Thought I'd upload a photo of my tank as it stands. It won't win any competitions but I'm quite pleased with it. You will note an absence of fish. I am ashamed to say I had a one time timer malfunction. Which meant my co2 for one day was on from midnight till 7pm instead of noon till 7. I am...

Just as an update I ended up increasing intensity to 100% and noted slightly improved growth although still not what I'd expect with the amount of co2 injected and ei. In the end I decided that contrary to what I had been reading on many threads about keeping light intensity low to reduce co2...

Yeah. I appreciate that but given that the last 5 months ive seen plants stay dormant and die I'm prepared to try more light. Realised a typo in earlier post as my lights were actually 45% this week. I am going to try a 15% increase today and see how I get on at 60% for the next week. Nothing...

I take it that you've not seen any adverse effects then over the last week with the 20% increase?

Wisey. Can I ask how much you increase them by each time? I'm considering upping them by 10% this weekend.

Wisey, thanks for the link. that was one of the threads I'd seen which made me reach the conclusion that increasing intensity is the way forward. My photoperiod is relatively short, 6.5 hrs including a 60 min ramp up and down. So only 4.5 hrs at peak. My thinking is that even if I raise the...

Interesting. Mine sit on top of the condensation glass within a hood, so I'm not able to raise them. They are probably 50cm or so from the substrate. I am having no problem whatsoever with java fern, crypts and anubias. I think my plan at the moment is to see if having them at 40% has any...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread...... But Reuben did you sort out your lighting issue with the tmc's? The passed 4 months I am having a very similar issue to you. I lowered intensity to 20% whilst sorting co2 dissolution and distribution. This resulted in no growth and plants eventually fading...
