The leaves on my S. repens are drooping in my dry start tank. They were submerged about a week ago. Is this normal? What do the signs suggest? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So I bought some S. Repens that were submerged and propagated them in my dry start tank. Does anyone have experience with their acclimation period? Is it normal to see some melting and browning, considering lights, gas exchange, and nutrients are all accounted for? It's been a little under a...

I also found this: PAR Data & mini review: Finnex Planted+ & AHS LED's - Lighting - Aquatic Plant Central

Are you referring to this post? Finnex RAY II & FugeRAY PAR Data They don't have the PAR values for the Planted +, but I would imagine it's slightly above the Fugeray and slightly below the Ray2. However, the values mean nothing to me, as I am not as adept at lights as I would want to be :( I...

Hey guys, I have a 29g tank that's 16 inches deep. I've been looking at multiple light fixtures, and so far I have my eyes on the Finnex Planted +. I'm going to be starting a carpet (most likely HC), so I'll have to consider the depth of the tank, and I'm not exactly sure if the Planted + will...

I've also read this before, and I plan on getting some red cherry shrimp for my 30g planted tank this week. Does anyone have any firm evidence that Seachem Flourish is safe for RCS? Thank you!

How does excel combat algae? Isn't it liquid carbon?

I'm thinking about that after I run through my liquid ferts. I'm a beginner though, so I'm not sure how to prepare dry ferts.

I believe that's what I'm dealing with now. Can you elaborate on spot treating and H2O2? Thanks!

Hey, I have a 30g with CO2 injection. I dose Excel, potassium, nitrogen, and trace (all of which are from Seachem.) I run lights 7 hours a day. I forgot the exact details on my lights, but I don't think they are the issue. The stems of my HC have been quite flimsy lately, and it's been 2 weeks...

Is this an iron deficiency? Thank you!

Hey guys, I have a 30g planted tanked. I have my lights on for 7 hours a day (from 4:30 pm to 11:30 pm), and I dose excel, trace, potassium, and nitrogen. I have about 20 tetras in there, and I run a 2213 Eheim. I also inject CO2. Can anyone figure out why I may be getting green thread algae...

Just because they're not pearling doesn't mean they're not conducting photosynthesis right? I just read that pearling only occurs if there's a saturation of O2.

Is pearling the term for the release of O2? I'm dosing excel in addition to CO2 injection though. Thanks!

As a treat? So they find dried ones more appealing?
