Hello,
As I have explained in my introduction thread, I spent the last month reading every corner of this forum, and I had started my first tank 3 days ago.

Issues
I will post photos from my drop checker, and entire aquarium, and more photos with some plants problem examples.
My LFS are from the opinion that I should remove my Filter output tubes along the back of the tank, and install the 4 pipes on the same side of the tank(2 output and 2 input). The output, should use only the output hole without any tube, like lily pipes. From what I have seen here, I think it isn't the best for the flow.
My LFS are specialised only in aquascaping and managed by a very well known scape, and I feel they have very knowledge about it. But, of course, they recommend whatever works for them, and don't mean other scenarios are not equal good or best. So your opinions are very important.
Do you think the problem are related with the filter flow and location? My drop checker are in the opposite side of the CO2 output, and are yellowish.
thank for you help, and sorry for my English, but isn't my first language.
As I have explained in my introduction thread, I spent the last month reading every corner of this forum, and I had started my first tank 3 days ago.
Setup:
- Tank: 170x50x60
- Filter: 2 x OASE Biomaster 850 Thermo
- CO2: Pressurised CO2
- Lights: 3x Chihiros RGB Vivid 2, on 8h day =(1h ramp up + 6h 80% + 1h ramp down)
- Substrate: First Layer JBL Volcano, Second Layer Tropica Aquarium Soil, Third Layer ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia (I want to use tropica+volcano only, but during the scape I needed more soil and my bfs only as ADA available)
- Fertilisers: Tropica Plant Grow Premium
Log:
- I planted 3 days ago
- 50% water change every day
- 5 Tropica Fertiliser pumps every day
- CO2 = 7B/s and drop checker almost yellow
- Due my Amazonia Soil, my GH drops from 5dh to 2dh and Kh from 3kh to 1kh. On day 2, I raised my GH to 8dh and today (day 3) I raised KH to 4dh
Issues
- My plants don't look very nice. Maybe it's normal in the beginning because the roots are not established, but since it's my first tank ever, I start to panic about.
- Montecarlo pearling in the very first day, but since day2 are struggling and some leaves are almost white.
- Christmas moss, start to exhibit yellow in the end of the leaves
- The other plants, are with mix colours in the leafs or with twisted leaves
- In day 3, only red plants and Anubias are pearling.
