Just for you!!

Carbon and plant are not good together as carbon conpetition your plant on minerals.

Peat plus carbon are in big work together as tge peat color water and carbon remive it!! So the carbon should be remove!!

Plus dont add phosphate and nitrate remover as this is fertilizer you remove!!

Put lots of biomax and as you run peat amd co2 look closely you KH!! Keep it at 50 min with 2 sources of acids! Can even be upper than that!!

Bye

looks GREAT! i wish mine looked that good

 

[Joemonk1987]

Yeah that's what I'm going for want more plants running diy co2 now so plant are perking up. Very clean good quality water made so much difference running pure RO nice soft water the clowns love it

 

[LyndaB]

That's really beautiful. The only thing I'd do is to put a backing on the tank. I just have a thing about seeing the wires hanging down the back.

Really well done, though. I too love the simplicity of it.

 

[Joemonk1987]

Thanks I had a backing on it originally but think it shows off the water quality better without, it was a blue one thought have contemplated putting a black one on

 

[Joemonk1987]

So what do you all think then











And my lovely cat

 

[kdpuffer]

Tank looks great, is that an upside down catfish?

 

[Joemonk1987]

Looking very nice. Crystal clear water too. Think I might agree about needing a background. I've black on my new tank & it does show things off well against it.

 

[Joemonk1987]

Thanks everyone much appreciated anyone got any pics of a planted tank with a black background then that would be very helpful
