Hi,you could try moving the atomiser to just below your power head/out flow so the co2 bubbles get pushed across the back of the tank hit the side wall and come back across the frount of the tank.That way if the flow is sufficent you should get much better co2 coverage.I would also raise the...
Hi,big fish do not go well with good carpets.A 6 inch pleco thrashing and sucking around will wip out the tiny roots on lightweight carpet plants in no time.And i allways thought silver dollars were plant eaters,maybe I'm wrong.I suppose your best bet is some kind of cryptocoryne carpet,that...
Limnophila aromatica is a top plant,shame you don't live in Northern Italy you could have had some from my tank!It grows with rapid pace in my tank and i have to keep it in check with regular trims!Cheers Mark.
Hi there,the plant you have that sends out a shoot to the surface is from the Echinodorus family.On this shoot that comes out of the parent plant is a new plant,that is how many Echinodorus reproduce.Not sure what type of Echinodorus this is there are a lot of them to put it mildly.Maybe someone...
Hi Martin good idea to heavily plant your tank from the get go for sure!Benefits are that you will be creating a healthy tank from the start,with a good plant mass you will have less of a chance of having a problem with algae which is a right pain and a common problem in the new tank.Important...
You have had some good advice allready but i went away for 2 weeks and cut the lighting to 4 hours a day co2 5 hours a day(came on 1.5 hours before lights on).Plants were fine when i came back.Leave some water prepared for top up's it is suprising how much is lost due to evaporation.Cheers Mark
No mate never done a fishless cycle.I used Hygrophila polysperma,Hygrophila corymbosa,Hydrocotyle leucocephala and Ludwiga repens all fast growers.Limnophila sessiliflora(good spelling!)would be a good one too.Cheers mark
What you went through with that slime problem was an absolute nightmare i followed it on the forum.I can only say mate over the last 15 years or so i have started off my number(10aprox)of tanks allways in the same way.Heavily planted from the start with some fast growing plants present which...
I put some in yesterday after doing my water change and could notice a bit of a difference in water clarity even with hand prints left by my 4 year old daughter on the glass!Will take Viktor's and George's advice and up the dosage used,it seems like good stuff.Cheers mark
Yes for sure limit lighting eg.if you have the tank Lit for 8 hours cut to 6 or 5 try to cut over the period of a few days.Like greenview said keep Co2 going adjust it accordingly with your lighting,to come on 2 hours before lights on go off one hour before lights off aprox,use timers.Most...
