Aquarium Advice FINatic
And everything is still growing. Ludwiga Ver. Pantanal, tonina belem, tonina fluviatilas.. the glandulosa was looking sad before and still is.
my biggest challenge is I took the top off the tank (acrylic) and am having a harder time maintaining levels of co2... I am creeping up.. leaving only a ripple in the top for 02. I had no idea how much co2 was trapped in the tank all of this time. I even thought my drop checker (teardrop) was just insensative when I didnt' see large swings from nignt to morning despite airation and no co2 at night.
it was all the closed top. I can't help but think losing more co2 but trapping less "old air" has to be better for the fish.
I will never do 4 plus watts again. .. so far anyway
