Update on DSM
Thank you everyone for advises and comments. Very appreciated.
So I guess it is time for an update ...
So far so good, I'm having some issue with one plant as you will see in the pictures below but overall I'm relatively satisfied with where it's going. I do have to trim though...
Ok may be I'm getting a little too existed here but it's GROWING !! :mrgreen:
Having a few shots of eleocharis acicularis 1 in long already after couple days is very satisfying 8)
following are some of my crappy photos :oops:
I think I have too much water too in there :?. I will try...
Re: Another go to planted tank
I've been trying to get a carpet growth with eleocharis acicularis for quite awhile now and never succeded. DSM seems to be the magical method for it. Since I'm not in a hurry, this method suits my needs.
Algae is something I need to work on and I'm not in a...
Hey guys,
I will begin with :
Tank spec : 10US gallons ( All glass ) LxDxH : 20x10-1/2x12
Filtration : Fluval 205
Lights : 15 watts at first, I can bump it up to 30w if needed
Substrate : Flora base ( red sea)
CO2 : none but will be using seachem flourish excel
Fertilizer : I wil be asking...
Never too late to answer ....
I wonder if it has been cause by over dosing the fert ( micro elements) which contains copper ... Not sure though.
Anyway, it is time for a rescape ! Below are the last shot as well as the pictures of my home made canopy :) ( I 'm quite happy with the canopy so...
thanks. appreciated.
Update:
Plants are doing fine but not the shrimps. I had a dead one that I noticed few days laters ... and so far lost all the adult shrimps except 1, not sure about the young shrimps.
I'll give the young shrimp 2-3 more weeks to grow , if I don't see them I will take it...
I need to keep this receipe in mind, always had a hard time to properly dose the yeast and baking soda. How long does it run with this proportion ?
I have two of this nutrafin ladder and I love them. It is nice to see the bubble raising while their size decrease. It was making me confident that...
No water change ...
Hi guys,
So for the past 2 weeks and I did not do my weekly water change ( 40-45%). The reason being my issues with algae ( mostly BBA) after each water change !
Anyway, the hair grass is recovering slowly ... Used to have patches of BBA all over :x Well it is still there...
N has nothing to do with Nitrogen in TPN :lol:
oh ... I think messed up with the NPK acronyme! :oops:
Anyway, knowing that the tank is "fishless" ( at the exception of two otocinclus ), Is the TPN+ alone will add enough of Nitrogen and Phosphorus?
I don't feed that much the shrimps, I don't...
Thank you. It was my thinking too with the red cherry shrimp and it is the reason why I moved all fish out ( the serpae are quite territorial and were nipping on the adult size shrimp). One of the female released her eggs yesterday, I can't wait to see all the babies crawling around :)
I found...
Tanks.
I'm still trying to figure out how to get rid of the BBA.
In the following, I'm not using the DYI CO2 anymore.
I do understand that I need to cut down on my water change since they are the cause of the BBA but I found it difficult not to do water change :shock:
Here are one of my best...
Continued
I do realized that the fern attach up was kind of out of place. Luckily after a couple day it detach by itself .
Day after:
One or two week later , BBA started to show up
Later again ..
First post here :D
I love this journal section so I thought I would participate.
I'm still a newby in growing plants (after a year ) and still doing the same errors over and over again ! :roll:
Well it does not matter, I'm happy with the result. :wink:
This set up was suppose to be low...
