look great I wonder what would happen if I super glued them to...

    Get your garden out

    I’m jealous of you guys and the beautiful gardens you have. Here in the desert in Phoenix it’s to hot for most gardens. But here’s what I have. Not much!!! Lol

    Does excess co2 inhibit plant growth?

    That’s correct,.....but at that point you have a nutrient deficiency. Or you could say I have extremely high co2, very high ferts but your lights are too weak, now you have a lighting deficiency. It’s a circle, everything needs balanced. But to answer the question, no high Co2 doesn’t inhibit...

    Does excess co2 inhibit plant growth?

    I don’t know , your co2 level would have to astronomical . I see what your saying. I never herd of somebody co2 so high it destroys the bacteria. Even in huge body’s of water the co2 level is greater then we could ever achieve in a tank and the cycle is perfect.
  28. Bryce

    Does excess co2 inhibit plant growth?

    Look at the ferts if you feel the light is right. I’m not familiar with the one you’re using. Is it based on EI? I personally use heavy Co2, EI ferts, and low to low med light. I looked at your journal. No , the bacteria in your tank does nothing for algae, it does not keep it away. That’s was...

    Does excess co2 inhibit plant growth?

    Does excess co2 inhibit plant growth? No . However there is a point of diminishing returns, and that point is extremely hard to get to. Just because that same lighting worked for one tank doesn’t mean it will for another. Your algae issues are not enough co2 for the amount of light your using...

    Maintaining Hydrocotyle tripartita

    I would cut it down to as low as could then push it down in substrate. Ultimately I removed it from all of my tanks. It just grows to fast and takes over.

    Jasons Learning Curve

    Looking good. My only advice would be plant in heavy right from the start. If your budget won’t allow that right now, no big deal the tank isn’t going anywhere. Save and buy lots of plants not hardscape. You will reap the rewards. You can always hardscape later. This will benefit you in many...

    Persistent Diatoms in Mature Tanks & GDA

    Beautiful studio!! My hunch is lighting.. your tanks appear to be sparse in plants, heavy on the hard scape and that’s your style. I would back way back off the lights some, Crank up co2, or add more plants. This style is a tough one to balance. My 2 cents

    Oily surface scum on new tank - reducing light

    I get it all my co2 tanks. I don’t know what it comes from or what it is, and frankly don’t care at this point. I see it and just want it gone.I use surface skimmers, Eheim 350s and glass types. They work. I know there’s a lot of ideas of what it is and ways to combat it . My guess it’s a bi...

    Product Review Sera crystal clear

    Picked this up about a month ago. I have been running it in a few of my tanks. Got to say I really like, it makes a difference. It’s a little expensive but worth it. I use it in conjunction with Purigen. If your water is not crystal clear maybe give this a try.

    Bryce’s planted tank

    Big water change today. I moved a few plants around as well. Still just in grow in phase. Maybe another month before can really shape plants.

    My plants are turning brown and black need help

    It appears you don’t have really any stem plants mostly carpet plants. You wont have to go crazy with the fertilizer but it would absolutely help. Maybe Thrive, or some root tabs, I would pull all algae you can. So more water changes a week. Up you co2. Raise or dim the lights for now. As I said...

    My plants are turning brown and black need help

    Add ferts if not already. Water changes, up co2 clean up tank , get rid of all dead organics. It will turn around just give it time.

    Eheim 350 surface skimmer fix

    Thought I share this tip. I have owned 2 of these so far. The first one out of the box the impeller would not spin. I returned it . I got a another one. After about 2 months the same thing happened. I was pissed. I thought about it and said I have nothing to loose. After looking at it I realized...

    Some of my plants. I never could grow Pogostemon helferi before it always melted. My LFS said plant the whole tissue culture in middle of tank about a inch deep and leave it be. He was right I had almost no melting and it’s growing. I have really been taking my time with this tank. High co2 ...
