Tank has a lot of foreground plants are u getting lazy and backing off on stems? I'd hide a few more varieties over the back. Although the tree u were considering could be a nice focus point for the tank.
I'll be putting some stems in behind the tree. There is a bulb plant there too. Aponageton of some kind. The possibilities are endless [emoji39]
How did you know I was lazy btw [emoji23]
I think if I remember from your last tank there was minimal time consuming plants in that one too may have given me a hint or 2 haha
Stems and more light...you're gonna be busy!
Beautiful looking tank Caliban07 [emoji4] can't believe I missed you closing your other one down.
Got to admit out off my 3 tank's my smaller one is definitely quicker and easier for maintenence 5 mins and it's all done! Wish my other 2 were the same Lol
The time thing... There is a small chance you need a nice 5G table top for a Betta or different shrimp Colony or planted garden. Just to keep you with something to do!
Maybe consider what Rastaman does and set up a tank for a planted tank competition??!?
What I was going to say actually was one of the plants I like is the Ludwigia Repens x l. Arcuata. Has a nice color to it. Haven't used it with CO2 but it should be nice.
Did you try a Tiger lotus or Red Lily yet?
The co2 preacher has fallen short of co2!?!?! Whaaaaat? [emoji28]
What kind of algae u getting?
I'd imagine your lighting would be pretty intense being a small tank
Good to see u noticed it so quickly
I know right! Had pearling and everything though but I'd be the first to say pearling can mean diddly.
Erm, maybe diatom like algae on S.Repens not sure what it is yet. Bit of green fuzz on the glass and some green spot. Only just going serious on the phosphate though and I think even when increasing P to sort GSA out we are assuming co2 is right.
Plants looked better today but I've hardly been home. Monte Carlo seems to be carpeting nicely.
Yea true. Phosphate is amazing stuff I've realised haha. I see a lot of people say "my drop checker is a nice lime green so co2 is fine"
I 100% disagree with this. Mine stays yellow most of the day and still I question if I have enough co2. I'd say I'm close but not 100% convinced.
New tank, new dosage, new co2 levels. It's gonna keep u busy for a while
Yeah. My DC had to go yellow in the 46. Couldn't count the bubbles they were moving too fast. I was lucky to get a month out of a sodastream bottle at this rate.
I notched co2 up a touch last night just because. Had to top the water up again. It's about every 4 days I have to do this. Not bad compared to some.
