Good progress in my 10gal planted. I'm using a DIY c02, high lighting, and its a mineralized topsoil tank. However the water seems to be getting more and more cloudy and green. And it's uninhabitable to fish. What should I do?

Just started treating my topsoil for a mineralization process. Ordered all the ingredients needed. And I just started soaking the soil. Anyone have experience with this?

I want to purchase some aquasoil for my 10 gal new planted tank. Going for high tech with lighting and ferts. Is 3L enough for a 10gal? Also do I need to cap it? If so would flourite work for the cap?

Set up a 10gal tank with some standard topsoil and put some of my remaining hairgrass in it and left it outside in the sunlight. Now it's starting to spread and I am very interested in how it's working. I would like to once it spreads enough, bring it inside and flood it and use it as a new...

Wanted to know of this potting soil would be ok for a planted tank

Flooded my dsm and set up two DIY CO2 systems so I would have well more than enough c02 in the water for no melting. But the water has become really cloudy ever since I filled and hasn't cleared. The DHG is kinda turning yellow. And algae has bloomed all over the floor of the DHG area. What do I do?

Recently started a dsm on a 10gal tank where I am growing DHG the substrate is Eco complete and I have 4 18w t5 on it with a 6500k spectrum. Yesterday I was misting them and adding some more root tabs (as I read one should do) the liquid I used to mist was water from my active fishtank mixed...

Restarted the dsm as the plants I selected were the wrong ones. I'm using Eco- complete soil saturated with water from my active fish tank. I also inserted a pack of root tabs into the soil today. And planted with dwarf hair grass hoping to get a carpet. I also put some regular topsoil in a...

Here are the pics of my micro sword DSM tank that I just started. Will post pics as the tank progresses. I want to plant some taller more "bushy or bush like" background plants. I'd love suggestions on those too

Been looking into the DSM method but I've read everywhere that when flooding the plants tend to melt if you do not use enough c02. I do not have a pressurized c02 system so was wondering what the possibilities of my plants not melting on a DIY are I can set up 2 c02 systems with 2 separate glass...

I recently had to re start my 10 gallon aquarium after an ich outbreak. I really want to make a completely carpeted dwarf hair grass set up. These are the specs I was thinking of. Lighting: odyssea t5 4x18w lamp Fert: A DIY c02 setup leading into a glass diffuser, and regular weekly dosing of...

Just started a planted 10gal. I used a laterite sub layer and then capped it with regular white sand. Currently I'm using 2 CFL bulbs to light it one is a 18w 5500k and the other is a 14w 5000k. I'm running a DIY c02 setup and currently have the water to about half the tank and the filter off as...
