ah thanks tom, should I just leave it then or will it wilt?

Ok so all is well in my tank, however one of my anubias has sprouted a stem that resembles what I can describe as a flower, but isnt, no petals or colour etc Just wondering what exactly it is or its purpose? Thanks

Thanks for that Ceg! with that considered my light intensity or PAR I would presume is quite high for the Co2 available, so I will look at reducing the photoperiod, algae isnt the worry as the tan still needs to stabilise, just for future reference really in terms of getting it right for the...

Not sure If I can remove a bulb or how safe that would be, but definitel duration I will need to work on for sure, have been now cleaning and removing excess algae that is too much for the current clean up crew roughly Ceg at 2 wpg ad my current situation of a new tank, how long would you...

Ah thank you for that informative description Ceg, I will definitely keep an eye on it, at the moment I would definitely put it down to too much light for me as I dont use Co2 but the water flow is constant and quite strong (fluval 4, 1000lph) so I am in the process of reducing light what would...

Thanks Ceg just wasnt sure maybe there was a cause or a consequence, especially with swords but just needing the reassurance, cheers

I was wondering whether leaves that are damaged in the sense that, they are torn, brown and dead edges or even seem transparent/faded should be removed manually? do they have an negative effect on the plant as such? I actually have one amazon sword plant/stem that the leafs fibres seem torn...

Thanks everyone, it must be brown algae alright then as it looks very like it, wasnt sediment just as I had it well soaked and spent a good hour filling from a small measuring jug on a plate, tedious but necessary! just curious but is brown dead bits on the edge of some leaves be common? is it...

Hey, I thought at 2 wpg it would be ok, but it could be an issue alright I shall ask him :) thanks

ah cheers, does look like it to be fair and ive leaves etc about need collected too, so on the agenda to do!

Cheers man, is it an alage or what? or just from them being new? also should i start trimming leaves that are browning off or looking bad? or is it just putting the plant through needless damage

Its a rio 125, Very heavily planted(can check my journal) No fish No cleanup crew the tanks ammonia is still damn high, so may do a water change, otherwise not sure what to do, thanks for the reply

I have had my tank set up now for one week, and the plants are growing, as I can see from their roots(mostly cuttings) but now the leaves seem to have a brown scum growing on top of a few, isnt very noticeable but wasnt there when planted, odd leaf going brown at the tips as a new planted tank...

Well it works out around 28 gallons, so 2W per gallon, that isnt so bad I would say low tech or not, lights always important however im aware of course it is limited by ohter factors, this is just one I will be setting for the future if I ev r change it, rather than buy a t8 only to upgrade...

Thanks Morgan for that, hows your project going with a similar low tech setup? im on reptileforums too

I shall take the lack of response as a go ahead

Ah no problem, its 81l, 36d, 50h cm, thanks for that

Ok so I am now seriously looking at my options in terms of plants, I have an idea of what I would like but not sure if the plants I want will really suit my setup Firstly it is low tech, thats the plan and methods going to be used Lighting - Currently shopping for T5 high lite, so this will be...
