aquariumfertilizer.com I have no affiliation but I do business with them

I figure people are always looking for a good light and a great value .. This one so far has exceeded all expectation

Amazon.com Lightimetunnel LED Light 165w Wifi I had to replace my light on my tank. My beamswork started to have a few banks of LED's flickering... I am posting this here because this light is the shiznit. This is a copy of my Amazon.com review These lights are an amazing bang for the...

Yeah I add Liquid CO2 on top of my pressurized CO2 as part of a daily fert routine. 1 ml should be a good place to start

sorry got busy yesterday At this point we know you have good light. We know you have a decent fertilizer. We know you have Pressurized CO2 What we don't know is if your plants are using up your ferts quickly (not enough) or if there is too much. Hence my request for you to at least measure...

Excel will help with algae but won't cure it. You will need to feel out your balances to get to the cause of your increased algae. I myself supplement my pressurized CO2 with about 2 ml excel addition daily. I run a densely planted 30 gallon tank. It should not cloud your water

1 ml of ferts ='s about 20 drops or a 1/4 tsp I'm guessing does your fert carry N P and micro nutrients Usually when I start seeing algae like yours its because I am under fertilizing. Hard to make that call since you have short light period.. And 20 drops of fertilizer seems like more than...

very hard to troubleshoot. We will need much more information.. What about fertilization schedule ? What type of fertilizers ? What type of CO2 are using. DIY or Pressurized? Whats your PH before lights on. What's your PH half way through CO2/Light cycle What is your substrate ? What...

you are going to have to watch your plant growth to determine if that is ok. Also check to see if you're getting a PH drop during the day indicating CO2 in the water column. My only observation with diffusers is all the bubbles going straight to the surface. Which brings us back to reactors.

yes it can.. A reactor is more efficient overall and more reliable IMO.. I've had issues with diffusers... getting plugged or watching bubbles drift to the surface and end up in the air. As for CO2 directly on leafs. If your diffuser is distributing CO2 bubbles thoroughly to the underside of...

I too concur with the placement of the diffuser. The goal is to put that as deep as possible and in a place that keeps the bubbles pushed down into the water column. The longer the CO2 bubbles are churned around in the water column the more CO2 is dissolving into the water as carbonic acid and...

Some good info in here for your Anubias https://aquaticmag.com/aquarium-plants/anubias-nana-caresheet/

Hard to call with limited information. What other plants are you having trouble with or is it just the Anubias. How often are you fertilizing, and how much, what's your PH level... Some plants will melt in transition... SO some of this can be normal, but with the info you have given we...

That is crazy weird. Its like the CO2 is not dissolving into the water. I would do what was mentioned above. Figure out your PH drop. Take your PH reading before CO2 comes on and then take it again middle of the day when CO2 concentration should be maxed. I would also recommend building a...

Fissidens Fontanus works excellent I attach this with crazy glue gel. It forms the leafs on my bonsai trees 30 Gallon Freshwater Planted Aquarium by Daryl Pienta, on Flickr
