Okay, I'm reading on this forum about everything last couple off months, learned a lot. Its time to show my aquarium (not that I'm so proud off it).
First off all, I made mistake by buying black silicon aquarium, and putting black foil on the back, but it is gonna be better next time.
Aquarium is 2.5 months old right now.
80x40x40cm
Light is Chihiros A serie 801
Filter Eheim 1050lph, with lily pipe
One more filter 750 lph, using like co2 reactor, with spray bar
CO2 9bps, 3h before light on and 2h before light off.
Light period 7h, 1h ramping up and 1h ramping down. Brightness is on 6th level from 7 dimmable levels
Ei dosing
First to see a picture from the day one, total disaster
Now think it is better, but still not what I want
Monte carlo, Althernathera mini, rotala super red, actually whole right side to the glass are new plants, few weeks old.
Had a lot off problems with algae and plant growth, now algae are almost all gone, plants started doing good. CO2 is from the last week finally at good levels, dropchecker is yellow, although on the picture is green, don't know why
I tried one artistic shoot, learning how to do it
I did some automation with PLC also, so I'm able to go on vocations with no worries about everything.
I'm preparing for starting over soon,have nice ideas from this forum. But for now learning about plants and their needs, when I "master" them I will give it a shot.
