Wow, absolutely cracking tank. Love it. Makes me want to try. Then I realise, no cai, you haven't the skill lol

water change today, i make a big one to remove tannins from woods.
Its take a lot of time, to heat the water before adding to the tank.

Blue color dont grow plants ,but make your tank look more natural, it dont grow algae as i read in a lot of forums.
If i use only white color lights , my plants look yellow.
In this tank i use for light one blue , two t5 at 6500k ,three red, and one at 4000k ,so its a compine of diferent kelvins and colors. g
The blue one its no name light. : )
its Just blue light.

Is it actinic light? The one used for attracting insects?
My T5HO hood only holds two lights, but when I used a 10,000 K and a 6,500 K, the green colors were very sharp. Probably more natural than the classic 6,500 K. Now I use 8,500 K tubes.

I dont know, its just blue.
There is no company or info on the light.

A small video , after 2 months of the setup, there is no space for plants.



And here my sulawesi tank , at feeding time.

An update , i done a litle space , for l. pantanal...
So i remove some plants and woods...
Any advice to do with pantanal?
I have only one plant, and i dont want to loose it.
Trim and replant or waiting to grow the new plants?
Now its on surface, if i leave it there is any problem with the upper leaves?
