"Nature's Envy" Chilli Rasbora Pics

Hi buddy
Well iv been off too a rocky start tbh with almost every type of algae going. With the tank being so thin in width and the size of the rock almost central along the tank the flow was poor.

co2 was and still is high and light period lowered too 4 and a half hours and a co2 start of 2 and half hour before lights on and 2 hours before off.

Iv taken the Glass lilies off and added the eheim standard green in and out takes (spray bar). With double does of exel along with the few changes iv made iv almost sorted the algae problems.

Ill take some pics tomorrow as its been planted 5 weeks today

Cheers

At least you've got them all out the way at once
Recognising the problem and rectifying it is half the battle so pleased your winning
looking forward to pics.
Cheerio,
Ady.

Looking great. my first every tank last christmas was a clear seal, mine also had a black trim across the top but i removed it after a couple of weeks , do you not think it would look better without it?, maybe its just me. it still looks smart with it on though .

Quite high ISO so you can get plenty of speed. No need for a big aperture. Just mess about with the settings until you get what you like.

My last full tank shot was 1/100 sec, F4, ISO 800.
It could do to have been a bit faster IMO.
